There's been so much Warhammer on here lately.

I'm starting to think I should unbox my Iron Warriors. =/

What Twilight doesn't realize is that Luna and Celestia were in regular contact with the God-Emperor for a long time. He went silent suddenly, about ten thousand years ago, and they've been wondering why.

(is totally currently working on a MLP/40k story)

Someone fill me in. What the devil is War Hammer? Are there some good books? What are they? I'm very curious about this universe, but I don't know where to start. I'm not really interested in the game but the art looks fucking amazing.

@#541237:
Warhammer is a turn-based strategy game that with models that players to battle each other.

It's hard to really follow the Warhammer universe as a whole. Usually people follow the stories of the army they choose to fight with on the tabletop. Often you pick up the other tales as you delve deeper into an army's history.

That's not to say you can't read the stories though. The books usually have a glossary of the common terms used in-universe. Most of the backstories tend to be considered given knowledge with newer novels, so I'd start with some of the older books. I can't really recommend a story to start with, but there's a few forums that'll help you out.

The artwork is a bit more fiddly. Each army has it's own art in the respective army books (known as a codex). Fortunately, all of it's online if you're prepared to search for it.

A lot of people start with Space Marines (or more specifically the sub-unit, the Ultramarines). Their stories crossover with everyone else at some point, plus they're the default human characters of the universe. The Chaos Space Marines are the evil counterparts of them. The artwork associated with them is a bit... darker.

After that, you get the Orks, Tau, Eldar and so on. All of them intermingle.

I hope that helps!

I found one today at my local everything market. It's called The Grey Knights Omnibus by Ben Counter. I can't wait to get started.

Somehow, I'm not surprised at all.
