The Horus Heresy.
I haven’t googled it yet, but it sounds interesting. would you mind elaborating please?
If I wasn’t busy forklifting for the next few hours, I’d do a super long write-up, but it’s the story of how the Emperor of Mankind’s favored son betrayed him and forever divided the galaxy into loyalists and traitors, creating what is now known as the Warhammer 40K universe. I’d recommend giving it a Google and/or watching some lore videos on YouTube. And… definitely reading the novels “Horus Rising”, “False Gods” and “Galaxy in Flames”. Only about 1300 pages or so total. Definitely worth it!
I asked my buddy who paints those minis a little about it and holy shit. what a can of worms! interesting stuff, thank you for sharing!
You have made a grave mistake friend. Brace youself for hours upon hours of lore about plastic miniatures.
you aren’t kidding! friend of mine paints those minis and he was going on and on about it when I asked. what have I done?! 😂
Oh heck yeah!
I started getting into Warhammer 40k lore at the end of 2022. I only started doing so, because I kept hearing online about the sure tapestry of unparalleled mythos that 40k beholds. I checked out a dozen or so videos from all sorts of 40k lore people, but above all, I fell deeply in love with the animated series works that YT Janovich has produced. He does a hell of a lot of lore reading/combing and script writing to produce his videos. That really gives his videos a lot of production quality imo.
I’d love to hear any recommendations for a few of your favorite 40k lore YT channels. Especially 40k animated series.
I haven’t actually watched many lore videos on YouTube, but I hear Luetin09 is supposed to be one of the best. I’ve been looking for animated series though, as I think 40K would be a very good fit for that format. I’ll check out Janovich right away! Warhammer TV also isn’t available in my country, but it seems most of the content is the fan-made stuff on YouTube anyway.
I’ll give Leutin09 another look. I mostly stuck to their origins/timeline videos to better understand what the heck has happened in the WH 40k universe.
