This large tome is a collection of art and minutiae from the world of Games Workshop's Warhammer 40000. It includes art featured in every incarnation of the game to the point, from the very first edition in the 1980's to the latest splatbook cover art. The majority of the art is black and white, separated into very broad themes, with a handful of full-page color pieces in the center. Almost every grouping of images includes some in-universe text regarding the nature of the 41st millennium and its many factions. The quality of the artwork really runs the spectrum, but for the most part is the cream of the crop from GW's products. If you are not familiar with the world, chances are you won't get too much out of this book, but that's OK, because it's been out of print for years. Eternal War... I mean Peace. ( )
