I have never played a single game or read a thing or watched a thing. The ads I have seen here or there have never interested me.

But lately it seems there are Warhammer games all over the freaking place.

Can you explain to me in a paragraph what the setting is? Can you explain in maybe a second paragraph what is the big deal?

Thank you,

Old Geezer

Count me in on his query. All I know is I've avoided it because it looks intimidating as hell.

FOR THE EMPEROR!

That is all.

Space marines. Demon gods. Aliens. A crippled psychic all-powerful emperor of mankind. Blood, fundamentalism, blood, xenophobia, blood, totalitarianism, blood, mankind supremacy, blood, fun.

Kill, kill, kill.
Oh, and kill, of course!!! That`s all.

Purging the unclean with flamethrowers or ordering orbital strikes when you really, really mess things up with the flamethrower.

I think we covered it here, more or less. I don't really know much about 40.000, never cared much for it, but as far as I can tell it's pretty much like the fantasy stuff, just with all the medieval and magic stuff replaced with sci-fi.

I guess the appeal is sort of "what if we could have EVERYTHING": sci-fi, orcs, elder gods, jetpacks, starships, swords, space marines, elves, and every sci-fi and fantasy book that blew your mind when you were 14 in one setting.

IN THE GRIM DARKNESS OF THE FAR FUTURE THERE IS ONLY WAR

Kind of hard to explain, it's just an iconic sci-fi setting like star wars.

Its about hanging people with their own intestines.

It's still magic, pretty much. Even the technology is being dealt with like something arcane, especially the really advanced stuff from humanity's past. Yes, past technology is more advanced in 40K. Oh, like poetry night. then.

It's a dark universe in which there's over a dozen races/factions (most of which are not human), all of which are at war with each other with almost no allies. No side has the strength to defeat the other, so the war is eternal. I guess if you've read 1984 the concept is similar to the war in that story.

The power of Chaos consumes me! It is a good pain!
For Khorne!
