As a 40k fan I'm glad it happened. He'll be the angry nerd keeping all the writers(on the 40k show/shows) from trying to completely change all the lore just because reasons.

I’ve never played 40k but I am absolutely fascinated with the lore. I’ve been watching a ton of videos on YouTube about it all.

Dude.

If they get this thing rolling the way it can roll… wheeeew… There is so much content available. At least as far as I can tell by these lore videos that spend a whole hour just explaining the background. It seems like there so much out there and so many potential stories to tell

*Also I really enjoyed the Secret Level stuff - that’s kinda what got me to look it up on YouTube in the first place.

Side note - as a 40k fan do you have any recommendations on how to get into the books? Like where to start and all that. When I google it I’m not really that happy with the articles I find (they all seem like they’re AI generated, honestly)

A good starting point for the books (as you say you've got a little background lore) I'd recommend "the infinite and the divine" and the night lords omnibus. Mechanics and The Fall of Cadia are also very good

I'd hold of on Infinite and the Divine for a little bit. A lot of proper nouns and timeline jumps that are difficult to follow on audiobook at least (the only time i can "read"). But a fantastic book though
