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

Keep it civil.
No memeposts/shitposts. Memes are great but direct them to grimdank.
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.
No political or social cause agenda pushing.

How did you choose your first army? (lemmy.world)

I like the aesthetic of sm, eldar, drakhari, tau, orks. Gameplay wise I don't know what I will prefer as I've never played a full game or my own list.

So how the hell did you choose your first army?

I was always intrigued when I saw SM models in hobby stores but as a teenager the price just didn't make sense... and I had to paint them?? How was it possible??

Then much later, as an adult with a lot of spare time during COVID, I picked the faction which had a color scheme I liked, checked if I liked the lore, and decided to pick up another hobby in mini painting and paint a few units to make a small band. That small band became a plastic crack addiction with a desire to have a whole army regardless of playability.
