why /vt/?

What the fuck is the appeal of reading this slop? Do you have to be brain damaged to be a 40kid or a genre fiction babby in general?
The Horus Heresy series has 25,000 pages. For all the time you spend reading 25,000 pages you could read all the great works of the western canon and more.
>b-but the classics aren't exciting
They are. Ivanhoe, the Three Musketeers, Treasure Island, Orlando Furioso, the Faerie Queene, Robinson Crusoe, etc are all exciting, action packed works of literature that will stimulate you intellectually in a way no warhammer novel ever can.
>but i like reading fantasy/sci fi
Why not read the best of the genre instead of slop? Why not read all the shit warhammer ripped off (Lovecraft, Conan, Starship Troopers, Elric, etc) than reading manchild baby shit?

Not sure if you’re ragebaiting but some of the Halo novels are unironically good scifi. Greg Bear was an established scifi author whose Forerunner books (the ones in OP’s pic) are honestly pretty good.
Why don’t you stop being so close minded and try out new things, anon?

Redpill me on Warhammer.
Is it worth it to get into? Or is too much of an autistic rabbit hole? I get the feeling that it is very, very autistic. Even less so than something like Sonic or Pokemon.
If it is worth it, what is the best path to do so?

It started as a black comedy satire of a lot scifi and contemporary politics back in the 80s. But Games Workshop forgot that their main customer base were a bunch of fucking turbo autists who wouldn't see the satire and they started treating the absurd grimdark setting like a super serious piece of art. GW just mass produced a lot of slop to appeal to said autists because of course autists have no standards, just look at sonic. And now of course those autists are doing tiresome culture war shit because their super serious lore got changed.

Anyway just look at the concept art and maybe play some of the video games, nothing else is of value.
