A community dedicated to the universe of Warhammer 40k, a tabletop setting in the far, distant future.
This is a general community for 40k miniatures, art, lore discussion, and gameplay discussion.
Rules
- Keep it civil.
- No memeposts/shitposts. Memes are great but direct them to grimdank.
- Please mark any posts containing realistic nudity or realistic excessive gore/violence as NSFW; this rule mainly applies to cosplay and realistic drawings rather than miniatures. Being that 40k is inherently violent, this is a judgement call, and mods may occasionally request posters add tags.
- No political or social cause agenda pushing.

Adding a comment here as I'm in the same boat. Played some Warhammer games over the years and I love the WH universe but I'm honestly not grasping the greater story.
@Xenxs @Cotillion189 for a long time the setting was static. But a few years ago they released Dark Imperium, which advanced the storyline and modernized/codified some concepts, notably the Primaris space marines. Leviathan is the most recent release, and updates the overall narrative again. That could be a good start if you want to catch up on what’s current. Disclaimer: I’ve yet to read it
