Is there a better way to absorb warhammer lore ?

    As a person who's not into the table top games, but loves the lore.

    I watch/listen to a few channels:

    WesHammer - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSDj6ttwzj2sr464jDdg_pA

    He does a short introduction (on camera), then the rest is audio with relevant artwork and some video from the games.

    Aside from the usual deep-dives into the various factions and popular characters, I enjoy his Grim Dark Story Hour vids. These focus on creepy (horror) short stories from random Warhammer books, where Wes does some voice acting as well.

    The Sleepy Hollow - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC86zNGwCUt5gBnizRSWSLuA

    Warhammer lore (and game lore). It's meant to be for helping people get to sleep. But I listen to it during the day. If you do use it for sleep, watch out for the super loud Youtube ads that play in the middle, if you don't have Premium or use Peertube.

    There are a lot of other Youtubers that do good content as well, like Arbitor Ian etc.

    The top two are my recommendations.

    For 40k, I've been watching a lot of bricky (also does non warhammer stuff so I've linked a specific video) and krakduk. (does the annoying youtuber voice, if that gets on your nerves it might not be the channel for you)

    There is also the lexicanum for everything 40k, old fantasy, and age of sigmar.

  • Also if you want to watch funny series with a disappointment of an ending (FUCK YOU GW) Warhammer TTS is a good place to start. Though some warning the team that did that are now doing a series based on World of Darkness set in North Norfolk England, they also have a Mage campaign set in the same setting but it takes place in Norfolk Virginia.

    if you have a couple hours per video to kill, Luetin09 on youtube. Otherwise, and honestly this is how I learned most of the lore, youtube shorts. Astartesanonymous gives the best shorts with a basic introduction and then lore. Isyander & Koda is another good channel.
