The Horus Heresy story line is a good start. Be warned there are about 40+ books in this series. For the miniatures this is a good start. But if you can help it, dont order direct from GW. There are few dealers offering 15% off. IM if you want me to send you a few dealers I've used. |

Is there any explanation in the 40K world for why they use chain-swords, hammers, claws, etc over bolters? Some armor stops bolts? Or just the cool factor?

So I think I got my resin printer dialed in. The previous issue was the resin I was using. It was a water washable variant and it was just not cutting it for me. I got standard resin and the detail quality was much better. Here's some Red Hunters shoulder pads. They're too big but I'll resize them on another print after the Exorcist shoulder pads finish.

https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2021/05/unsolved-mysteries-of-the-warhammer-40k-universe-with-loremaster-dan-abnett/
- ThlintoRatscar. Is there room for hope in the grim dark future of Warhammer 40,000? - I do hope not because then it won't be the 40k universe anymore. I think the reason that Warhammer 40k is so distinctive is because it is incomparably bleak. We bandy around the word grim dark and all that kind of stuff but it is, it is just, it's an awful, awful place. It has that unique distinction with just about every other fictional, science fictional universe that you can think of. There are always places that you'd love to go and visit. You'd love to go and spend some time in, I don't know, the Star Trek universe or travel with Dr. Who or whatever it is because there are attractive places where you think there might be adventure, there might be danger, but they're also wonderful. Warhammer stands alone as being the place where you would not even want to visit for five minutes because it's so atrociously awful. And I love the fact that the fans have embraced 40k because it literally is the darkest possible timeline. And I think the 40k universe was almost a reaction to fascist Britain and the problems we were having there. It was like, let's take that and make it even worse. It is an object lesson in how things can go disastrously wrong, and you wouldn't want to have anything to do with it. Having said that, there isn't room for hope with a capital H but there is definitely a necessarily room for hope with a small H on the short-term at the human level because otherwise, what we're creating in this fiction would be unbearably depressing, I think. That's .... a thing. |
