Who can tell me about the background development history of hammer 40K?

Warhammer 40000 (Warhammer 40000 or Warhammer 40K) is a table chess game produced by the British game company Games Workshop.

history

The first edition of Warhammer 40000 was originally published in 1987.

The background and rules of the game were designed by Rick priestley.

Some elements of the game, such as bolters or Dreadnaught, can be found in a game called "Laserburn" made by desktop games.

The original version (Thief Merchant) is a game with the theme of small-scale fighting, and the composition of arms is determined by dice.

The second edition was published in 1993, and won the original award of 1993 for the best miniature model rule.

This version and subsequent development were edited by Andy Chambers.

The pictures and shapes of the game are provided by John Blanche, artistic director of Games Workshop, and Jes Goodwin, creator.

The core of the game is to fight with soldiers, vehicles and creatures represented by 28 mm miniature models.

The whole theme of the game is science fiction.

Over the years, Warhammer 40000 has been constantly expanding and perfecting, and sometimes other content will be added to the same background game.

The game itself

summary

Warhammer 40000 Fourth Edition Rule Book Cover Each player must build an army composed of units represented by models from official competitions (see the introduction below).

The rules for establishing an army are provided by a rule book, and the unique rules of each race need a corresponding code (Codex), and some races have more than one code.

collect

This interest is quite expensive even for loyal players.

There is a joke circulating in the comments of the game: "This game is called Warhammer 40K because you have to spend so much money on it." New players generally spend 150 to buy a medium-sized army (1000-2000 army points in the game), including rule books and paintings.

An ordinary single bag costs at least 8 pounds, while the price of a suit will be set at around 100 pounds because of the content.

But on ebay, you can find many works (some even paintings) that are relatively cheap and have good appearance.

manufacture

All the models are drawn and collected by the players themselves. Players usually make their own paints and signs and use things that already exist in books.

Players can also use other tools to modify their own models (commonly known as Bitz), or use existing materials to make simple changes.

These modifications are usually displayed in competitions and used in competitions.

Terrain is also an important part of the game. Although Games Workshop provides an official terrain template, many players like to make their own terrain.

Ordinary household coke cans, coffee cups or polystyrene foam can be made into buildings and ruins with only a little time and technology.

status

In September 2004, the 4th edition of Warhammer 40K was put into use.

The core rules are contained in a large set of rules books, while Codices has separate rules.

June 5438 +2005 10, only the rules of the space marine corps were upgraded to the fourth edition.

In July 2008, the 40k rulebook was upgraded to the 5th edition. The first 5th edition rulebook still belongs to the Space Marine Corps and was released in June 2008.

At present, the rules of the information piece Apocalypse of Warhammer 40K are being released. In the Apocalypse, the player will command the legendary Titan to fight with the Air Force, with more than 3,000 points.

background

The background of Warhammer 40000 is mostly Gothic science fiction.

The core element of the game, which is also the most popular element, is the space marine corps, the elite warrior of the human empire, and the future knight in the dystopian and backward universe.

The game itself is a branch of Warhammer Fantasy, which contains many elements of the original game except magic.

Warhammer 40000 is inspired by many materials, including science fantasy, horror fantasy TV movies, famous fantasy writers, medieval, baroque, surreal art and famous historical background (such as World War II, Victorian Britain, Roman Empire, Nazi Germany and Soviet Union).

The battlefield of the game is divided into two parallel worlds:

For copying and pasting your Baidu Encyclopedia, I said I was under a lot of IQ pressure.

I don't like typing very much I haven't played the earliest picture of Warhammer 40k. After that, the supernatural storm temporarily ended. I thought about the architecture of warcraft 3, but I didn't have the equipment. The winter offensive is similar to a mental storm. I like to turn over Warhammer 2 Dawn of War several times. The combat system is better and can be equipped. After that, the feeling of soaring is not as good as before. Level 30, all main tasks. When it comes to punishment, many things have been changed. Warhammer 2 is a combination of the previous Warhammer supernatural storm. Not only can equipment be dropped, but also soldiers can be summoned by occupying strongholds. And every race has battles, but the battles are the same (map), but the enemy has changed, the level of 10 is a little less, and there are too few battles. This is not a history of development. I don't know. If you want to play, I'll give you some advice.

Questioning me means I'm playing with the rise of chaos. I'm a pure duck and I haven't fallen. Angelo and I went to the station, and there seem to be several endings.

The answer is yes.

Innocent and 5 o'clock are holy, 5- 15 seems to be going to fight for atonement, and then 15 will go to chaos.
