What is the basic lore for Warhammer 40k?
The Warhammer 40,000 universe is used as a science fantasy background for the wargames Warhammer 40,000 (aka “40k”) and Dark Heresy created by Games Workshop. It has been used extensively in two other Role Playing Games, Rogue Trader and Necromunda and also features heavily in two big pieces of computer tech lore; the action RPG games Chaos Gate and Epic Pinball.
It was originally created as a setting for tabletop wargames which were published solely by Games Workshop but at present it is both licensed to and produced by various past companies with the aid of successor company The Black Library entertainment division who has adapted the entire range into an enormous body of literature, not just gaming products but this fiction extends into the realms of literature and computer games as well.
