Warhammer 40,000

Warhammer 40,000 is the defining miniature wargame of the modern era, set in the 41st millennium, a science fantasy universe of perpetual war where humanity's crumbling Imperium fights for survival against alien races, daemonic forces, and enemies from within. Games Workshop launched 40K in 1987 and has built it into the most widely played miniature wargame in the world, sustained by four decades of expanding lore, faction development, and one of the most dedicated hobbyist communities in gaming.

The faction depth is unmatched. Space Marines, Chaos Space Marines, the Aeldari, the Orks, the Tyranids, the Necrons, the T'au, the Imperial Guard, and dozens of other armies each represent years of design investment. They each have distinct playstyles, aesthetic identities, and narrative histories that make army selection feel genuine and meaningful. The hobby dimension is equally rich: 40K miniatures are among the most detailed plastic kits ever produced, and the painting and modeling culture around the game is as vibrant as the competitive scene.

Noble Knight carries current 40K releases alongside older edition codexes, army books, boxed sets, and the metal and resin sculpts from earlier eras that collectors actively seek. When editions change, this cycle older materials into our used inventory regularly, making Noble Knight a reliable source for players and collectors working across every era of the game's long history.

Vintage Rogue Trader era products (1987-1993) are highly collectible. Product listings clearly indicate edition.
No, Warhammer 40K 9th Edition codexes are not compatible with 10th Edition rules. Games Workshop released 10th Edition in June 2023 with completely new core rules and army rules, making all 9th Edition codexes obsolete for matched play. On 10th Edition release, Games Workshop provided free digital datasheets for all factions, allowing players to use their armies immediately without purchasing new books. 10th Edition Codexes are releasing gradually throughout the edition's lifecycle; these new codexes supersede the free index cards. Miniatures themselves remain compatible; you can use any 40K miniature in 10th Edition using current rules. Noble Knight clearly marks products by edition. 9th Edition materials retain value as lore references and for players still running 9th Edition games.
