One of the revealed mechanics is “Mark of Chaos Ascendant”, which gives spells that you cast from your hand during your turn cascade, so long as they have a mana value equal to or less than the life your opponents lost this turn. I expect to see nearly all these factions represented in one way or another. Their enemies include the forces of Chaos including cultists, daemons, and fallen Space Marines in service to the Chaos Gods, as well as various alien factions like the enigmatic Aeldari, the bestial Orks, the expansionist T’au Empire, and the devouring Tyranid swarms. It wages war on its enemies with the heroic Space Marine chapters and never-ending regiments of the Astra Militarum, or Imperial Guard. The Imperium of Man is on the verge of collapse. Most Warhammer 40k lore is set around the turn of the 42nd millennium, 38,000 years in the future. The heroes in the setting aren’t fighting for a better future, they’re fighting in spite of their enemies. It’s typically understood that there aren’t any “good guys” in 40k, just factions waging war on each other on a staggering scale.

Its setting is a violent, cynical, and uncaring place where untold billions die each day and even more live in squalor or worse.

Warhammer 40k is often cited as the origin of the “grimdark” genre. And, of course, there’s an abundance of swords.

It touches on a lot of classic fantasy tropes with allegories for elves (the Aeldari), orcs (“Orks”), and wizards (known as psykers). It combines classic elements of fantasy with a violent, pessimistic future where heroic Space Marines defend the Imperium of Man against horrific Daemons, enigmatic and ancient aliens, and their own fallen Battle-brothers. Warhammer 40k is an epic miniatures wargame that you’ve probably seen around your local game store.
