I've never had anything related to WH40K.

I've never played a game in the WH40K universe.

I have watched a 30 hour video series on The God Emperor.

Other 8-20 hour videos explaining the basic lore on each faction.

And two video series that are probably 50+ hours, about the history of the WH40K universe overall.

And apparently, I have still only scratched the surface.

Do I have any intention of playing WH40K games or buying anything related to it?

Nope, none what so ever.

Am I likely to watch any more content related to WH40K?

Yes, in fact, I have about 500 hours worth of videos in a playlist to watch later.

40k lore is awesome because it's completely ridiculous in so many ways, but at the same time completely realistic in many other ways.

There's so much for WH40K!

I tried to dip my toe into it, but got overwhelmed about where to start.

One reason I avoid WH40K is I'm scared I'll fall into a black hole of fandom and never be seen again.

That would be me. Give me a month of it, and I'll be up at one of those game shops painting minis every weekend.

That sounds nice though. Expensive but nice.

Share??? I've also got no interest in playing but want to explore the lore :D

Not the person you asked the question but my recomendation for 40K lore is Luetin09 on YouTube.

There's a soothing quality to his voice when narrating the horrors of the grim future that is very pleasant to hear.

I really fucking hope Henry Cavill gets to make the WH40K series and the right way.

Any specific recommendations? I've played a few video games, but would love to explore a bit deeper

Start with Bricky's "Every faction explained" video and then check out Luetin09's channel for more in-depth stuff.
