Warhammer 40000 Warhammer 40K: Core Rules

The Galaxy-spanning Imperium, beset on all sides by ravening aliens, foul traitors, and warp-spawned daemons, looks once more to its greatest warriors to stave off the encroaching darkness. There is no time for peace. No respite. No forgiveness. There is only war.

Warhammer 40,000 is a tabletop battle game in which each player commands an army of miniatures representing the forces of the Imperium or one of its many enemies.
