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

9. Continued Evolution

Warhammer 40k
Games Workshop

For a universe full of plastic inhabitants, the 40K universe sure does change a lot. Games Workshop aren't the kind of company to sit around and let their wildly popular creation act as a cash cow. They're always tinkering away behind the scenes, updating rules, units and all other aspects of the game.

Sure, it's a marketing necessity for the company. But players benefit too. No doubt droves of fans would have deserted the game long ago if it weren't for the continued updates. The company listens to its community too, implementing rule and faction updates sure to go down well with the core market.

Of course, there is a downside to the updates. Occasionally, fun features or even entire factions are lost in the march of progress. But there will always be those in the community willing to play with old rulesets for those who truly crave that nostalgia hit.
