I don't know anything about One Piece. Is it any good?
I never knew anything about Warhammer 40k when you'd bring it up either, except that it was a video game. I always thought from the name it was some sort of fantasy game like World of Warcraft or something.
But I saw a real interesting video last night about the movie Event Horizon where the guy was drawing parallels to Warhammer and the comment section exploded with agreement on that. All of the sudden, Warhammer got a lot more interesting in my mind after seeing that.

I was aware of the comicbook many, many years ago, didnt know much other than its a Japan comic that became a toon
its Japan anime manga 'Pirate' and superish magic powers, very funny from what I knew of it and a bunch of stupidly enjoyable characters and highly entertaining
the Tv show is fun...it reminds me of something Hollywood used to be good at

Dont get into it, you will waste too much time on it
anyone who gets into it in some kind of way then wants to tell others

It's firstly a board game...over time it became something else
Three young guys from England started it in the 70s I think
toy soldiers, trench warfare in space but ridiculously grim.
Think Chess, monopoly, Dungeons etc with Catan or little models Cowboys and Indians figures or Carcassonne or Civil War canons and little toy solider men, Clue or aka Cluedo or Lord of the Rings
The company was British and it became a multi Billion Dollar franchise, the game is Game Workshop eventually it game other games and other magazines went to 'Space'
That's where 40K came in
WARHAMMER 40,000 is not designed to be 'Won' you have little figures and rules and measuring tape and ways to roll dice and score 'hits' but the war is a stalemate and endless.
...its rigged like Vegas
You CAN NOT WIN Warhammer, you especially can not win 40K
The game can be seen as a grind that just keeps going 'stalemate' trench warfare...but lately some New guys appeared the Tau....there are traditional small figures, old 'Race' the Humans, the Space Orcs or Orks, the Sadistic looking creatures that see like Elves, the Necrons these Space-Terminator looking things who were sleeping in Pyramids, metallic Necron Terminator looking 'people' that once killed 'space gods' all Races/Factions typically rush and use waves of charging people like meat grinders
Necrons the Terminators who once lived inside Space-Pyramids are not just old but ancient
...you also have crazy Space Nuns that drop Cathedrals on planets ...because
Cheats?
Then a new fantasy scifi character bunch called the 'Tau' recently showed up with super laser guns and 'Space Drones' and they seem to care a lot about their people and win because their guns are better so everyone who was playing the game for a while hates the new guys 'The Tau'
I guess that's a bit like how Japan broke the rules and defeated Russians off the coast of Siberia, or how the USA changed the rules of 'Warfare' beating old powers, hitting stand-off weapons and winning against Empires and winning victories in WW1 and WW2, the Tau dont obey the old rules
Orks are supposed to be the most fun, you throw dice and 'random' stuff can happen
the Orks might have cartoon powers

People buy dolls and paint them.
Some people simply collect the Space Army Dolls or Giant figures or small soldiers like people would collect Army models
How to Paint a Space Orc or Ork
What colors to use for a Nasty Horror Looking Space Elf Assassin
How to Paint alien T'au Empire Combat Patrol model. People complain the Tau are cheating with neo-MECHA, the Tau cheat its like Having Satellites and Aircraft Carriers and Stealth against guys chucking spear and a few others with AK-47s
Some of the models are stupidly expensive, from what I see some of the official paints are very expensive
