Noob inbound.

I really want to get into the 40k universe... I know the basic lore and it sounds awesome. Any recommended jumping off point(s)? ;D

If you do not have any purcahsed Codex's, (Cost 100 or less USD, 800 here) I would recommend studying it here http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Main_Page#.UQttVR13ZRo
Cool, danke! ;D

While I've been tempted at times to get some of the miniatures, I was put off by the cost and the fact that I don't know anyone to play with (that, and I have a crap ton of Napoleonics I need to paint first... ::)). However, I love everything sci-fi, so I knew I had to at least give the lore a shot. :D

Me & EpicRules did some hilarious editing of famous Monty Python lines.

Brace yourself for poorly prepared material, and cheesy jokes!
Yeah, on second thought let's not go to the Kaurava system, tis a silly place.

Your father was a heretic, and your mother smelt of Eldarfairies.

I fire my lasgun in your general direction

We're Guards of the Imperium, we drill whene'er we're able. We kill Hive Fleets and Space Marines with discipline impec-cable, we dine well here in Krieg....

What makes you think she's a wytch? She turned me into an Ogryn! ....  An Ogryn? .......... I got better.

Been reading lore for the last two hours. 13th Black Crusade, information regarding all manifestations of chaos, and Chaos Engines, aswell as various gifts given to devout followers of the given Chaos God. That and Daemon weapons. Horus' Claw sounds powerful. Fall of the Eldar interests me though - That became the center of Chaos. Was that just a physical manifestation of the warp, or did the other Chaos Gods just not exist in any realm prior to the Fall of the Eldar?

Anyone have anywhere better to read up on each Chaos God's birth rather than the Lexicanum? After reading about Slaanesh's birth I'm rather interested to see how the others were birthed.

Damn Eldar and they're personal problems. Making a huge explosion killing trillions of themselves. :(


EDIT: I feel as if I worded that terribly. Let me give a TL;DR explaination.

Anyone have a website depicting the origins of the Chaos gods?

How can a Human of Terra grow up without learning 40k as the base of Human logic.....

Wow, Volscani Cataphracts, how disgusting. :(

After reading about their betrayal, it sickens me to see how the attack on Cadia went following. Thank the God Emperor for the Eldar's aid!

Good Game. But it makes Imperial Guardsmen seem extremely weak and fragile.

Anything on the origins of the Chaos Gods? Anything?

Also, so far we've seen Fire Warrior, and Space Marine. It's time to play the average joe. I WANT A WARHAMMER 40K: IMPERIAL GUARDSMAN GAME!

If we get it, we must be able to drive a baneblade in a mission!

And about the origins, I am not good at that so you could always try 40kwiki instead of Lexicanum.

Been there, done that. Nothing on the origins.
Nurgle seems to have something to do with The War in Heaven of the Eldar, judging by having Isha in captivity.

Baneblades have so many operators, that would just be silly. :(
I'd prefer to be a gunner in a Kronus Pattern Chimera, anyway.

Imperial Guardsmen fight to clear the underhive of Ork forces.

This is a commission, it took me about eight hours overall in PS CS1.
