7,032 articles since July 2005
The Warhammer 40k wiki is a collaborative project to create the most definitive, accurate, and accessible encyclopedia and reference for official information related to Warhammer 40,000. Please note that the mission of this Wiki is to provide official, not fan created information.
Warhammer 40k is a sci-fi tabletop war game based in the year 40,000, created by Games Workshop who are also the makers of Warhammer Fantasy and The Lord of the Rings Strategy Battle Game. The game is a hobby enjoyed by many and includes modeling and painting a full army. This allows a sort of creative freedom, letting you create your own part of a certain race. Letting you create a story for them, a color scheme and even give them names! Warhammer 40k is mainly a strategy game, you use your army and brilliant tactics to bring your foe down. There are regular competitions both for gaming and models. There are hundreds of different Games Workshop stores all around the world, and there are also many other stores that sell Warhammer 40k models too.
The database is organized in a WikiWiki structure, which allows an incredible level of interconnectedness and expansion. We started in July 2005, and the database currently includes 7,032 articles.
