- Let's talk about WHAT makes Warhammer 40K so special?
Is it the miniatures, video games like Darkside and Boltgun? or is it something more specific? like the amazing lore or artwork?
Thank you all for watching, I'm back boyz!
This video originally was posted on my second channel, but as it got hacked and yeeted, here it is on my main channel!

What a way to return to the channel.. Hope you guys like it
gatekeeping is what keeps 40k good, every single other franchise nose dived as hard as it could the moment they gave it to tumbler fan fiction writers when CEO's thought cheap writing was a good investment over the integrity and foundational lore of the IP itself... 40k though does have a few people that needed to get a smack from time to time... looking at you Matt Ward.... prepare yourself though... the DEI banks and ESG loans are coming for this next and female space marines will suddenly happen through some hand wavey BS of Belisarius Cawl and they will be better than all the other space marines. where even the lowest rank one is going to be lifting up necron pylons and smashing the face of tyranids with it like it was a battle mace. and the empire will suddenly see the error of its way and be friends with the tau and aeldari. slanesh will turn out to be the only good chaos god and is just misunderstood, everything slanesh will then be painted in pink, white and light blue and pride parade all over khorne to save humanity from the bigots. the emperor will be killed and thrown in a ditch for a communist socialist regime and the beacon of light that guides humanity through the warp will just work because these tumbler writers didnt even think about how to fix it.
Every good story has an end. Lord of the Rings. The Hobbit. Harry Potter. The Chronicles of Nath Dragon. Shadow and Bone. The Harbinger of Doom. The Dwarf Series.... Every one of them ended after the story was over.
Sure, they had epilogues and prologues, and maybe some even had spin-offs. They certainly did enrich the story and that's well and all, but that's the thing.
They all had their moments. They had a plot. They had an antagonist. They had a timeline to follow, they had a climax at one point in their stories, then the crisis is solved, the apocalypse is averted and our heroes leave as the story closes around us.
But not 40k. No....... no no nooo... The reason I enjoy 40k is because it's endless. Its still ongoing. There are threats ever rising. There is war and fighting and action without end. The heroes leave after a story. Of course they do, they're moving on to the next battlefield, the next threat. The characters are varied....
And the lore!
The lore. There's SO MUCH lore, i cant seem to get enough of it. I think thats what attracted me to 40k. Endless lore, something i can take to enrich my whole life.
Sure, if books popped out for the other series I'll be thrilled just as much. Even if it was the 27th book of LOTR where "Frodo and friends meet with the delegates of the Men of the East of Middle-Earth", I'd read that. Of course, it might get tiring after a while, and some might even get disillusioned with the setting.
So yes. Its entertaining, and i love the infinite lore. Thank you for listening to my TedX talk.
TL;DR....... it's the lore that got me hooked into Warhammer 40k amd Fantasy. Not so much AoS.
Ha that was awesome!
" Lord of the Rings. The Hobbit. Harry Potter. The Chronicles of Nath Dragon. Shadow and Bone. The Harbinger of Doom. The Dwarf Series"

Boo-hoo-hoo
Yes I can
I wrote the list
Deal with it. 🤡
once I was at a friend's house looking for a book in the attic and I found its Minis. I asked him what they were (blood ravens) and from there I dive into the hobby. I got really hooked within a year and now have a hundred Black Templars and I'm always looking for something new in the Lore.
then youve found the right spot!
I'm pretty new to Warhammer in general and still have never played the table top game. But what I find special about 40k is that it's a sci-fi/fantasy universe but everything is turned up to 11 out of 10. Everything is huge, everything is over the top there's a crap ton of factions and stories and lore all tuned up to the highest possible level. Which at times feels like its pushing on the edge of silly, or too over the top. But that commitment to epicness and scale creates some sort of magic that I never experienced elsewhere in fiction. It just hits different
fully agreed!
First real interaction with WH was when I was looking around B&N for a new book and bought a random 40K book cause I was curious. That book was "Know No Fear" by Dan Abnett, one of the best 40K books and one I reread even after all these years. 40K may not have a solid beginning to read but god damn is it a lore you can get thoroughly absorbed in no matter where you enter.
Absolutely!
Got into warhammer just a few months ago and I’m now obsessed with the lore of it. I remember I discovered warhammer a while back when I was like 9 when I was watching a youtuber modding a game called tabs( totally accurate battle simulator). At that time I didn’t really get into it and it was only now after graduating from primary school during the holidays my interest for warhammer grew. I started by watching some UA-cam shorts than watching major kill and tts which eventually got me into this
That's awesome!!
@@Dutch40KGuy thanks bro
My brother in law got me into the hobby several years ago, he asked me if I was willing to buy half of a box he was buying it was Nurgle vs Stormcast Eternals and ever since I was hooked I have a pretty big Nurgle army and Death Guard army and several others as well
Nice!!
I'm almost 35 now but I still remember the day in elementary school when I opened up my friends Space Marine Codex and was absolutely enthralled by the artwork, the scale of the battles, the lore, etc. GW has done a lot of things that annoy me and straight up piss me off (RIP TTS), but they've created something that I've not stopped loving for almost my entire life, and for that I thank them.
First thing about wh40k i ever saw was a meme, the meme where the Ewoks tried crushing a sentinel like they did the AT ST, and the pilot is just looking so bored. I then saw the hype in the comment section about Warhammer 40k and looked it up, now I have every wh40k audiobook.
ha thats amazing!
I got into 40K via lore channels that made the the weirdness of the setting very intruguing:
Arch and Later Luetin, in my case.
For me, I first got into 40k in 2019. I watch this SCP lore channel called The Exploring Series, and he started a small video series on 40k beginner's lore. (He actually started doing 40k lore again recently, very cool) I decided to check it out on my phone while I was waiting for my high school class to start, and I was enthralled. My favorite sci-fi series at the time was Destiny, but 40k would overtake it in the following years. For me, medieval-style imagery and stories pushed into the future was why I like Destiny (and still do), and 40k pushes that aesthetic to another level, which is why it is now my favorite world. I started collecting minis in late 2021, and am now a very avid Dark Angels fan.
I used to watch those too! Amazing series
As someone who really likes history, 40k scratches an itch that very few other franchises can pull off with even close to the same level of intensity. For most other franchises, it is clear that it was designed as a story first and foremost. Stories start, progress, and end. Real life doesn't work like that and neither does 40k. Just as the countless wars of our history can all be told as their own grand epics (everything from earliest wars in ancient Mesopotamia and Greco-Persian Wars to the late wars of World War 2, the Cold War, and the Ukraine-Russian War), life continues on even after those wars are concluded, no matter who won or lost. This principle applies to 40k. The Imperium of Man is older than all of recorded human civilization and they control 1+ million worlds. There are so many stories to tell, to the point that if we combined all of the fictional stories humans have ever told or written, there would still be far more in 40k.
40k also has the unique advantage of having over a dozen main factions as well as many other subfactions. Most stories have 2 or 3. 40k has way more. This allows for a ton of customization and a much higher likelihood of finding a faction that a new player would like. And, if all else fails, they can make their own subfaction up as well.
40k is both very expansive and extremely diverse. Which is why I always roll my eyes at the mention of a lack of diversity or representation. It's all there, you just aren't looking for it. And that's your fault, not the franchise's.
Fully agreed!
A friend back in secondary school introduced me to 40K, next day I bought my first white dwarf and began saving up my paper round money for my first ever mini, metal terminator with lightning claws. Spiralled from there.
The vast universe is what keeps me interested in this hobby. You can do so many things it's incredible
I love the models. I ordered some 3d printed ratmen and I have been devouring lore. I know if I love it I will get deeper and deeper into it
Then hopefully you've come to the right place for some good lore!
just got home after a long ass walk, open youtube and saw this video randomly. thank you for entertaining me after a long day man, this made me happy watching this 👍
I really appreciate that!
hey, i got into this great hobby all thanks to my old man aka. my dad who started WH40K when he was 14 (he's 49 now). i got introduced to it when i was 7 (i am 23 now). we went to a store where he was going to play Warhammer fantsy (Old World) but of course as a kid, 40K looked way more amazing and yeah, now i have a Dark Angels army together with my dad who i pulled back into it (in a funny way) and way we play against each other sometime or i go to a store or the local club in my city to play it. i'm also painting my Cadian army rn while texting this and even during watching your amazing video. and tbh, this hobby is just more than a hobby to me as it connect me with other people while i have autism so thanks to this hobby i meet other people and am i making friends even which is normally not easy for me so yeah... for me is it something unique if i have to say it this way in a possitive way.
I watched a zannys video about warhammer 40k space marine in a nutshell and that is how i got in to warhammer 40k and all the references zanny made in that video i remembered for another old video like warhammer vs halo vs star wars comparisons i heard warhammer in tham videos but was not interacted in it until zanny made a video about warhammer and boy was it fun
I have seen that! Love Zanny as well hahhaha
I grew up as a big Star Wars fan and also loved the Stargate franchise but around 10+ years ago a buddy of mine, me and a lot of other were writing on an online RPG story. We mixed a bunch of scifi universes together and he also added assets from 40k. Later he pointed me to the (for many) infamous Ultramarines movie that I fell in love with. Since then I started to play Dawn of War and other W40k Games. Over the years I read dozens of 40k books and started around two years ago (with a lot of pause due to RL) with miniature painting :D Sure I wasn't invested fully in this time in the hobby, but I never truly lost track and unlike Star Wars the depth and fascinition for the settinng failed me. 40k claimed the ultimate spot for my love to scifi.
Heck yes!
Late at the party.
I discovered Warhammer for the first time around the age of 12-14 whit a phone game about the knights; after one week i completly forgot and move on.
One year ago i come across a meme video about Skaven in Total War Warhammer 2, and it was istantly love whit Ikit Claw.
From there i started to watch a bit more into the lore: chaos, beastman, dwarfs.
Then i passed onto 40 K, where i rediscovered the knights.
That's amazing haha! I used to play that Knights game too so I know how you must've felt
Hmm my first introduction was at a shop in the mall with my dad. I noticed the Elder Scrolls daggerfall box, and we both looked at it, and joked about it having been released as an updated version with over 1000+ bugs fixed or something. Just good old Bethesda keeping the tradition alive.
That is when I seen below it was Warhammer shadow of the horned rat. I noticed the box, and it was some dude fighting Orks, and it reminded me of a fantasy Total war shogun. So I showed my father, and he bought it. My uncle told us it was a board game like D&D, but with large battles. After that I got an undead army, and some pack with five space marines, and gobs, and was hooked from then on.
GW really got ya!
Fantastic video!!! Your script was solid and the visuals were *chef's kiss*. Recently got into the hobby due to the lore. Starting my first miniature painting next week!
Glad you enjoyed it!
The only ever warhammer figurine I owned, was a Chaos Warrior Chariot in metal, from like 2000 or something. I did a piss poor paintjob, but was still just happy to have this bad ass little model on my shelf.
I remember playing Dawn of War back in 2004 and thought the whole scale of the game was insane. I started reading wiki pages about certain units, factions and special characters in the lore. Now nearly 20 years later, I'm still eager to learn, play and enjoy more warhammer, be it fantasy or 40k. The franchise is the biggest god damn rabbit hole Iv ever willingly jumped into, and by the emperor it is magnificent.
The best thing about 40k as a hobby you are part of the community evan when you are not playing the table top game.
I got into Warhammer because my cousin liked it and also my brother mentioned it to me. I also saw some Space Marine figures a little later. I liked how deep and over the top the writers went. I also liked that certain stories had different feelings and tones to them. Each character is very interesting to me and has very good appeal to people depending on what they like. Choosing a faction can be hard, I usually choose Humanity. ^^
Ha! Nice
@@Dutch40KGuy it's been a very fun experience! The community is very great and fun to interact with. :)
Also my brother is in his 30s so I remember the Space Marines game very well.
What got me into it? I started when I was pretty young with 2nd edition. I was drawn to the Tyranids because I loved xenomorphs. I played through college and fell out of it in 3rd edition.
I got drawn back in slightly in 8th with the big Sisters release. Got their army box but never really did anything with it. Got the 9th launch box but... didn't do much with it. Then Chaos Knights came out and I actually got back into building and painting fully and now I'm utterly drowning in kits I need to build and paint. Can't wait for 10th this Saturday. My old favorites are finally the star villains of an edition.
One thing of note about retcons... it's kind of neat in 40K because retcons are usually justified in universe by there simply being so much lost and/or inaccurate data about the past. In setting, it isn't that something magically changed, it's that more accurate records of events was uncovered.
Exactly!
could you give me an example of a retcon .
I remember getting in 40k through a random youtube vid, it was the last church audio book which I find myself re reading it multiple time. It was that moment I got into the hobby
It's an amazing book, glad you found it!
What got me into 40k? Easy answer is, this was the game of choice for where I lived in '20/'21. I was already playing BoltAction, so it didn't take much to get me in.
Depuis que je suis petit et que je rend visite à mon oncle, j'ai toujours été en admiration devant ses miniatures, spécialement ses orks. Durant des années je n'ai jamais su le nom même de ce que c'était, mais je les adorais. Je me souvient, à 8 ans, quand je dessinais des Killa kan et des Deff dread au centre de loisir, tout le monde me traitais de "gamin bizarre", mais je n'ai jamais perdu mon amour pour cet univers (dont j'ignorais le nom à l'époque), et spécialement les orks. Ce n'est que bien plus tard (à 14 ans) que je découvris warhammer 40k et que je me suis mis à peindre ma bande de boyz.
Pour moi, 40k est littéralement un de mes souvenirs d'enfance au même titre que porco rosso par exemple, je trouvait juste magique ces petites figurines de toutes formes et de toutes les couleurs, s'affrontant dans des batailles imaginaires sur des tables, ces histoires aux allures mythique sur chaque personnages, et surtout, la pure génialité de l'univers et du lore, de la construction de monde, des personnages, etc...
N'arrête jamais d'être le gamin bizarre, mon ami. Personne de normal n'a jamais réalisé quoi que ce soit de valable.
(Je ne parle pas vraiment Français. Tout cela est Google Translate.)
That's so nice, we started at the same age ha!
I was actually exposed to 40k a couple of times when growing up then forgot. I had a friend who had Dawn of War and told me about it then I forgot. I then met a now ex-friend who reintroduced it to me to it. I bought Dawn of War 1 and its DLCs on steam and played it a bit. I fell in love with the Tau (I still love and play them in DoW) and grew to despise the Necrons (my ex-friend's faction). Got a starter box with the start collecting paint sets you could buy, you know, the ones with the daemon on it painting a miniature model daemon. I built and painted a couple, then stopped. Got back into DoW, discovered the Mechanicus and fell in love. Went into the store to buy more Tau and discovered that Ad Mech had a faction and bought it. From that day onward Warhammer has been part of my life.
That's an amazing story!
straight up astartes by syama peterson got me in cause i watched it and was like "who are these people and whats going on?" so i started researching and now i have 3 full armies
Ha! That's amazing
For those who want to listen to more lore about 40k I highly recommend Baldermort and Voxinthevoid. Amazing channels that does voiceovers and lore videos!
underrated gems
I'll check it out!
One Weshammer lore short about space travel and I was hooked again.
Played chaos when I was a kid in 97 now stuck deciding what space marine army I want to buy. Pretty sold on the Blood Angels though.
Thank you for your great content!
It was Luetin's lore videos.
That's what got me in.
I don't have interest in miniatures at all. All that counts to me is a great lore full of stories and more importantly: possibility for new stories.
RPG campaigns, novels, films and parodies.
This is what 40k is for me. A foundation on which great stories are built.
Luetin is incredible, very much agreed
I have a learning difficulty and i'm dyslexic and I love 40k😢 It really makes me feel happy that there is a It will never die
Man I can remember like yesterday going into my friends parents basement and his dad had the entire basement turned into two massive 8 by 4 gaming tables. Done to the works. Like something you’d see in a white dwarf magazine. Massive 90degree corner desk with lights, magnifying glasses, racks of paints and paint brushesHe displayed his armies on the gaming tables like a massive battle scene. One table had ultramarines vs black legion and the other was blood angels vs orks. Every single model was painted to absolute parade standard also like you’d see in a white dwarf. If we weren’t in Canada he easily could have been a professional painter at the time. I had no idea what I was looking at but my mind was absolutely blown While simultaneously being pulled into another dimension and I desperately wanted to be a part of it. The moment I laid eyes on them bright blue with golden trimmed space army men I had to know more I was immediately hooked his dad was even kind enough to give me one of his incredibly well painted ultramarines that I still have to this very day. I begged my parents to take me to a games workshop though I was in for a rude awakening when I did and seen the prices fully dependent on my parents. I use to dream of these things and would only get something on birthdays and Christmas. My mom bought me my very first box of 5 space marines we went to steadman’s and I got all my shitty bottles of acrylic paints and brushes totally ill prepared for the job and I got to work. They came out like shit but they were mine. My very own space marines and I’ve been absolutely hooked on 40k ever since. The story’s the tales the photos the boards the models it has enthralled me for basically my entire life I’m now a 35 year old man that still reads, listens, paints something to do with 40k every single day and will continue to do so for the rest of my life! We’re so lucky to have 40k!
Amazing story brother! And yes, we are very lucky to have 40k!
For me, it was me as a child seeing my dad play dawn of war 2: retribution multiplayer and I was like, ho, cool big guy (space marine) kill spikey bad guy (chaos marine), the after a few years of dormant passion, I randomly stumbled upon bricky's every faction explained video. I got hooked on it ever since, even all they of creating a fuly designed TTRPG of my own based on warhammer 40k (I didn't know at the time there were already some so i'm still buiding it because it was too late to go back), having the advantage of combining every aspect of lore from the different factions, minor races and weaponry. It is not complete of course, I only started last year. (if anyone is interested in participating i'm all ears, I need playtesters and such)
I randomly go around any place any town and ask people if they know about Warhammer 40k, and the long time fans look at me like I'm the Emperor of mankind who just came to them as an apparition. Of course my natural tan, my fit physique with my black hair helps alot.
I was scrolling through UA-cam trying to find a good sci fi video but I was pretty burnt out on halo and Star Wars and I ended up clicking on a 40k video and the rest is history
nicee, thats the best way honestly
I found out about 40k from a friend in high school. We were talking about star wars (this was around the time it got bought by disney) and he asked me if i heard of 40k then he told me about the lore and down the rabbit hole i went.
Ha! Amazing
I got in because of memes. This sucked me into the rabbit hole that is this franchise. I started with warhammer only a couple of months ago and I can already say that warhammer can be compared to marvel and dc as in term of the number of characters, their development, stories and so on.
The memes slap for sure
@@Dutch40KGuy Yes, some how five memes of this franchise never become not funny #Magnusdidnotingwrong
I see you found the better Angelos model too.
IDK how Midwinter Mini's somehow didnt get mentioned in the hobby space.
I was shocked to find my jaw not rotted away after having it dropped for their enitre video on decoratinf nurgle tanka.
Amazing video homie!
Glad you liked it!
Im so new to the 40k universe. This is an incredible video if anyone who wants to understand it. Thanks mate ❤ cant wait to play some of the games.
40k Gut me few hard times bruv. And that's what I love about it That's why i'm happy that it will never die I hope it wouldn't go
If you ANALize the part with "any other setting show humanity to prospering" the thing is for those who don't know like us is to whe had that golden era gut always it was someone who couldn't keep his pants and hands where they belong when in most of the other settings humanity didn't realy succedet or it fucket it self for some strerotipic over used bitch reason like greed, wanted to play god, wanted some alienussy, couldn't be good enough for the job, etc. And in the worst chase scenario what very probably happend and are too many evidences to don't it happend and happen in owr present.
a orc mec with shock attack gun looked really cool and now i have a 2000 piont eldar army
Hahaha!
40K lore be like: Me human…me must kill aliens…me hate Xeno.
honestly yeah
I remember going to my local library to find someting ro read and my eyes fell upon the book called Xenos of the Heisenorn trilogy...
Dind't take long after that to grab the minis
Heck yes!
The king is back 😫
Yessirski!
For me, it's a simple answer: 'Cuz it's awesome.
Quality video brother!
Appreciate it!
@@Dutch40KGuy Anytime!
As for what got me into the universe, I saw a meme online(An Ultramarines meme, about protecting virginity😂) and I was like WOAH! Those guys look cool! And I decided to google them, and I was like: "Nice, I'll just have a quick read over this, huh, what's a Chaos Space Marine, wait, what's the Horus Heresy?"
Fast-forward 4 hours later, and I'm hooked, that was 5 years ago, and 40k and Warhammer fantasy, has become one of my favorite franchises, if not my favorite. What makes it better is the community who love this setting for what it is, really bloody cool!
thats such a cool story! heck yes brother, glad to have you here :D
Subbed to you as well, gonna check out some of your content, looking amazing so far!
I got into the hobbie from see a copy of white dwarf in WHSmiths years ago its cover had ogres eating people and i picked it up to see how awesome these were I went to my local store and played all 3 games at the time 40k, fantasy and LOTR and iv stil got to this day a certificate for winning all 3 games.
Heck yes!
@@Dutch40KGuy Iv got it laminated too but it's so old the writing on has slowly began to fade.
@@inquisitordalius3388what's the white dwarf magazine number?
@@wraithface4410 So it wasnt ogres eating poeple they just looked gory found my magazines and had to go back to the earliest one and this was it WHITE DWARF N° 129 : WARHAMMER : ROYAUMES OGRES
I will repeat my comment
I started to get interested in this IP for simple reasons, I think the whole Nerd universe I knew and loved (and a lot of people will disagree with me, no problem guys) is dead.
The comics died, Marvel and DC, the superheroes today are unbearable in their live action version.
Video games, Gears of War is dead, Halo is dead
Star Wars and Star Trek, totally dead.
I like anime and manga, but I wanted something more and I'm having fun, and once again very happy to have found your channel.
And double the like👍👍!
Its a very fair point! If I was still invested when halo came around, I wouldve switched over then too
"DO YOU HEAR THE VOICES TOO!!!!!"
HA
To be fair Warhammer 40k has pretty writing also commissar gamza has some good points towards Warhammer 40k when it comes to criticism but I like your video
When you live in Russia and you know what is a warhammer you have feeling hey its like living in imperium of man we even got our own emperor on "Throne"(Lenin)
LMAO true
I like when it's just War everywhere like a lot war. 😊
For me I never get to it but I'm a long time fan and have a lot of fun playing the strategy games for PC and consoles
One thing that makes it special and apart from other scifi or even fantasy is that it is truly hopeless with no clear bright future if there even was one. It's a naked view of what the world could and really is in that the universe id a cruel pitiless thing and we are not special but specs of dust whose scale is utterly meaningless. It gives a perspective in game form that people lack today which makes the bravery of a simple Guardsman standing against a giant Nid he has no hope of living ten seconds against so compelling. It is the spirit of man locked in stoic struggle with the reality of existence. You don't really get these sorts of stories anywhere else nor with characters as human and flawed as the humans of 40k. They are not perfect heroes like Jedi or Spartan 2's but flawed beings which makes them much more relatable than some perfect boy scout. Frankly I think 40k is a much more realistic vision of mankind's future than star trek ever could be. People have forgotten the world is not a safe place with any number of things ready to hurt or kill you mixed with cold fact life is not fair and was never promised to be. To me this is what makes 40k so awesome as at it's core under all the cranked to 11 badassery it's more realistic in how pitiless life can be but we keep marching on.
heck yes!
There are good guys in the 40K. But they are certainly Not the Imperium!
Heh true!!!
@@Dutch40KGuy lol there is one faction that is worse than imperium and that is mechanicus
YEah the mechanicus are quite the special one
for how I got into 40k: I got invited to play in a rogue trader ttrpg campaing and it went from there
Awesome!
We need 40k rpg game like skyrim
Agreed!
warhammer 40k memes drop me into this rabbit hole :O
Heck yes!
A lot of Warhammer 40k reminds me of Dune and hp Lovecraft.
It's definetely inspired by it, dune is absolutely incredible
I still like star wars, halo and other franchises but i must put Warhammer into my favorite sci-fi shows/games/books
Ok look, this is awesome as hell and I'm fully on board with getting into it, I just wanted to say that insulting other sci-fi stuff is not a good way to draw new people to the hobby. Especially things like saying halo isn't original enough and cyberpunk has no lore (ignoring the point that it's a ttrpg). Just tell us about your cool hobby, you don't have to insult the things we love to get us hooked.
Understand that I played competitive Halo and have over 3000 hours in Cyberpunk, I'm just sad they couldn't come to the level they were hyped to be
But thank you for the pointer though, for my next deep dive I'll make sure not to shred other franchises as much haha, I guess that was just a couple years of dissapointment shining through
@@Dutch40KGuy nah you're good honestly. I see your passion for 40k and seeing as the 40k community seems cooler and more thankful I definitely see where you're coming from. Also sorry if the comment seemed aggressive at all, I definitely don't mean it that way.
Definitely looking forward to even more videos on this subject though! As a person who painted a set once as a kid before dropping the hobby cause of how expensive getting more was, I really wanna see what people like so much about 40k. I'm a complete outsider with super baseline knowledge but you all just seem so excited and cool and I wanna join in!
I'd very much suggest watching PancreasNoWork, Weshammer (and if you liked this video) and my unbiased review!
@@Dutch40KGuy hell yeah!! I absolutely will, thank you for the suggestions!
40k universe: anything can be both science and/or pseudoscience
Freaking love it!
@@Dutch40KGuy usually in most other settings, mechanical technology are always science while literal magics are always pseudoscience, but in 40k, both Magic and Technology can be treated as science(in Dark age of Technology) and Pseudoscience(in post-heresy Imperium of Man) equally
the games workshop manager really pulled the first one is free kid
He really did🤣
The memes
Love memes
Warhammer is undeniably epic on every level.
Yessir!
40k is SciFi Lovecraftian Arthurian Mythos
I miss Dawn of war 😢
Same
Halo used to have a distinct art style... Used to.... 😭
I miss it man😭
@@Dutch40KGuy Me too, man
Feel good plastic
Ha true!
@The Gaming Storyteller hope you're doing OK my man. I enjoy your videos
Its been a bit rough, but now looking at what to reupload and slap on this channel again. Gives me some time to prepare a banger new series though!
Just a heads up, Barry Walts got outted as a child groomer, might want to consider editing that recommendation out.
Oh shit I did not know that
@@Dutch40KGuy very sad. So did Stringstorm of Rylanor fame…
Gawd, why can't people just be normal😭
I (used to) love Star Trek, Star Wars (also in the past tense), Stargate, Mass Effect... you know, all the nerd stuff.
But, none of them are 40K.
IRL, I don't call on the Force, or Jesus, or Mohammad... I praise The Emperor.
I don't go to the range, I practice purging heretics.
1 thing I don't like about GW is their shut down of fan animations is just utter bs.
Agreed! But them hiring the astartes guy is a good start at least
there is nothing wrong with gate keeping .

@@Dutch40KGuy i think you dont understand gatekeeping . gatekeeping is just keep to stupid ideas out .without gatekeeping it will change into something its not . and just become another dead ip .

Gatekeeping to a certain extent is always necessary in any Fandom
"Stop right there, criminal scum!"
heh!
It's not _that_ special. It's really just fantasy tropes transplanted into a science-fiction setting: Basically like Star Wars, except much darker, more pessimistic and somehow even sillier. If it stands out, it's because those two franchises are the only ones currently doing this type of thing, while managing to have distinctly different styles of appeal.
Like, I don't really care about the grimdark stuff. _In fact,_ I find it depressing and somewhat disturbing that so many people go along with the whole "fascist religious zealot" thing, even as a joke. I mostly got into WH40k via If The Emperor Had A Text To Speech Device, because at least those guys were laughing _at_ the misery. to be brutally honest, I'm more concerned withwhat I _wouldn't_ assimilate from this particular franchise, as I view it as more bad than good. But, end of that day, all I _really_ want is space knights stabbing alien monsters with swords. Just give me that and I'm happy.
Issue is though, star wars (in my opinion) doesn't even get close to the intensity of information available of 40k. I dont think any other franchise reaches that 1k+ books mark (star wars used to.. but yeah, Extended Universe is no longer a thing)
The dutch accent.... like none other :)
One day it'll be less intense, but for now, all shall suffer👹
@@Dutch40KGuy Misschien zie ik je wel in een Space Marine 2 lobby als ie eindelijk uit is:)
hahaha wie weet! Ik hoop dat het dit keer wat makkelijker is om een lobby te vinden XD
