and at least as crammed full of rumours, distorted legends and half-truths. Let's put it another way: anything with a 40K logo on it is as official as any Codex. Or a rumour that may or may not have any truth behind it. Or it was a legend that may well have happened. if it has the 40K logo on it, it exists in the 40K universe. Here's our standard line: Yes it's all official, but remember that we're reporting back from a time where stories aren't always true, or at least 100% accurate.

Here are a few statements from the writers of 40KвЂ™s lore, talking about how there is no binding canon to keep it all straight:

Unlike Star Wars, Halo, Starcraft, Transformers, Gundam, Mass Effect, or the many other science fiction stories out there that have a set canon (or multiple canons, as Star Wars, Transformers, and Gundam can attest) Warhammer 40K, according to its writers, does not have a set canon. The main problem with 40K lore is that it does not have a set canon. And finally, why Games Workshop itself is holding back the series from its full potential. Now, I will delve deeper into this topic, and give the reasons why I donвЂ™t care much for Warhammer 40KвЂ™s lore, and why I have problems with some of its fans. My first part talked about the main premise of Warhammer 40K, the influences that gave rise to its many factions, and the reasons why I didnвЂ™t see it as the most powerful science fiction series in modern times, in contrast to the legions of fans who hail it as such.
