Dawn of War 3 and the lore behind the Warhammer 40k universe.
So quite recently the reveal trailer for Dawn of War 3 was released and I have to say, it's amazing. I've watched it probably more than 10 times. While it understandably doesn't show any game play it's still a good watch and has definitely peaked my interest. I'm interested to see other peoples thoughts on the reveal, as I haven't seen any threads here yet about it.
I have been a big fan of the Dawn of War games for a long time now, and more so the Warhammer 40k universe as a whole, ever since I picked up my first (and only) space marine minifigure at a garage sale as a kid.
Unfortunately however I've had absolutely nothing to do with the lore behind warhammer 40k and I'm keen to know more behind it all.
I realise there is a massive amount of info on it but I have no idea where to start, so can anyone recommend a good starting point? Books, wikis etc?
I'll link an article for further info to the game for those that are interested.

There is about 30 years worth of lore to go through which is far too much to start ranting off on a forum. Avoid Grey Knight lore until much later. It's ridiculous. Unless you like things that are so overpowered they could probably take on, and beat, every other Sci Fi universe completely naked while eating crumpets and drinking diet pepsi.
