In an effort to quell this fighting and bring unity to his people, the Silent King, ruler of the Necrontyr, declared war on the Old Ones. As they grew, their civilization began to struggle with infighting, the various dynasties of the Necrontyr made petty war with each other.
The ancient Necrontyr were a short lived race that began to build their own galactic empire. Shortly after The Old Ones begin to colonize the milky way galaxy, another race makes their presence known. The Warp is an immaterial realm of pure energy composed of the same stuff as souls, basically the aetherius, and psykers can tap into this energy to manifest psychic power in reality. The Old Ones are powerful psykers, meaning they can use their minds to manifest what is known as the Warp. 65 million years ago, shortly after the milky way galaxy was formed, a race known simply as “The Old Ones” began to nurture life across the galaxy. The War in Heaven - We start our story at the very, very beginning. I will, to the best of my ability, summate the entire Warhammer 40k timeline as briefly as humanly possible to give any newcomer to the franchise a solid basis in the lore of the grim darkness of the far future. To put things in perspective, there are still books being written about a seven year period 12,000 years before the 42nd millennium, which is, for lack of a better term, the “present.” The grim and dark world of "Warhammer 40k" is vast, and getting into the lore of the series can present a real challenge for many new players. It’s a living, breathing world, and events are constantly occurring and status quos changing all throughout the "40k" timeline.
I say this because "Warhammer 40k" isn’t a story, not a proper one with a beginning, middle, and end. He suggested that I write a summary of the "Warhammer 40k" story for newcomers to the franchise, a feat I have in the past deemed nearly impossible.
As a longtime writer for TechNews and one of the founders of the IIT "Warhammer 40k" Club, I have been issued a challenge by none other than our Editor-in-Chief Dan Marten.
