The Black Library | Bringing the worlds of Warhammer and Warhmmer 40,000 to life!
Getting StartedWarhammer 40,000
It is the 41st millennium. For more than a hundred centuries the Emperor has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Earth. He is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with power from the Dark Age of Technology. He is the Carrion Lord of the Imperium for whom a thousand souls are sacrificed every day, so that he may never truly die.

To be a man in such times is to be one amongst untold billions. It is to live in the cruellest and most bloody regime imaginable. These are the tales of those times. Forget the power of technology and science, for so much has been forgotten, never to be re-learned. Forget the promise of progress and understanding, for in the grim dark future there is only war.

Vostroyan
Thanks to the inhospitable climate of Vostroya, the Firstborn are trained in the most adverse of conditions.

Amidst the jutting skeletal spars of half-collapsed warehouses, the wind howling along rust-pocked alleyways, the Firstborn learn the skills of close-quarter combat and strict firing drills.

Some do not survive such a harsh regime, but those that do are proud to be counted amongst the hardiest fighters in the Imperial Guard.

Their ancient pact drives them onwards, instilling them with a stubbornness, courage and fortitude rarely seen outside the Adeptus Astartes.
