10 Reasons Warhammer 40K Is The Greatest Hobby In The World Right Now

2. The Imperium Of Man

There's a lot to like about the different 40K armies. From the psychotic forces of Chaos to the endlessly hungry Tyranid hordes, there's a murderous intergalactic empire for everyone.

But the Imperium of Man are something special. Not necessarily the strongest of funnest faction in the game, their insanely grim background makes them the perfect fit for the 40K world.

With their vast network of planets featuring all the misery and depravity in the known universe, this faction's slavish devotion to their decaying God-emperor is as horrifying as it is hilarious. It may sound harsh to laugh at this stuff, but the fate of so many miserable Imperial Troops has raised many a smile among dark humour connoisseurs. It is, after all, peak 40K grimdark.
