The heart of the matter of course is the tabletop game itself which seems like a lot of fun but is also an expensive hobby to get to. This universe is used as the springboard for many books and movies, many of whom are fan-made. It isn’t a universe for everyone but it is one hell of a fun one! It is as insane as it is fun and as fun as it is grimdark and it takes itself as seriously as it winks and nods about how much fun it has. Known for its extreme grandiosity and vast over the top nature, it features soldiers and genetically modified transhumanists fighting ancient aliens or demons or sentient fungus-like creatures… you just must experience it yourself. It is centered mostly (but not exclusively!) on the Empire of Mankind and its many wars to survive and keep its apex position as the most powerful faction within the galaxy, besieged on all sides by traitors, aliens, mutants, and heretics. But to put it simply it is a vast universe set into the distant future and focused in interstellar conflict between multiple factions, all of whom are some shades of grim or dark or failing that – dark and grim.

The first one, not its excellent though quite different sequel.
