It's a ridiculously expensive tabletop game with some really doofy lore that 4chan is in love with for some reason.

40k is a game, played using miniatures in ~30mm scale.

it's set in the far distant future, humanity took to the stars and conquered most of the galaxy but their AIs eventually turned against them, the war to free themselves from those AIs destroyed most technology and broke the supply lines and shit between worlds.

Some time later a messiah is born, his soul the merger of all the great saints, buddahs, shamans etc. from all over who united to save humanity.

He makes a bunch of super warrior babies but the evil gods scatter them around the galaxy, the messiah now calling himself the emperor goes on a crusader to find them and unite humanity. Those babies each act as the blueprint for a legion of warriors called Space marines (the big armour boys)

After they're all found they start infighting, half of his sons betray him, tempted by those same evil gods that scattered them and the emperor is wounded, he's going to die of his wounds but instead is placed in a giant mechanical life support called the golden throne.

Now 10,000 years after that incident he is worshipped as a god by a cult that formed around the godlike being who was able to do so much. The forces of humanity clash with aliens and the forces of the chaos gods for the future of humanity.

Warhammer 40k is a tabletop game played with multiple units of troops, creatures, and giant demons
there's multiple factions like zombie robots, beep boop robots, demon possessed robots of death and chaos, sadistic killer elf clowns, sadistic evil elves, condescending killer elves, nuns who like fire a bit too much, giant bugs who eat entire planets daily, greenskinned football (soccer) hooligans who are black comedy incarnate, and giant super human brainwashed killing machines who purge the enemies of mankind
there's also plain human soldiers who die by the bucketful

It's also pretty fucking expensive

Ever played a game sort of like age of empires of starcraft? Well, before computers, these games were played using figurines, and one of those games was Warhammer 40k.

You should also look up the URL www.google.com it is a page that allows you to write words and look for information of them from all over the internet!

I mean, yeah, quite.

There's only a tiny handful of female characters who are important and a big part of the fluff is just jacking off to how big and strong the Marines are, spending whole books just detailing that fact.

Remember, these are the guys who were unhappy with Blizzard, so they took their IP and ran, leaving Blizzard with a game they had to rebrand as something else, and it became one of the most famous games of all time.

Honestly i'm counting the days before some clever Chinaman actually starts producing some Space Marine figures and throws them up on Taobao. They already make a killing with bootleg kits, getting their action figure teams to whip something up sounds like a recipe to make huge amounts of money.

Any figure of my bois the Salamanders, White Scars or World Eaters would be amazing.

Warhammer Fantasy is a fantastic tabletop wargame with an expansive story setting that is as dead as Toys R Us. It radically altered the fantasy genre, being the third modern fantasy setting (Tolkien-D&D-Warhammer) to set the standard, inventing things such as Mexican lizard people, green Orcs, and settings being something other than Arthurian.

Warhammer 40k is its retarded sci fi cousin. That’s what is in the OP.

Age Of Sigmar is its even more retarded son.

There are so many cool designs in the 40k universe but the only way to get them is to buy GW's shitty overpriced models. I hope they'll go bankrupted so Bandai can buy them and then produce actual quality models.

Warhammer is pure 80's hair metal. Which makes sense, because it was made in the 70's/80's. You'd know this if you weren't 12, man.

If you're looking for a video game, there is an RTS series called Dawn of War, which is really good.
If you play it I recommend playing Dark Crusade first since it's the best one. Soulstorm is good also, although if you're just starting to play it the added units and races make it harder to learn.

The tabletop game is also fun, although I usually just make my own figures out of paper or card to play it. Also means I can make up my own units and rules, especially for playing solo.

This never occurred to me before, but is this why we never get any Warhammer figures of any kind? Because they'd compete with the actual miniatures?

Is this series dying or something? My local hobby stores keep having their WH40K sections shrink bit by bit. The place I go for Gunpla recently got rid of their cardboard cutouts that advertise the game too.

It certainly seems to be stuck with the generation who were playing in the early 2000s. It's still popular and the company is back on top after a hard few years but I think it's long past it's prime.

Not that guy, but its pretty apt. I worked at the toy store a few years back which had a wargaming section, and the youngest people I ever saw buying 40k kits were early 30s, whereas other lines would get customers in the highschool and uni age bracket. And this was in a major university city which naturally had no shortage of 18-25 nerds, 40k just doesn't seem to particularly appeal to younger people in my experience. Might have been the cost, but all that shit was expensive so idk.
