A community dedicated to the universe of Warhammer 40k, a tabletop setting in the far, distant future.
This is a general community for 40k miniatures, art, lore discussion, and gameplay discussion.
Rules
- Keep it civil.
- No memeposts/shitposts. Memes are great but direct them to grimdank.
- Please mark any posts containing realistic nudity or realistic excessive gore/violence as NSFW; this rule mainly applies to cosplay and realistic drawings rather than miniatures. Being that 40k is inherently violent, this is a judgement call, and mods may occasionally request posters add tags.
- No political or social cause agenda pushing.
Helpful Links

- iOS Warhammer 40k App
- Android Warhammer 40k App
- 3rd party site for running Kill Team games

Regarding the lore would I recommend the podcast Adeptus Ridiculous. It is great for newcomers and you will fast get a grip of the overarching themes, stories and what not. Then just pick up a book on the story that you find the best!
For the table top I'd say, unless you want to start directly, look around for the theme of an army that you like the most. And when you have decided on an army buy their combat patrol box. Whatever you do, however, do not just buy what is good or meta right now as that will probably have changed by the time you have finished painting your box. Rules are temporary but looks are forever!
If you want another podcast tips on the hobby and table top side would I recommend the poorhammer podcast. Especially episode 66 which is made for newcomers to the hobby.
Have fun and welcome!
Thank you for you reply! I will check it
Cheers
