Warhammer 40,000 (Sixth Edition)

A grim, dystopian science‑fiction wargame of massed miniature armies fighting for control of the galaxy. Players collect, assemble, and paint forces from rival factions—human Space Marines, alien empires, swarming bioforms, ancient machines, inscrutable psykers, or Chaos‑tainted cults—and build lists within a common rules framework. Gameplay uses turn‑based phases of movement, shooting, assault, psychic powers, and morale to resolve tactical engagements across modular battlefields. The rulebook explains core mechanics, army construction, and scenario play, while miniature rules and faction rosters govern unit profiles, special abilities, and force composition.
