The naming is my primary reason for not even wanting to read any of the 40k/AoS books.
Gotrek & Felix may be the only exception and even that is doubtful.

Even before the great renaming(tm) when Imperial Guard and Eldar got renamed to something latin like the average name sounded silly and meaningless. It often sounds like the little writing exercise we did at school where you had to create a scifi text by adding random words for objects. Tolkien is probably the other extreme, but at least you can feel the history in the names and objects he mentions.

This is probably why SF/Fantasy can be tricky to get into as you either grok the fancy words or they become barriers to your understanding.

Oh .. and in ‘other hobby’ news … I’ve committed to buying a new trike ( Azub Ti-Fly X ). It’s going to be a lease construct, so technically I’m only paying for half of the trike now and the rest minus a bit of tax friendly cost reduction in monthly payments over 3 years. Expensive ? Yep … but totally worth it as it will be my main transport.

And now … MUSIC
