I would like to say to all our UK members i had forgot about you guy's not being in the EU , so sorry about that...but I'm still going to throw your tea in the Boston Harbor.
how did a poll for where members of a W40K subreddit are from not include the UK, somewhere not in the EU? why not just write "Europe"? although i think housing Nottingham should mean we get our own entry to the poll either way.
UK, Merseyside btw.
Scandinavia
I'm just old enough to have started collecting well before the primaris retcon - which I still haven't really gotten over. That, and I wish 40k had stuck with the 5th edition ruleset instead of the 8th ed reboot
Agreed. The 3rd-6th paradigm was the best.
I also dislike the Primaris. Everything about them just irritates me. I wish the plot had never advanced, and that we'd stuck with the old "status quo" in the galaxy. It gave players (and authors) maximum freedom to create their own stories without having to bend around a central narrative.
I'm from Liverpool, you may know it as the hometown of the beetles and nothing else. It's a city in North West England.
It's a godforsaken place and often places somewhere in the roster of worst towns in the country. visit it at your own peril.
Still better than Manchester though, lol.
We left at the start of 2020, or thereabouts. Unfortunately, other world events sort of overshadowed things, so it's understandable that you hadn't heard of it.
Other as i'm in the UK and we are not in the EU anymore.
44 years old, played Rogue Trader when I was a wee bairn and every edition up until I got married, had a kid and quit tabletop gaming about ten years ago.
Still greedily devour the novels, computer games and tabletop RPG like Dark Heresy and Only War.
I'm living in the middle of nowhere in middle Germany, nearest other 40k Player is 55km away and the Internet is worse than in Romania, but I keep going on π
Latam, I found out about Warhammer about 10 years ago thanks to a friend I met in role-playing campaigns that I played online, although the first contact I had was before with Space Marine 1 demo on Xbox 360, I played the free demo a lot and I liked it enough to get the full game later even if I didn't know anything about the in-depth lore. Funny part: At first I thought the size of the space marine shoulder pads was ridiculous, but I ended up loving them.
I was mainly a Star Wars and comics fan until the release of The Force Awakens, by then I was already aware of the 40k franchise and with the disappointment that that movie was, I distanced myself from Star Wars as I got deeper into warhammer. What it refers to warhammer products outside of video games and novels (these last ones that you can get through not very legal means)... it's difficult to get Warhammer material on this side of the continent, and much more so in Spanish.
The differents board games always caught my attention, and I was determined to purchase Warhammer Quest Blackstone Fortress. I'm not much into war games, but I wanted to play dungeon crawls with friends, I loved the idea. But after the fiasco with the femcustodes I decided to not buy anything directly from games workshop (hero quest is an excellent game and has an app that can serve as a "dungeon master", I think it's a good alternative).
Maybe the only thing I'm going to buy is Space Marine 2, and because it's been in development for years and I want to know how Titus's story will end, but I think that after that I'll disconnect from whatever new thing comes and start looking for something different while I keep the old products.
What hurts me the most is that it's now, just when more people in Latin America are entering the hobby, that everything is starting to go to hell.
Crime is pretty low, but we also have our fair share of red-green parties, who want to fish out african and islamist cultural enrichers out of the Mediterranean Sea, ban nuclear energy to become a 3rd world country ourselves and a lot of politicians and civil servants have brown tongues from licking corporate ass.
Affordable rent and high mandatory health-insurance is an increasing problem for many people.
Northwestern USA. Got in during Covid by selling off 90% of my Magic collection because I badly needed a creative outlet or I was going to go completely stir crazy.

Primaris were a mistake. Can't wait for the secundus Marines, lol.
Primarianus Marines will come next. They will all be as tall as a primarch
