The Owlcat game is pretty cool

Get some other nerd on YouTube to read it out so you can be a nerd with different stuff.

My method was to play Warhammer: Total War with a friend who knew all of the lore and constantly ask him stuff about the armies we were fighting.

As a person who’s not into the table top games, but loves the lore.

I watch/listen to a few channels:

WesHammer - www.youtube.com/channel/UCSDj6ttwzj2sr464jDdg_pA

He does a short introduction (on camera), then the rest is audio with relevant artwork and some video from the games.

Aside from the usual deep’dives into the various factions and popular characters, I enjoy his Grim Dark Story Hour vids. These focus on creepy (horror) short stories from random Warhammer books, where Wes does some voice acting as well.

Warhammer lore (and game lore). It’s meant to be for helping people get to sleep. But I listen to it during the day. If you do use it for sleep, watch out for the super loud Youtube ads that play in the middle, if you don’t have Premium or use Peertube.

There are a lot of other Youtubers that do good content as well, like Arbitor Ian etc.

The top two are my recommendations.

Warhammer lore content made simple. My videos designed to be fun and engaging for veterans and newcomers alike as 40k can be pretty daunting and dense. I break the big complicated stuff down into simple easy to understand videos and do my best to make learning about the grim dark fun! I am a massive 40k nerd and have been deeply engrossed in this universe for almost 20 years.

For 40k, I've been watching a lot of bricky (also does non warhammer stuff so I've linked a specific video) and krakduk. (does the annoying youtuber voice, if that gets on your nerves it might not be the channel for you)

There is also the lexicanum for everything 40k, old fantasy, and age of sigmar.

Also if you want to watch funny series with a disappointment of an ending (FUCK YOU GW) Warhammer TTS is a good place to start. Though some warning the team that did that are now doing a series based on World of Darkness set in North Norfolk England, they also have a Mage campaign set in the same setting but it takes place in Norfolk Virginia.

Read just the novels by Dan Abnett. All he writes is solid gold. The quality of the rest is wildly uneven.

I would recommend The All Guardsman Party as a pick up along the way experience. For lore summary and criticism see 1d6chan’s wiki for traditional games.
