In the gloomy darkness of the distant future, there is only war. In a world where violence and heresy are hidden everywhere, while Humanity keeps alive under the iron heel of an intergalactic dictatorship, a thousand and thousand threats looming on the horizon. Hordes of aliens, armed with warriors of Chaos, and the endless expanse of the cosmos are the setting within which Warhammer 40,000, the luckiest of the Games Workshop products released in 1987 and now symbol of the entire genre of miniature battles, takes shape. Build an army and battle in alien landscapes, knowing that the only thing waiting for you after the massacre will be more blood.
Raking for a thousand worlds, the Imperium forms its greatest defense force. The Astra Militarum, the unshakable Guard defending the lands of Men, is the largest army in the galaxy. For each fallen, the unstoppable hordes of planets devoted to the Emperor make ten thousand: this and more, to defend Humanity from Xenons and Chaos.
