What is Warhammer 40k?

      In order to get properly started telling my Warhammer 40k story, it is important that everyone knows just what Warhammer 40k is! Therefore, without further ado, is my mini introduction to the world of Warhammer 40k.

     Warhammer 40,000 (Abbreviated Warhammer 40k) is a table-top war game by Games Workshop. It has its own unique story that takes place in a twisted future (the 41st millennium, hence the name) where the Imperium of Man is slowing falling apart. The armies of the Imperium fight to hold back their many enemies, even as the Imperium itself is sundering from the pressure of the "enemy within."

     These battles are played out on the tabletop, where each player leads an army of one of the many factions in the Warhammer 40k universe. The scale of the conflicts range from small squad vs squad conflicts between 2 players to long protracted campaigns involving hundreds of miniatures and multiple players over the course of several days!

     Additional information about Warhammer 40k can be found on the Games Workshop official site (a link to which can be found under the resources section on this site). Thank for you checking out this introduction to the world of Warhammer 40k, and I hope you will find it an enjoyable experience.
