Let’s start by making this very clear: nothing compares to Warhammer 40k. I’m not a fanboy, I played the video games (sadly not the tabletop ones) and read a few books but what makes Warhammer 40000 interesting is the fact that it’s an extreme universe. It takes elements from other Sci-Fi and Fantasy universes and just feeds them steroids. Lots and lots of steroids. Imagine a huge green orc wielding a plasma pistol in one hand and a giant chainaxe in the other and yelling WAAAGH in your face. Welcome grunt, and remember: “In the grim darkness of the 41st Millennium, there is only war.“
I’ll try to give you guys a brief summary of the major players in Warhammer 40k just for reference but seriously, read the wiki. The 40k universe lore is unbelievably vast. I suggest you get yourself a drink and some snacks before heading to the 40k wiki.
Imperium of Man – yeah, us humans. The only difference is that in the 41st millenium we’re a highly xenophobic race that inhabits millions of planets. The Imperium of Man military consists of 2 major Division, the Imperial Guard and the Adeptus Astartes, also called Space Marines, genetically engineered super warriors that only live to fight the Imperium’s foes.
The Legions of Chaos – prepare for nightmares. The forces of Chaos consist of corrupted followers of the Imperium and horrifying creations of the Warp. They can be anything from hideous demons to corrupted Space Marines.
Tyranids – a biological nightmare that only lives to consume all life in the universe. Imagine the xenomorphs from the Alien movies with the hivemind and assimilation powers of the Borg.
The Eldar – space elves. Eldars are one of the oldest and most technological advanced races in the 40k universe. Many millennia ago, the Eldar ruled the universe calling themselves masters of the stars. Their overweening pride led to a cataclysm that almost eradicated their kind and led to the birth of the Chaos God Slaanesh.
Orks – are made fer fightin’ an’ winnin’. They’ve been around for as long as the Eldar and even though they’re not the smartest tool in the shed they make up for it with numbers and violence. Once in awhile they throw a WAAAGH! and blow away big chunks of the galaxy and anything that lives there.
Necrons – undead terminators. Necrons are the oldest and most dangerous race in the Warhammer 40k universe. They started the first galactic war and waged so much destruction that it resulted in the creation of the Warp. After wiping almost all intelligent life forms in the galaxy they decided to take a little nap, a 60 million years one. Now they’re back and their sole purpose is to cleanse the galaxy of all life.
There are other races in the Warhammer universe but these are biggest players around. I suggest you start reading their lores and wiki pages and pick your favourite. After that come back here and pick one of these 57 epic Warhammer t-shirts I gathered for you. And remember, the Emperor protects!

I have a t-shirt addiction, a craving for new RTS video games and a dream to become Captain America. I also grow my own beard so I'm kind of a big deal! :P
