Warhammer 40,000 Fan Media
Warhammer 40,000 - Often simply abbreviated to "40K" - has inspired a lot of great fan-created material. If you're unfamiliar with 40K, I'll start with a brief intro.

# A Brief Intro

[Games Workshop](www.gamesworkshop.com) is a British games company specializing in tabletop battle games using plastic miniatures. Their first big game was a fantasy-inspired war game called Warhammer. After a few years, they created a science fiction universe based on their fantasy game races called "Warhammer 40,000." 

40K is now likely headed toward a new 8th edition rules set. The story has coalesced from "generic sci-fi and fantasy mashup" into a massive universe with a background lore (AKA "fluff") that dwarfs better-known sci-fi franchises. There are books galore, video games, films, and more on top of seven editions of core rulebooks and numerous faction rulebooks for each edition.

Fans of the franchise have taken this massive universe and had fun with it, creating their own stories within its framework, speculating about events beyond the official story line "present day," or just poking fun at the game itself.

# Turn Signals on a Land Raider

[TSOALR](http://tsoalr.com/) is a webcomic created by a gamer who pokes fun at game tropes, gamers, and the fluff behind the game through the eyes of self-aware sentient game miniatures. It ran from 2003-2010. Images below are the first few comics in the series, and link to the page where they appear.

# The Adventures of the All Guardsmen Party

[The Adventures of the All Guardsmen Party](http://www.theallguardsmenparty.com/) is is an episodic tale of a [Dark Heresy](https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/products/dark-heresy/) role-playing game in the Warhammer 40,00 universe where instead of playing as powerful super-soldiers, rogue traders, and agents of the Inquisition, all players are lowly infantry in a world full of superhuman genetically-engineered soldiers, psychic lunatics able to tear people apart with their minds, literal demons, and worse.

The story begins with a prologue series of [Only War](https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/products/only-war/) games in which an army is ground down to a platoon through brutal attrition warfare. The soldiers are then "recruited" as expendable assets for that shadowy organization and "disappeared" from all official records, listed as KIA.

Upon recruitment, these survivors are sent out as squads to support the agents of the Inquisition who need some muscle as they investigate alien plots, demonic subterfuge, and other threats to the Imperium of Man. It's great!

# If the Emperor had a Text-to-Speech Device

First up: ***LANGUAGE WARNING.*** If you dislike vulgarity and profanity, this is ***NOT*** the video series for you. You have been warned.

OK, with that out of the way, a synopsis: The Emperor of Mankind, after 10,000 years in stasis on the Golden Throne as a desiccated corpse on the edge of death, finally gets a text-to-speech plugin allowing him to communicate with others. Hilarity ensues.

# Orks

[**ORKS IZ DA BEST!!! *WAAAAGH!!!***](https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Ork)

Orks are one of the oldest army factions in the game, and their bloodthirsty rampage constitutes the "comic relief" in the [grimdark](https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Grimdark) universe of Warhammer 40,000. As such, they are an inspiration for all kinds of fan projects. Their instinctive habits of plundering, salvaging and building insane devices encourages all kinds of custom vehicles, too.

[Just do a Google image search for "Ork kustom build."](https://www.google.com/search?q=ork+kustom+build&espv=2&biw=1024&bih=1141&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwii0NioqZ_SAhUBDGMKHX07AS0Q_AUIBigB) The conversions and scratch-builds are endless. If you like making a truly unique army, Orks are the best option by far.

Genestealers and Chaos offer good conversion and scratch-build opportunities. But not like Orks.

That's because Orks can make technology out of chewing gum and empty cat food cans.
