PICK A UNIVERSE TO EXPLORE!

Although Warhammer is a catch all term for the universes that Games Workshop have developed through the years, each iteration of Warhammer is unique from the others. Warhammer is split into two main timelines, Warhammer Fantasy and Warhammer 40K, and each timeline has two main eras that could be summarily described as 'the past' and 'the present day'.

In the case of Warhammer Fantasy, the setting is split into two distinct eras. The first, formerly known as just Warhammer and now often referred to as “The Old World”, is set on a earth-like planet inhabited by various factions fighting for control and survival. Many of these have taken a clear inspiration from real world cultures, while others are interpretations of familiar concepts like elves, dwarves and orcs. This is also the setting where popular video games such as the Total War: Warhammer and Vermintide series are set. Central to the Old World is the struggle with the forces of Chaos, a battle that is ultimately lost leading to the End Times. This event results in the destruction of the planet and a scattering of the eight winds of magic, each eventually congealing to a habitable pocket reality heavily shaped by that wind’s attributes. These eight realities are connected by realm gates and would be known as the Mortal Realms, forming the setting of Age of Sigmar. This setting revolves around survivors of the Old World and whole new factions shaped by the Mortal Realms in a struggle of survival.

As for Warhammer 40K, the current timeline revolves around events that have occurred between the 31st and 42nd Millennium. This is the universe that features the superhuman Space Marines as well as the iconic term 'grimdark'. However, the present day of 40K would taken a different path if it were not for the events of the Horus Heresy. This event took place 10,000 years before the current timeline and occurred at the end of a 200 year crusade to reclaim humanity's lost territories throughout the galaxy. It would herald the descent to madness and violence that is the norm of 40K, instigated by the titular Horus Lupercal - the favoured son of the Emperor of Mankind. Also has a 50-ish book series with interconnecting story lines and a whole lot of named characters.
