A perpetual man, who among many names was once called Alexander the Great, sits worshipped atop a golden throne as The Emperor of Mankind; a chaotic alternate dimension known as The Warp festers parallel to our own; and Space Marines venture through the galaxy to fight for Terra’s might. This is the world of the Warhammer RPG.

Venture Warhammer 40,000’s far-future reality of interstellar travel, advanced technology, planetary colonialism and terraforming machines, where humanity wages war in the furthest frontiers of deep space. Artificial intelligence has betrayed mankind, Psykers siphon power from the Warp, the Emperor leads the Imperium of Man across the stars, Chaos Gods intervene from beyond the Warp’s veil, and you and your party are thrown into the depths of it all, forced to survive. 

But the limits of this world’s accessibility do not end in the future. Leap thousands of years into the past and leave your mark on the fantasy setting known as the Old World with Warhammer Fantasy’s expansive system of fast-paced combat. Brave the rising of the malevolent Bad Moon, explore the vast and fortified city of Middenheim, draw upon the Winds of Magic for empowerment, and uncover the complexities of this world’s many races, nations and factions.

Ready your starship or your mighty steed and traverse our collections of starter kits and core rule books to get the most out of a campaign. Blending equal parts fantasy and sci-fi, the Warhammer RPGs defy and exceed each traditional expectation of role-playing games.
