	''"In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war.” 10,000 years ago there was war.

Indeed, as the armies of [[Chaos]], the servants of [[the Emperor]] and the [[xenos\|aliens]] fought each other, they fought for the sake of a destiny that, however faintly, could be seen.

	'''MedHammer 40,000''' is based on [[MidHammer 40,000]]. It was originally known as "MidHammer Drafts" before becoming a spin-off. The initial premise for MidHammer 40,000 was for it to be a softer version of [[grimdark]]: grimlight. Though in view of how the setting has developed, or at least how MedHammer has (see for example the Martian Heresy), that premise has turned out to be mostly [[bullshit]] and a [[fail\|failed goal.]] It's assumed that the phenomenal [[Shape of The Nightmare to Come]] is what will happen to the [[warhammer\|Warhammer universe]], more or less. Humanity will have more psychic and spiritual weapons at its disposal, rather than those talents being suppressed as in 40k.		'''MedHammer 40,000''' is based on [[MidHammer 40,000]].

Lorgar and Luther will struggle to hold their causes together, as they become surrounded by few friends and ever increasing enemies.
