Warhammer 40K The Ultimate Guide is an illustrated, 336-page encyclopedia containing a wealth of knowledge on the expansive lore of the grimdark universe, and it features some amazing miniature photography. Launched less than a week ago, Amazon has already discounted this book to just $31.53 (was $45), making it significantly less pricey than your typical faction codex. Warhammer 40K The Ultimate Guide is an excellent option for casual fans who may be experiencing the 40K universe for the first time.

An excellent resource for anyone seeking insights into the grim darkness of the far future, Warhammer 40K The Ultimate Guide is authored by Guy Haley and Gav Thorpe, prolific authors for the Black Library, the official publishing house of Warhammer 40K fiction. Inside, The Ultimate Guide details the units and characters of the factions of the 41st Millennium alongside their corresponding models but presented in an approachable, rules-free format.
