8-bit, 16-bit 32-bit... are for the color palette. These GIFs are pixilated.
Tezza48
They look way more than 8 bit, you mean pixel art?
ChuckWeiss
Pixel art =/= 8bit
ByThePowerOfSCIENCE
GIF == 8 bit (256 colors)

Remind me a bit of Dune 2 intro. "Vast armies have arrived. Now, three houses fight for control of Dune."

#9 Every single time. Gonna have to have a sit-down chat with the Fire Caste about ignoring the "no step" stencils on our hovertanks.

Now we need Metal Slug: 40k
MaddPainting
HA, literally painting Warhammer right now.
DHDragon
I recognize that Dawn of War mission from the 1st one.

As a 40k casual: FETISH ACQUIRED.

All heretics fall to the 'seductions' of the Sisters of Battle!

I gotta say, the best Horus Heresy book is the one where the 4 assassins try to kill Horus.

Needs more WAGH and more DAKA
BewareTheIceSpiders
At least the battlewagon is painted red for additional speed.
samsy19
Not any more :(
BewareTheIceSpiders
It will if you believe it does
Flyith2
This looks a little bit more high def than 8 bit
agermanguy
Yeah 16 bit
Strostkovy
They likely have an 8 bit pallet, but I agree some of them are more similar to what ou would see on a 16 bit system.
ByThePowerOfSCIENCE
The last PC CPU with an 8-bit data bus was the 8088 and it still had a 16-bit architecture.
Strostkovy
Isn't the 8088 just a stripped down version of something else to cut down on pin count?
ByThePowerOfSCIENCE
Exactly. It's an 8086 with an 8-bit external data bus (so I/O and memory access took twice as many machine cycles).
Strostkovy
I don't think it really counts as an 8 bit machine if it has a 16 bit ALU and registers, and just loads two bytes in a row of memory.
HALex9000
Well, good to know for next time.
Strostkovy
To be honest I think this is the sweet spot for pixel art.

Whenever I see 40k posts it seems like a cool universe I'd like to get into but I have zero desire to paint miniatures. Help
TheGreyKnightsBANNED
Start with the Horus heresy work your way up from there. Look at anything that interests you.
ElegantKitty
I'm just interested in cute monsters tbh. Tyranids! Also Felenids! :3
filurilurl
I've never played the tabletop and I'm still into 40k. Fair warning: a LOT of the lore is in flux atm, GW semi-relaunched the setting.
Sissyishsnow
Commission painters are a thing.
Nykidemus
A very expensive thing
psrobyn1
Start by reading a Sci-Fi series called “The Horus Heresy”, you can get books from the website blacklibrary.com or your local bookstore.

Horus Heresy who?

Anything Abnett is worthwhile.
percivaldanvers
I don't paint miniatures at all. I just play dawn of war I and II. They were a good introduction for me.
lider272
play some videogames of warhammer they are nice or read some books to get started with the lore, best of luck with the universe of 40k
thejpn
Any suggestions on where to start? I'd definitely be interested in the books but it's overwhelming trying to get going
ahnteis
There are some good book lists on various blogs, etc. (Don't have handy or I'd link) Google should find.
spelguru
Dawn of War 1: Winter Assault, or Dark Crusade. Soulstorm has more races but... oh god the story. It hurts.
spelguru
Battlefleet Gotchic and Space Marine are also good games, if you prefer "naval" combat or third person action over RTS.
heartofimpetus
I recently started reading the Horus Heresy series as a starting point for the franchise, it's pretty decent
thesmelge
Dan Abnett's Gaunts Ghosts series.
Hybris51129
Start with the 40K wiki and just crawl through that for a while. It takes time but that and Arch Warhammer's lore videos help fill in stuff.
LesserSam
I started with Heroes of the Space Marines and Let the Galaxy Burn but most will probably recommend starting w/ The Horus Heresy story arcs.
IMadeThisOnlyForDestinyCodeBegging
Ciaphas Cain series! They're a humorous take on W40K world and they're really good. Besides that what faction interests you the most?
IMadeThisOnlyForDestinyCodeBegging
Aliens? Humans? Space Marines? They all have their books. books about Space Marines are the most common, obviously.
BuckeyeBTH
Hi there, i have a summary of WH40k Universe, timelines and factions i can PM you. Also has some book series recommendations included. LMK
AnDanDan
If you want a comedic take on things, watch If The Emperor Had a Text To Speech Device. It takes liberties with telling it's own story 1/?
AnDanDan
1d4chan wiki on stuff since again, comedic spin. 3/3
AnDanDan
But each episode has some actual lore. Plus, it can give you keywords and such to google like 'who are the primarchs'. Also, read the 2/?
