Warhammer 40k

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

  1. Keep it civil.
  2. No memeposts/shitposts. Memes are great but direct them to grimdank.
  3. 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.
  4. No political or social cause agenda pushing.

I love making lore for my own armies, and hearing about the original lore people put into theirs.

The Court of the Mortive Expanse arose when a Knight world was isolate upon the opening of the Great Rift. Warp-time-shenanigans resulted in them defending themselves alone for a century or more. When contact was reestablished with the Imperium, instead of sending the requested aid, the Dark Angels chapter arrived demanding supplies and when they didn't immediately comply they were declared renegades. Already strained to the breaking point, the Court finally succumbed to Chaos.
