A community dedicated to the universe of Warhammer 40k, a tabletop setting in the far, distant future.

This is a general community for 40k miniatures, art, lore discussion, and gameplay discussion.

Rules

  1. Keep it civil.
  2. No memeposts/shitposts. Memes are great but direct them to grimdank.
  3. Please mark any posts containing realistic nudity or realistic excessive gore/violence as NSFW; this rule mainly applies to cosplay and realistic drawings rather than miniatures. Being that 40k is inherently violent, this is a judgement call, and mods may occasionally request posters add tags.
  4. No political or social cause agenda pushing.

I love making lore for my own armies, and hearing about the original lore people put into theirs.

Well, my Orks main fluff is that they're a grouping together of disparate clans as brought under the boot of Ghazghkull Thraka.

My Aeldari are painted in autumn colors and markings as one big "fall of the Eldar" pun.

I have a group of T'au who are scouts and fighters on a fringe, with some scrappy resources and having to have merged units together from Auxilliaries. Galg (and an unnamed plant based species) take on the role of Stealth Suits, Demiurg and Gue'vesa make up half the pathfinders, but of course it's homeworld original T'au Sept T'au in charge.

Then there are these groups of bare ceramite clad warriors whose special doctrines involve obfuscating their leaders (by not marking them out with any special colors like other chapters would their Sgts) and quick adaptive weapon swaps in battle. Their homeworld is Planus Noctis which is renowned for its stretches of featureless landscapes.

I really dig those auxiliary troops.
