Far far into the future, towards the end of the 29,000s humanity is at its PEAK! Sentient AI, Faster than lightspeed travel, an empire spanning across the entire galaxy. But then, their AI, the Men of Iron rebel, and the human empire crumbles. But where there was no hope, the emperor of mankind emerges, with him is the thunder warriors, genetically Enhanced super soldiers. They retake earth, and prepare to reach out into the stars. However the thunder warriors were mass produced and unfit for peace, so the emperor deleted them, and made the space marines, stronger, fasters, smarter, more elite, more specialized, and to lead them, he made the primarchs, demi-gods among men. 21 primarchs, 20 legions spanning across the stars. But this wasn't gonna be easy, so he needed help. He had an idea though, so he went into the warp, basically the upside down from stranger things (keep in mind Warhammer was made in 1987, so stranger things ripped us off). All the emotions of sentient creatures, human and alien alike, made warp daemons, the most powerful are the chaos gods. The Emperor strikes a deal with them, they give him the power and knowledge to save humanity and make the primarchs. But he didn't stick around long enough to hold up his end of the bargain, and the chaos gods, are about to teach humanity they can hold a grudge. The Emperor makes his primarchs, and spreads across the stars, with his space Marines and primarchs. But chaos starts corrupting his sons, primarchs start falling farther away from the Imperium, until, the Horus Heresy, Horus Luprical, the emperor's favorite son and the war Master, and nine other primarchs fall to chaos, and wage a massive war on humanity. For centuries the two sides fight, many worlds are destroyed, several primarchs die. But after a long fought war on earth, the emperor lays his son down to rest, and the remaining traitor Marines hide into the warp. And the Emperor, wounded, both physically and emotionally by watching his two favorite sons fall. Now sits immobile on the Golden Throne, helping the imperium's fleets travel through the warp safely, with it being the only method of Faster than light travel the imperium has left. And humanity fights a desperate battle against chaos, the tyranids (space bugs dead set on eating everything), the necrons (ancient space robots who want everyone to get off their lawn), the Orks (space monsters who love to fight), the Eldar (ancient space elves who invented racism and magic) and the Tau (a young, advanced species ready to take the galaxy in the name of the greater good). For in the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war.
