It's a tabletop game played with absurdly expensive plastic miniatures, but there are a ton of video games from the franchise now, and I would bet that the majority of online warhammer fans have never even touched a miniature before. (not that I blame them, it is a huge waste of money).

"Warhammer" is fictional fantasy world with fantasy elements like dwarves and elves and french people, and warhammer 40,000 (or 40k) is a sci-fi fantasy that was created as a parody of absurdly grimdark sci-fi where everything is shit for everyone all the time, but like any popular parody, people unironically enjoyed the setting and now the vast majority of content related to the franchise takes the grimdark stuff 100% seriously.
