The Imperium, a decaying empire on the verge of collapse, is governed by fanaticism and corruption. The Emperor, once a living god, now sits immobile upon the Golden Throne, while his bureaucratic disciples wage war in his name. The warp, a hellish dimension of psychic energy, spills forth abominations, Chaos Gods, and cultists that threaten the very fabric of reality.This section provides a double-page galactic map that details the key warzones and regions, bringing the scope of this galactic conflict to life. It also chronicles the rise and fall of humanity, from the golden era of the Great Crusade to the chaos of the Horus Heresy and the current Era Indomitus, where the Imperium faces destruction on all sides.FactionsThe galaxy is populated by a multitude of factions, each with their own ambitions and methods of war. This section gives a rich background to the forces vying for control:The Imperium's armies, including the relentless Space Marines, the vast legions of the Astra Militarum, the fanatical Adepta Sororitas, and the mechanical armies of the Adeptus Mechanicus.The Forces of Chaos, featuring the renegade Traitor Legions, warbands of Heretic Astartes, and the demonic forces of the Chaos Gods.The Xenos Threat, ranging from the unstoppable Tyranids and their Genestealer Cults to the technologically advanced T’au Empire, the ancient Necrons, and the savage Orks.Detailed miniatures showcase these factions in all their brutal glory, with tips on their combat styles and strategic strengths.Core RulesThe core rules provide the framework for waging battle in Warhammer 40,000.

You’ll learn the five phases of a game—Command, Movement, Shooting, Charge, and Fight—and how to master each one to lead your forces to victory. The book also explains the datasheets and characteristics of the models, as well as Stratagems and special abilities that add depth to your tactics.Additional rules cover terrain, aircraft, and how to deploy forces in a balanced and strategic way. This section concludes with a mission called Only War, offering a starting point for immediate gameplay.Combat PatrolFor new players or veterans looking for fast-paced action, Combat Patrol offers a more compact version of the game. Using the contents of the Combat Patrol boxes, this mode distills the core essence of Warhammer 40,000 into an hour-long tactical experience.
