Review: A must-have for fans and newcomers alike - As someone who’s been fascinated by the Warhammer 40,000 universe for years, this Ultimate Guide completely blew me away. It’s not just a reference book — it’s a deep dive into the lore, history, and art of the 40K universe.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I can my find words for how good this book is for Warhammer fans
*by P***E on 11 January 2025*

When it comes to DK books this is one of the best. Suitable for all Warhammer fans of any age - be they painters or gamers - this has to be a must for their bookshelf. Like all DK books it’s set out in such an accessible format for everyone, it goes into so much detail and includes so many models it’s unreal. I couldn’t even count how many models this covers across so many Warhammer factions. Every page is inspirational for a Warhammer fan to look at and certainly for painters it will be inspirational. The artwork generally is stunning. In terms of the make up of the book it is a heavy weight hardback with a stunning cover. It has over 300+ pages and the paper and printing is of exceptional quality. I cannot recommend the book enough. Unfortunately my “son-in-law” managed to end up with two copies because some how his dad and I missed that we had both bought him one. We have no idea how. My copy was easiest to return so that has been done, with no issues at all. If you are a Warhammer fan and are wondering whether to get this book, procrastinate no longer and simply do it. You will not be disappointed! 😁
