Its setting is a violent, cynical, and uncaring place where untold billions die each day and even more live in squalor or worse. Warhammer 40k is often cited as the origin of the “grimdark” genre. And, of course, there’s an abundance of swords. It touches on a lot of classic fantasy tropes with allegories for elves (the Aeldari), orcs (“Orks”), and wizards (known as psykers). It combines classic elements of fantasy with a violent, pessimistic future where heroic Space Marines defend the Imperium of Man against horrific Daemons, enigmatic and ancient aliens, and their own fallen Battle-brothers.

Because it contains two ready-to-go Combat Patrols (which are armies you can play out of the box without having to mess with army lists or extra units) and a larger rulebook with everything you need for 10th Edition, Combat Patrol rules, and missions, it's basically the full game packaged up with a neat little bow.
