A community dedicated to the universe of Warhammer 40k, a tabletop setting in the far, distant future.
This is a general community for 40k miniatures, art, lore discussion, and gameplay discussion.
Rules
- Keep it civil.
- No memeposts/shitposts. Memes are great but direct them to grimdank.
- Please mark any posts containing realistic nudity or realistic excessive gore/violence as NSFW; this rule mainly applies to cosplay and realistic drawings rather than miniatures. Being that 40k is inherently violent, this is a judgement call, and mods may occasionally request posters add tags.
- No political or social cause agenda pushing.

Are you looking to play a TTRPG like D&D, or the main Warhammer miniature war game?
Maybe naive but I thought it would be like D&D. Bunch of buddies, most of us drunk, having fun.
Everyone I mention this to talks about how expensive it is.
It can certainly be expensive, depending on pricing and region, but if you look at some guides online for cheap ways to get into it there should be plenty of advice 😊i'ved certainly had lots of fun, drunk and chill games with friends for sure.
The current edition of 40k 10th edition has just released and all of the rules for all the factions and the main game can be downloaded for free so that should help you out. They also have a new game mode called combat patrol which is intended for new players and smaller games (so less investment) they have fixed unit selections but the rules are balanced for the smaller size so it can be very fun you can find the combat patrol rules on their website too.
