W40K

The tabletop game developed by Games Workshop in which players compete with miniature armies set in the 41st millenium. Players build up their armies from plastic boxed sets and make lists based on points value (ie a bunch of crappy guys or a few kick-butt ones). Many unique types of units exist in each race of beings, and there are 9 unique races to chose from, each with their own flavor. The game features the ability to either shoot apart the army from a distance or close in for some visceral close combat. The universe is rather dark, where humanity worships one man called the Emperor. Other beliefs means heresy, another word for 'Death Sentence'.
