Enter­ing fresh into a well-estab­lished fran­chise can be a pret­ty intim­i­dat­ing prospect. Warham­mer 40,000 has a sto­ried his­to­ry in numer­ous media types includ­ing table­top, video games and even a movie. Thus, com­ing in blind would be kind of like going to see Cap­tain Amer­i­ca: Civ­il War with­out see­ing any of the pre­vi­ous movies. It’s cer­tain­ly enter­tain­ing, but a lit­tle hard to fol­low in terms of char­ac­ter moti­va­tions and the estab­lished uni­verse. Still, as I have found in the past, some­times div­ing into this prover­bial deep end is the per­fect way to shoul­der your way into some­thing new and find the per­fect jump­ing off point to becom­ing a fan. This is the approach I took in check­ing out Warham­mer 40,000: Inquisi­tor — Mar­tyr at E3 this year and from what I saw, it looks to be the per­fect on-ramp for me to get into the series.
