Warhammer 40k

A community dedicated to the universe of Warhammer 40k, a tabletop setting in the far, distant future.

This is a general community for 40k miniatures, art, lore discussion, and gameplay discussion.

Rules

  1. Keep it civil.
  2. No memeposts/shitposts. Memes are great but direct them to grimdank.
  3. Please mark any posts containing realistic nudity or realistic excessive gore/violence as NSFW; this rule mainly applies to cosplay and realistic drawings rather than miniatures. Being that 40k is inherently violent, this is a judgement call, and mods may occasionally request posters add tags.
  4. No political or social cause agenda pushing.

Great people, easy digestable battle reports, great production quality. They just found a great forlula with their 40 minutes reports.

Not specific to 40K, but Goobertown Hobbies is one of my favourite channels. It’s a mini painting channel, always positive and beginner friendly, with a lot of useful advice regarding painting techniques.

Apart the obvious luetin, valrak and majorkill, I really recommended giving arbitor Ian a try.

For Hobby History, I recommend Arbitor Ian. He's an old grognard like me who has been collecting for decades, and explains some of the interesting changes and old lore of the setting (stuff from as far back as when Space Marines all had "born to kill" type graffiti all over their armour). He also does a "Tale of four gamers" type thing with some other hobbyists, and it feels a bit like those old White Dwarf articles come to life. Lots of nostalgia, but also new lore too.

I'm gonna try and mention ones that I haven't seen other people mention yet ...

Rogue Hobbies is newer and really good, in my opinion. She's a former GW employee who went solo recently and focuses on painting.

Poorhammer as a YouTube channel or a podcast is great, they are fun to listen to and get some basic insights here and there.

Auspex Tactics is a fucking work horse for getting news, reveals, and in-depth analysis. Dude uploads like crazy and is almost always the first I see covering news. His 10e coverage was GOAT-level for the entire lead up to Leviathan's release

PlayonTabletop for battle reports, Poorhammer for just generic 40k entertainment, Luetin and Weshammer for lore, Auspex Tactics for rules updates and news, and Ninjon and Eons of battle have become recent favorites for the hobby aspect along with Midwinter Minis.

Pile all that on with the rest of my interests and my algorithm is having a seizure...

Midwinter Minis does mostly painting videos. A lot of speed painting and beginner-friendly tutorials.

@setsneedtofeed Arbitor Ian has nice clean concise lore videos.
