The stories and games of ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]'' take place in a dystopic science-fantasy universe with most stories set in the last days of the 41st Millennium, over 38,000 years in the future, where [[Mankind]] has settled more than a million worlds across the known galaxy.

The following is a list of both official and unofficial resources, blogspots, and fan sites dedicated to the Warhammer 40k universe:
