GW has had a running narrative for their Warhammer universes, and that is still true here. There is plenty of fluff, or lore, to get you going and psyched up, with the first 190 or so pages dedicated to the next part of the story. Every page is well presented and is accompanied by depictions of the Warhammer 40,000 Universe. The special edition rulebook features a wrap-around art cover that will look amazing under the coffee table. Once assembled, and painted preferably, it's time to look at the rules. The Warhammer 40,000 universe has expanded outside from the tabletop and can be found in a wide selection of video games, along with its sister title Warhammer Age Of Sigmar. Models need assembling before play and most (if not all) players will have painted their army as part of the hobby. GW switched from releasing just a single rulebook to a boxed set including miniatures, dice, rulebook, and everything needed to get playing. Since then the game has continued to grow, both in scope and numbers of players. It became an instant hit for publisher Games Workshop, as people fell in love with the grimdark future that they painted. Warhammer 40,000 started life in 1987 as a single rulebook for tabletop wargames in the 40th Millenia. Until now! Since the box first hit the mat we have been feverishly playing away at the new 9th Edition and now feel ready to give our first impressions.įor those of you who haven't yet come across Warhammer 40,000, a little back story. We've had the press preview of Warhammer 40,000's launch box Indomitus here at the TG bunker for a couple of weeks now and, while we have covered the release, we haven't gone too deep into actual analysis of the pieces.
