(Unless you count the sudden removals of Legacy of Dorn: Herald of Oblivion and Warhammer 40,000: Regicide from digital marketplaces. There’s an absolutely massive array of games from myriad nooks and crannies of the 40K universe, and if recent years are any proof, their proliferation shows no signs of slowing down. From tabletop to screen, it is often a grim affair.īut it is a fun setting to play games in, because the world Games Workshop has created lends itself well to both tabletop and video games, from wars fought at inconceivable scales to in-your-face skirmishes. In many ways, humankind is among the worst of all the warring factions. Demons, Orks, and aliens of all varieties abound. It’s grim, there are no good guys, and there are these fellas called Space Marines who carry machine guns that shoot rockets, and people deify them like gods. So, now may be the best time ever to dip your toes (or dive headlong) into the vast, complex, intimidating sci-fi universe. Games Workshop, Warhammer 40K’s creator, is also finally taking steps to change parts of the franchise’s lore that have attracted hate groups in its community. Said universe is also undergoing a dramatic shift in the lore’s status quo, as the narrative turns sideways across books, video games, tabletop games, and general fandom. Henry Cavill, everyone’s favorite celebrity nerd, moved away from his roles as Superman and Geralt of Rivia and toward a collaboration with Amazon on a series based in his beloved Warhammer 40K universe. It would be an understatement to say that Warhammer 40,000 is having a moment.
