I got into it by dawn of war 1
was at a (now deceased game retailer) checking out a few games, dawn of war among them.
holy shit I spent like 2 months in my house playing that game nonstop
since then I got into the books etc did lots of research.
I want this race to become more bigger and more important
I'm a mad sucker for biomechanism.
>The Slaugth are a frighteningly advanced race who possess a mastery of biomechanical technology as well as a greater understanding of elemental physics which exceeds that of mankind and perhaps even the Eldar. Among their more mysterious capabilities is the capacity to travel interstellar distances without making use of the Warp. Much of their devices are actually grown or augmented pseudo-living machines which blend both flesh and metal.1-p78 Their science and technology is nightmarishly powerful that blends the organic with the inorganic in a symbiotic functional form. They are able to manufacture strange techno-organic constructs with bewildering creatures to conduct their masters goals. Their weapons and artefacts are strangely advanced to make them appear as products of warp craft to the uninitiated.1-p80 The keen and terrible grasp of the biosciences has proven to be the greatest strength of their kind which allows them to grow entire armies instead of training them. Their array of constructs can be adapted to serve as guards, spies and even as labourers.5-p209http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Slaugth
