Warhammer got too popular. Popularity attracts woke parasites. Everything woke turns to shit. q.e.d.
I loved Warhammer 40k but when they started to go woke I decided to get over it and started to avoid their stuff. The writing was on the wall and it's best to leave with fond memories than watch something you like get ruined.
Well, there was that. But then there was also when they decided "Hmmm, we have a very active, very energetic fan community, but let's make them all stop! I'm sure that won't have any negative impact on our brand!"
I've been interested in WH40k lore for a while but never got into it. Does anyone know what the last version before the woke infestation was for purposes of reading the codices, novels, etc.?
I'm thinking of an equivalent to D&D 3.5 here - both good in terms of rules/mechanics (compared to 4E) and also free of social justice shit (compared to 5E).
For books, I highly recommend the "Eisenhorn" saga (he is an inquisitor and it mainly focus on the other aspects of 40k, not the ultra turbo giga war) and the Gaunt's Ghosts (some colonel in the imperial guard and how him and his regiment of scout specialized units are getting the short straw & buttfucked by chaos almost every fucking battle they got deployed to), "Prospero must burn" is also really good and...
Fuck it, anything written by Dan Abnett is S tier, period.
I simply ignore everything new, except for the few bitz that i do like, for instance New Newcrons. My headcanon 40k is still stuck in M41.999. Primaris never happened, Cicatrix Maledictum never happened, Abaddon is still bashing his head against the Gate of Cadia and did most certainly NOT waste a Blackstone Fortress etc pp there's too much newfangled garbage to keep track of.

This is why gatekeepers are critical to the long-term health of anything that you like.
In the wise words of Warhammer, since, you know, RIP:
"An open mind is like a fortress with its gates unbarred and unguarded.”

I'm still salty about what they did to "If the Emperor had a Text to Speech Device"
Same. RIP Fabulous Custodes and Lord Adornable.

If you're only interested in the lore, Luetin have a fantastic channel about everything 40k, from weapons to planets to xenos to titans.
