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!

    Adding a comment here as I’m in the same boat. Played some Warhammer games over the years and I love the WH universe but I’m honestly not grasping the greater story.

      @Xenxs @Cotillion189 for a long time the setting was static. But a few years ago they released Dark Imperium, which advanced the storyline and modernized/codified some concepts, notably the Primaris space marines. Leviathan is the most recent release, and updates the overall narrative again. That could be a good start if you want to catch up on what’s current. Disclaimer: I’ve yet to read it
