Wondering what the deal is with the grim darkness of Warhammer 40K? Trying to figure out how to dive into the many tomes of the Black Library? We've got you covered:
With news that Henry Cavill is about to launch a Warhammer 40K Cinematic Universe on Prime Video, many people are asking the very valid and important question"What the heck is Warhammer 40K?" The popular British science-fiction franchise is one of the biggest IPs in the world that hasn't had a serious movie or TV adaptation, in part because of its satirically dark themes and its complex and singular canon that stretches over 30 years, nine game editions, and thousands of novels.
Behind the miniatures skirmish game is a rich universe created in the 1980s by a team at Games Workshop, who were looking to create a science-fiction version of their Warhammer Fantasy game. Many classic fantasy species like orcs, elves, and dwarves appear in Warhammer 40K, with magic and psychic powers as important to the setting as space ships and laser beams. There are numerous factions and armies in Warhammer 40K, and all are willing to wage war against each other with no provocation.
The Imperium is beset by a number of threats, including Legions of former Space Marines who were corrupted by the arcane magicks of Chaos. During a civil war known as the Horus Heresy that occurred about 10,000 years prior to the current era of the game, about half of the Space Marines turned against the Imperium and started to worship the gods of Chaos, malevolent beings from the Warp.
