do you have any advice of where to start reading wh40k? I played rogue trader and really enjoyed it, but there are so many books and tbh i don't trust the taste of reddit dudes

In my opinion, there is a very clean selection of starting/beginner choices for people wanting to get into 40k.

First, very simply, stay away from the Horus Heresy series unless you specifically want to know about the Horus Heresy. It's over 50 books long and prone to being disjointed. Moving on! (Recs under the cut)

My toxic trait is that I think I could probably take down a custodes with a suicide bomb. Which is probably false.

I mean, with the right kind of bomb

I truly and wholeheartedly believe that Vulkan wants you to put your mental and physical health first. Fealty to the Lord of Drakes can be little things, like whispering "unto the Anvil of War" before bed or making a cup of recaff in honour of him.

cumsona asked:

which faction in TW40k are you the most excited to play as? including all of the inevitable dlc factions. i think mine gotta be custodes. i dont even like custodes in lore or on the tabletop very much but the idea of like 5 dudes fighting against a horde of tyranids is very appealing

Avatar

Necrons, Tyranids, Custodes, in that order. If Knights somehow end up a thing, then Knights next.

Read Hive by Dan Abnett per your recommendation. I can't believe tyranids are homophobic and would kill the lesbians. We should really burn the xenos.

Good book. Any other wh books that make characters suffer greatly and ultimately for nothing? I think it's one of my favourite genres after I read Dead Men Walking. Put my common imperial in a pear wiggler.

Thank you

Glad you liked it! Though, to be fair, I don't think a Tyranid knows what a lesbian is. The Swarmlord does, but that's unrelated.

Your stance on Slaanesh is legitimate the reason I followed you. It's just really tiring how singleminded people are about the sex thing. (I blame GW at least partially for that tbf, I think they need to work a lot harder on decoupling sexual pleasure from Slaanesh. But mostly it's really just an expression of our increasingly puritan culture that equates sex and pleasure itself with moral degradation.)

... anyway, quickly, a funny, um... top three plans to keep the Emperor in the chair, wrong answers only.

Oh, well, thank you. I'm extremely critical of the whole "sexual expression/non-conformity is linked to chaos" thing because it's a harmful by-product of a bygone era that, as you said, currently feeds into the bizarre puritanism that's been cropping up. I also think it's the least interesting part of Slaanesh, and fundamentally impedes the narrative and aesthetic space that the god occupies.

The idea of the Emperor getting to his current state via Horus’s terrible gender affirming surgery is hilarious

He may have been a primarch, yes, but he was not a trained surgeon. Also the Talon is not terribly precise, though it IS sharp!

Are there heretic Mechanicus that worship Slaanesh? I feel like the whole "flesh is weak" and "pleasure of the flesh" things kinda contradict each other

Avatar

Slaanesh is, as I have reiterated many times, not simply about "pleasure of the flesh". Slaanesh is, focally, a god of excess and perfectionism as well as pleasure. Yes, Slaanesh can and does intersect with the ideals of the Mechanicus. Yes, it can result in fleshy daemon engines and such, but it can also result in the obsessive and corruptive pursuit of being a machine to the exclusion of all else and the destruction of your own humanity.

If you want a really candid (and cool) example of this, I highly recommend David Guymer's Iron Hands novels (Eye of Medusa is the first) which shows off what happens when Slaaneshi corruption preys upon the machine-fanaticism of the Iron Hands, the Mechanicus and the relationship between the two.
