If you don't have any idea what the hell a Warhammer 40,000 is, I urge you to close your browser immediately and forget all about it. The following memes are not for you. On the other hand, if you're simply curious to learn about a new, super niche corner of the gaming world, I'll gladly offer up a bit of context.

Warhammer 40,000 is a miniature wargame that was first released way back in 1987. Using collectable miniature models (often hand-painted by hardcore fans), players role play epic battles between aliens, monsters, and humans of the future. Since its beginnings, Warhammer has gained a cult following that spans many generations. The fact that there are so many Warhammer memes circulating the internet is proof enough that the fanbase has extended to the Millennials and perhaps even Gen Z. Only time will tell.

Whether you're an avid Warhammer 40K miniature collector and lore enjoyer, or just a noob who's casually curious, we've got a bunch of nerdy content you're sure to enjoy.
