Released May 2014
Pages 480
Preceded by Warhammer 40,000 6th Edition Rulebook
Followed by Warhammer 40,000 8th Edition Rulebook


Warhammer 40,000 7th Edition Rulebook is the 7th core rulebook for the Warhammer 40,000 game. Unlike previous rulebooks, this edition was presented as three separate volumes.

The 7th edition of Warhammer 40,000 saw Games Workshop finally advance major events in the storyline with the War Zone Damocles, War Zone Fenris, and Gathering Storm campaign books.

7th edition was the final iteration of the rules for Warhammer 40,000 originally laid out in the 3rd edition core rulebook; in June 2017 it was superseded by the Warhammer 40,000 8th Edition Rulebook, which provided a major overhaul of the rules.

General Structure

The 7th Ed Rulebook was sold as 3-books package in a single sleeve:

  • The Rules, a 208 page book containing all the rules for playing games of Warhammer 40,000.[1]
  • Dark Millennium, a 128 pages book exploring the history of the 41st Millennium; it describes the crumbling Imperium of Man and their many enemies, within and without, which wage war against humanity and each other.[1]
  • A Galaxy of War, a 144 pages book exploring the art of collecting and painting your own force of miniatures.[1]

Notes

The Horus Heresy

Up until 2017, The Horus Heresy was dubbed as "a supplement for Warhammer 40,000"[3], and was played using the rules found in the Warhammer 40,000 Rulebook, with some modifications.[2] To account for the discontinuation of the 7th Edition rulebook, a dedicated rulebook titled Horus Heresy: Age Of Darkness Rulebook, was published in 2017.[4]
