Quick correction. The warp was turned from a calm reflection of reality into hell not by the modern galaxy but the war in heaven which took place at some starting point up to around 68 million years ago. The Aeldari certaintly did not help the warp by birthing Slaanesh but the vast damage done to the warp was done by a conflict so vast it makes the modern fighting look like a water gun fight.
"And the eldar said, ‘Fuck it.’ Literally. And they repopulated the entire galaxy, and fucked so much that they broke their reproductive process, and birthed Slannesh sometime around the year 30,000
I don’t actually play, but I talk to the WH40K guys at my local hobby shop. I think the most expensive army I’ve encountered ran in the neighborhood of $1500. Apparently some single models can get upwards of $800+
Just to warn you there is a lot of lore and it’s changed and been retconned over the last 40 years. That leads to some odd stuff like Leman Russ having a tank named after him.
It’s also had some major tone shifts from silly (Inquisitor Obiwan Sherlock Cluseau ) to so Grim Dark it becomes Grim Derp. It’s in a sort of midpoint now.
So look into what you find interesting and if you don’t like it switch sources or topic. Expect things to be contradictory depending on when it was written.
Here is a good but silly video background to the origin of the orks. It’s still mostly accurate. In 30k the Emperor got hurt and was put on a life support chair. He’s been there for 10k years unable to communicate.
Premise of this series is they install a text to speech device and now big E can communicate. So they update him on the state of the Imperium and he fills in all the missing history. It’s a fan video and noncannon but lore accurate for when it was made.
If you want a more serious tone for your lore dump try luetin09 or oculus imperialis. They are to dry for me but pretty good content.
Also WAAGH is the ork war cry and WAAGH energy is the reality bending field that makes the orks group think real. So red things go faster because red is the fastest color.

Yooo, I love everything about that! Where do I sign away my free time?

“WAAAAAAAAAGGH!” is what the 10-foot monster yells while charging at you.

Like Risk? I can’t even get anyone to ever play that with me.

Eyyy, I’ve read this before!
This does seem pretty super cool.
It’s also a great way to sign away all your money too!
Fortunately I’m getting a promotion that’ll let me pay my monthly rent the times every week and still have a hundo for avocado toast left over!
Might not be enough…
Oof.
How much should it cost to hit the ground running?
No idea. I steer clear of the game out of self-preservation. I did read dozens of novels though, a lot of them twice, so the time investment is there.
Sounds like how most of the fun I have with Eve is in my head while not playing it.
o7 Fly Safe!
A quick search looks like between $100-$200 for most starter sets. Custodes are kinda expensive, as are most of the named heroes.
Oh that’s not bad.

I got started by reading all the books by Dan Abnett. Eisenhorn is amazing (though there are no Orks, sadly).
