Lion? If you’re a human in 40k you’re more likely to be a mangy street cat forced to work in a factory processing other cats into fancy feast. Fuck yeah I’ll be the Taus little pet over that, I can work in at a space turnip farm or something, maybe they’ll give me little human treats.

    The main reasons:

    • Covid lock downs gave people a lot of time at home to work on hobbies.
    • A change in leadership at GW (Tom Kirby was replaced by Kevin Roundtree).
    • The collapse of their main competitors shitting the bed (everyone is still flabbergasted how hard Warmachine and X-Wing shit the bed).
    • Video games, fan content, and other secondary materials.
    • Popularity of the Horus Heresy series.

    But yeah. In high school, I had no problem if my peers thought we were playing Pokémon in the cafeteria at lunch (we were playing Magic). I would not be caught dead, however, talking about 40k.
