  I totally have memories of my ancestors being absolute badasses and influencing nearly all of human history. Put me in the machine and I’ll show you the way to the ark of the covenant so you can foolishly open it and melt your face.

  Weirdly it’s exactly how 40k Space Marines work!

    Goddamn that’s so cool. Every single thing I read about Warhammer 40k makes me think that I would absolutely love this shit. It’s just so… daunting. I wouldn’t even know where to start in order to understand the lore.

      Someone recommended First and Only and I kinda second that. Dan Abnett’s books are awesome, and much better than the rest of WH40k literature.

      That said, I’d recommend starting with Eisenhorn. That’s what I did when I was in your shoes.

      I didn’t resist the urge and now I’m many layers deep in reading through this colossal wiki

      The best way I’ve discovered 40k lore beyond hearing from a friend and some meme is Luetin09, which has a great narrator voice, consider his channel a huge audio library of alleged facts and stories.

      Also, I heavily recommend Arbitor Ian as he has both a nice presentation style, and also talks about the meta aspects (like how things evolved in the 40 years of 40K lore changing)

      For the universe start with the “First and Only”, for space marines I recommend “Brothers of the Snake” or “Horus Rising”

        Thanks for the recs… I have noted the titles, and will add them to my ever growing list of books that I will probably never read.
