Warhammer 40,000 is set in the nightmare future of the 41st millennium. Most of humanity exists under the yoke of a tyrannical, medieval-style empire spanning most of the galaxy called "The Imperium of Man." Life in the Imperium is bleak - however, most of the alternatives are worse; the Imperium is beset on all sides by ravenous alien hordes, and from within by the treacherous agents of malicious, inter-dimensional, daemonic entities. There is no peace in the 41st millennium, and there is no respite - there is only war.
Warhammer 40,000 (or "40k" as it is usually abbreviated) was one of the early pioneers of the "Grimdark" Science Fiction / Fantasy sub-genre, blending medieval aesthetics with futuristic design components in a unique design vocabulary.
