Event NameI don'
Warhammer 40,000, often shortened to 40K, is a complex tabletop miniatures wargame set in a dystopian science fiction universe. In this bleak future, players engage in high-stakes, dramatic battles set in captivating landscapes. Each player commands an army made up of various factions, including noble Space Marines, ancient Eldar, wild Orcs, and nightmarish Chaos forces. Each faction offers a unique set of characters and units, as well as different strategies for victory. Players must make smart use of unit movement, line of sight, cover, and abilities to outsmart and defeat their opponents. Build alliances, strategize and master war to become the true champion of the Warhammer 40,000 universe.

History

Warhammer 40,000, commonly known as Warhammer 40K, takes place in a dark, dystopian future where a vast interstellar empire known as the Empire of Man is on the brink of collapse. Humanity is surrounded on all sides by countless alien species, heretical traitors, and demonic horrors from another dimension. The Warhammer 40K universe is renowned for its grim and unyielding brutality, displayed in the desperate and merciless combat that defines its history.

The universe also features complex social and political structures, a complex pantheon of gods and demons, and a history spanning tens of thousands of years. Warhammer 40K's races range from zealous and warlike humans to strange and secretive alien species, each with their own unique history, characteristics and aesthetic style.

The phrase "in the bleak darkness of the far future there is only war" perfectly captures the essence of the Warhammer 40,000 universe: richly detailed environments filled with extraordinary characters driven by a never-ending cycle of war and conflict.
