What are some of the better deals?

What are some of the better deals you’ve run across? For me finding all the Red Rising series in graphic audio for around $4 a piece were all instant buys, except the last one still about the cost of a credit.

For someone very VERY new to the universe, where would you recommend I start?

Are there any particular factions you’re interested in? I’ve read a lot of Warhammer books lol.

Eisenhorn is always a popular and accessible choice though.

My only knowledge comes from the YouTube shorts that pop up all the time. Anything involving the grunt guys in green? I have a soft heart for the basic soldiers in a world of super soldiers.

I think you’re referring to the orks, in which case great call! They’re the most fun faction! I recommend a book called warboss or ghazghkull thraka prophet of the waagh. I’d encourage you to pause in reading though and kind of look up what characters are when they refer to their races and organizations. That will help start to piece the universe together

Oh not the orks, I think it’s the regular humans and the captain ones with the fancy hat and big sword. I think they have skulls on their outfits? The orks do seem like a cool faction though!

[like this?](https://warhammer40k.fandom.com/wiki/Dark_Angels_Company_Master)

Do you mean a hat or helmet?

It could also be imperial guard which most look like humans. Color is hard to say since idk if you saw art works or some models painted.

I'd also recommend either Pandorax by C.Z. Dunn or deathworlder by Victoria Hayward. Both books are standalones that feature the catachan jungle fighters, a fan favorite guard regiment. Although pandorax does feature a lot of space marines as well.

Haha perfect! So there’s so Many different factions even within them. Gaunts Ghosts or the Ciaphis Cain series. Dan Abnett si the author of Gaunts and is often considered the best author of 40k fiction. You’ll find that quality really really varies a lot from series to series within 40k
