Get the warhammer 40,000 mug.Possibly the best science fiction universe ever, it all started with the table top game and later grew into an elaborate futuristic setting. The table top game can easily be summed up as "wallet-rape" as a ten man squad of space marines costs thirty five dollars American.
The setting is around the year 40,000 and there is only war. chaos is the biggest threat to humanity and has caused the loss of most knowledge, humanity is in a dark age of sorts, and they worship machines like gods. technology is kept running by a cult: the machine cult of mars. who produce techpriests who utilize mechanical augmentation because flesh is a weakness.
the emperor a man who stuck down horous, the chaos war master who lead the first black crusade. is encased in a golden throne that will sustain him for eternity and he is treated like a god.
that was a brief over view of the emperium all the other races and people and everything else's information fills novels and codexs.

Get the Warhammer Ripoff mug.Warhammmer 40,000 is a tabletop strategic game, which means that people collect little plastic and metal miniatures, paint them and use them for a game, just like a 3-in-1 hobby. These battles are played by at least 2 persons, together with a bunch of dice, yardsticks, rulebooks and the like. Each miniature has its own profile. The players organise their armies into HQ-units, troops, elites, fast attack, and heavy support and fight for about a couple of hours. Kinda like online gaming, but then in real.
The story goes about that thirty-eight thousand years in the future, the mighty Imperium of Man has spread across the galaxy, to discover that the galaxy is a hell that would make Hieronymous Bosch shit himself in terror, and that it has a hell. From without, the Imperium is assailed by alien monsters from the depths of space, nightmare death-machines and soulless daemons; from within, treachery, heresy, mindless incompetence and the festering taint of Chaos threaten to tear it apart.
Warhammer 40,000 is not a happy place. Rather than just being Darker And Edgier, it paints itself black and hurls itself over the edge. The basic premise of 40k, as far as it can be summed up, is that of an eternal, impossibly vast conflict between a number of absurdly powerful aliens and the like. The basic weapon of a human Space Marine is a fully automatic armour-piercing grenade launcher.
The 40k universe is a spectacularly brutal playground of tropes and horrible things taken to their absolute extreme. The Imperium is protected by two different armies: the superhuman Space Marines and the massive armies of the Imperial Guard. Trillions of soldiers in its regular armies take disregard for human life further than most people could believe possible. A futuristic space Inquisition ruthlessly hunts down anyone with even a hint of the taint of the heretic, the mutant, or the alien. There's a Bug Swarm trying to eat everything in the galaxy, a light-years wide hole in reality through which countless daemons and corrupted daemon-powered super-soldiers periodically attempt to destroy the universe. Everywhere you go, there's the dumbass greenskinned Ork species that's infesting every corner of the galaxy and cheerfully trying to kill everything else in the galaxy because it's literally hard-wired into their genetic code.
And that is just the tip of the iceberg. Warhammer 40k is generally played by people of 12-30 years old, but those that have Warhammer as a hobby are mostly described by others as geeks, nerds or retards. That’s all prejudging. Most people don’t even know where they are talking about. The only thing that sucks is that the stores that sell Warhammer (Games Workshop mainly) are raping their customers because they ask £20, €30 or $40 for about fifteen plastic warriors or one tank.

Because of this gamer melting pot, the chat on non-RP servers generally consists of a WoW fanboy trolling the WAR fanboys or people bitching about the latest patches. Common complaints:

Get the Warhammer Age of Reckoning mug.Warhammer is a fantasy game that is the very definition of Geek. Instead of having a life, your at home painting and customizing little figures, that are really friggin' expensive. 60 dollars for 8 PLASTIC figures. So, staying up til' 3 in the morning playing with figures when your 21 is a major turn-off for girls. That's why some guys I know don't have a girlfriend yet, and probably never will unless they stop playing playing with that crap. And if your an adult reading this, this is exactly like dungeons and dragons, so it is not by any terms "cool". Some people say "who cares if its geeky, play it if you want to" While yes, thats true, people will seriously think you are nerdy, and that will damage your appearance with the "in crowd" Plus, while you could be learning how to play the guitar or drums during the summer, your in a shop with a bunch of geeks throwing plastic models and dice at each other.
COOL PERSON: Hey, whats up? Do you wanna go to that Mikey's party tonight?
WARHAMMER GEEK: Aw, sorry. I got to paint my army and fight my arch rival. I just got this new dodron piece. wanna check it out? and then I can tell you about my adventures!!
COOL PERSON: Uh, nah, thats okay man, Im fi-
WARHAMMER GEEK: So this one time, Captain armpit was up against three death droids. I thought I was gonna lose, but captain armpit used his butt-laser, and totally saved the army. And this other time, I-
COOL PERSON: Uh, sorry, I gotta go. *quickly walks back towards his car*
That was the first and last time the WARHAMMER GEEK was ever invited to party.
