My Life In Fandom: The Goofus & Gallent Of 40K Lore

You watched and loved Astartes and you want more. Warhammer 40K has plenty of folks on YouTube talking about it. For lore, however, two consistently deliver for me.

Luetin09 sets the gold standard for 40K lore. If you love the work Black Pants Legion does with BattleTech, you'll appreciate Luetin's work on 40K. Fantastic stuff, damn near AMSR level of radio voice, and he commands a library of 40K art to go with it that just plain owns. You'll not go wrong just binging his 40K lore videos, which you can do here.

And then there's the Aussie, Majorkill.

Majorkill is when you want solid lore stripped of pretension and deliver with irreverence sufficient to get the Inquisition on your ass. He does Warhammer Fantasy too. He is, as one might expect, the Goofus here and he's damned good at it. Solid laugh factor, and if it's enough to get on Ego Queen Alexis' shitlist that's an endorsement. Majorkill's got a video on 40K lore channels, which is worth a watch in own right; funny and useful.

And yes, there are others- not just Arch doing 40K when he's not shitting on Games Workshop, being smeared as a racist (LOL), or doing streams/videos on other stuff (incl. Fantasy). But, if you're just getting into the lore side of 40K these two will do for getting started.
