Description
The Warhammer 40,000 Rulebook is the ultimate and essential guide to playing Warhammer 40,000 - In a savage future age, Mankind must battle for survival in a galaxy riven by destruction and bloodshed. Warhammer 40,000 is set in a time when power-armoured Space Marines and the uncountable numbers of the Imperial Guard must stand against the slavering hordes of alien warriors.
This 320-page hardback rulebook contains all the information you need to get started with Warhammer 40,000, including: full rules for fighting tabletop battles, a history of the 41st Millennium, a guide to the races and armies that can be found in the far future, and a hobby section on how to choose, collect and paint a Warhammer 40,000 army of Citadel miniatures and set-up a battlefield to fight over.
