I am your average 37-year-old woman. I game, I read, and I have cats. A few weeks ago, I stumbled upon Azariah Kyras' glorious speech about the Blood God Khorne, and I started quoting him at least once every day when my boyfriend and I were talking about random everyday things. He suggested I look into the Warhammer Universe.
My God!
It started out with some lore videos about the Chaos Gods and The Emperor, and down the rabbit hole I went. When I found out they are doing a series with Mr. Handsome Henry, I knew I had to go deeper. It's been three days of almost no sleep, and I've finished the first two books in The Horus Heresy saga. They have no business being as good as they are.
If Warhammer has the power to infect even the most basic, whitest woman of all time, we are all in trouble!"
Pray for me
BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD !!!!
SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!!!!

Thanks!!
To add onto this, if you have zero knowledge of 40k, the Ciaphas Cain books are a great place to start. They aren't about the Horus Heresy, they're about a commisar named Cain, but they do a great job of explaining the universe based on how they're written. Also they're quite funny.
