Hello all. I have been lurking 40k subreddits and now here on Lemmy for quiet some times. I want to get into 40k universe and I need your help. Where to start? I love books. Which would you recommend to read first? Where to start in games?
All help is appreciated!
I liked the Ciaphas Cane books. They are sort of comedic which fits the very ironic world of 40k nicely from my pov. It’s mostly about the imperial guard, but you learn about ca. 2 other Xeno factions in every book.
Gaunts Ghosts is also nice, but very centred at the Imperial Guard, military and (fictional) tactics and good leadership.
The first three books (and also others) of the Horus Heresy are amazing at showing more irony of 40k and very captivating. Though they are mostly about space marines and their chapters.
