Games Workshop has been incorporating historical events and battles into the rule books they produce together with the game, as well as in the White Dwarf magazine and Imperial Armour books. Eventually, Black Library was created. It acts as the publishing arm of Games Workshop which publishes novels that tell the story behind the 40K tabletop game.

The 40K tabletop game begins with the story of the Dark Age of Technology. While those dark times, science and technology were worshiped as gods, and in turn, most technologies that were created in that era were used in heavy destruction against the human race. A great amelioration While the Dark Age was warp drive, where mutant navigators navigate through warps and allow for galaxy-traveling.

However, the Dark Age didn't last. Warp trip at last became difficult due to warp storms (that created the Chaos demons), and trade and transportation between human colonies across the galaxy collapsed. This resulted in isolation, starvation, and at last death. Even the Earth (called Terra) was unable to maintain its human population. The once unified human interstellar federation was then divided and varied conflicts arose.

The hero that led the humans out of their misery is known as the Emperor of Man. The emperor united once more the divided human colonies and created the "Imperium of Man". This led to the evolution of the Age of Imperium, the era where the 40k tabletop game is set. The Imperium is the largest empire ever known to man; it is comprised of millions of human colonies across the galaxy and billions of soldiers that have sworn to safe it.

For 10,000 years, the Imperium of Man has survived varied tragedies, deceptions, and wars brought forth by the enemies of humanity, such as the Orks and the Demons of Chaos. However, the Imperium of Man is never safe. That's why the Warhammer 40K tabletop game exists. Constant battles are waged against the Imperium of Man, all for the purpose of invading it and destroying humanity. Now it's your move. Will you be fighting for the Emperor and his Imperium or join the Dark soldiery that want to destroy him? select your side. Build your Warhammer 40K army and fight.
