    WH40K nerds are everywhere. Just get a fact checker and go wild.

    Lexicanum is also really good for research. Compliment it with 1d4chan if you need dumbed down explanations

    The problem is I don't know how to into techobabble, nor how dialogue for characters in the 40K universe is like.

    Maybe I can study some 40K fics to get an idea, but that seems like too big of an investment than I want to get into for now.

    Hahaha. The secret is that a lot of 40k characters don't know how to do technobabble, and instead replace it with magic or pseudoscience based on weird tech worshipping cults. The Eldar for example use Magitek so you wouldn't need it for a quest centered around them.

    And the Orks are literally Mad Max in space. You can get away with a lot if you just play to your strengths.

    Finding sci-fi you like and integrating the themes that appeal to you into your writing is where I'd start. Honestly it's not too different from normal fantasy; just consider how existing knowledge/technology might extrapolate to your setting. For WH40K specifically... maybe get someone to bounce ideas off of?

    Dude. This is going to be real awkward, but my funky ass brain thought you guys were the same person for a solid moment. What the fuck man, I need to lay off the vidya.

    And yeah, if you wanna break into a new genre just do what all the best writers do. Rip off ideas from other literary works.
