A couple years back an old friend passed away. We hadn’t talked in a few years, but we’re like brothers once upon a time. The last time we spoke he was twitch streaming while painting Warhammer minis. I knew nothing about 40k but when I heard he passed I began to consume lore videos and novels as a way to process. I flip flop daily on my favorite faction or novels. But the singular constant is my connection to an old friend.

I’d like to ask Lemmy, what got you into 40k, and how does it relate to your real life?

    My parents would always buy my an ornament related to my interests for Christmas. I was really into LoTR and my mom couldn’t find an ornament so she decided to make one herself. She purchased a metal Nazgul on horse from GW. I was enthralled by the miniature, and my wargaming hobby was started.
