uh question for those who are familiar with warhammer 4Ok, how the f do you get into the lore, do i need to read all four hundred novels? please give me recommendations on how to approach this franchise properly (edited)
There are several ways to approach it The most clear cut way is to read stuff like the wiki and read the books, however the wiki is difficult because you don't know what you're looking for and the books aren't very concise because of the dates at which they are published (stuff written around 3rd and 4th edition, like Gaunts Ghosts, might have vastly different standards and depictions of Space Marine capabilities, than say Fall of Cadia which is several editions later) and because later entries will lack a lot of exposition that they assume you as the reader just know. There are a lot of podcasts or series, both on YouTube and Spotify that explain typically one topic per episode. Series divided into 10 minute episodes usually only dabble in the topics on a very very surface level, whereas stuff between 1-3 hours can range anywhere between a complimentary introduction along with reading other material or a full explanation. There are some niche channels that go more in depth about specific events (like Janovich's Horus Heresy video) and then there are also channels that attempt a more casual, pop culture overview of specific topics like Adeptus Ridiculous.
