Trying To Explain Warhammer 40k To My Girlfriend

#warhammer #warhammer40k
As many people rightfully pointed out the voice over from Brickys video I used here misquoted "100 centuries" for "100 years" but I totally didn't notice it until the video was already posted. At least it is still technically correct.

Girlfriend? The Emperor is your Girlfriend, Guardsman! Now get back in line!

Lets be real, if you're a Warhammer 40k fan and you have a girlfriend...
Your girlfriend is not your girlfriend.
It's Alpharius in disguise.
Hydra Dominatus!

Tried explaining it to my parents.

To the best of their understanding, Warhammer 40k is, and I quote, "Star Wars, except everyone's screwed. And there are also cenobites, for some reason."

[azuth]

Poor Bricky, I cringe every time I hear him say "a hundred years" instead of "a hundred centuries" when reciting that quote.

Girlfriend? A man can only love 2 things! The emperor and the imperium!

[BrutaPancadaria]

"We play with little models and paint them."
"Sounds fun!"

It was pretty easy guys.

If you find a girl that sits down with you to discuss Warhammer 40k, marry her

Commissar: "Just take this flashlight, and point it over at that hill!"
Her: "The one covered in grass?"
Commissar: "Grass!?" *Chuckles*
Orks: *Bellow with laughter*

I sat for 4 hours telling my Boyfriend about all the Primarchs.. on our second date..

Now he's started painting modells~

The fact that she listens and supports your passions makes her a keeper.

[FridayNightPlayer]

So it's the year 40, 000, but let's back up a bit 10, 000 years to the horus-

The Horus heresy was an event involving the primar-

The Primarchs are the emper-

The Emperor o-

The warp-

The chaos go-

Games workshop and what would become blizzard north-

Only a hundred years on the throne eh?

[daniel-zhnjyny]

My family: "It is the 21st century. For more than 30 minutes, Daniel has sat immobile on his throne, and the rest of us need to use the bathroom"

[logangrimnar]

"For more than a hundred years..."

"How much more?"

"Nine thousand nine hundred"

"Wow."

[Osiferheheh]

"For more than a hundred years the Emperor has sat immobile on the golden throne of Earth"
Well you're not wrong...

Despite my wife’s father being a lifelong WH nerd, she knew little to nothing about it. I bought a pack of FW Krieg years ago and was painting them when she came home and was like, what’s that?
I then proceeded to tell her that, as a fan of mechs, the Covenant from Halo were the good guys, they wore red, and were incredibly naive because the Catholic Church allied themselves with the nazis, god had created super soldiers, the xenomorphs were coming, and demons existed.

She just finished her second army. Sisters of Battle, if anyone’s wondering

Warhammer and girlfriend? Who do you think you are? Henry Cavill?

[ColinGrym]

That's why you start out slowly...just leave a few pics of Sanguinius or pre-Heresy Fulgrim cuddling Ferrus Manus lying around (Russ if she likes bears, Vulkan if she prefers chocolate to vanilla). After she's hooked on artistic renderings of genetic perfection, mention that it's something you two could do together that might bring you closer. BAM...10 months later she's buying you a Watchers of the Gate box set and discussing whether or not a Custodes could beat Alpharius in melee. It's a well-trod path to corruption, and all the sweeter for being gradual.

Unnacurate. Warhammer fans could never get a girlfriend
