Just Curious, when was the birth date of Warhammer 40k? Warhammer Fantasy? GW?

Good question.
Warhammer 40K was originally called Rogue Trader. I believe it was out before 1992.
As for Warhammer, I believe it was released before 40K. I'm not sure the year.
Games Workshop has been around for some time. They use to have way more games. Their White Dwarf 'zine use to have articles for D&D and other role playing games as well as for their games. (I found some old issues).
I hope that I helped.

Well GW is over 25 years old. So the birth of 40K is sometime between then and now! Don't ask me Im not that old.

I think games-workshop is now 27 years old.  I remember its 25th anniversary.

I believe GW started in 1975, and they began by selling Dungeons and Dragons, until they made their own games...



Was a General of the Imperial Guard, now more of a freelance Captain sort of thing. Ish. Keeping the rank pins though, they look nice.

citadel miniatures make the mini's, games-workshop's like the official store
I carry with me an Inquisitorial Seal. It is a small, unassuming object contained in a neat box of Pluvian obsidian. It is a modest thing. Relatively plain, adorned with a single motif and a simple motto. Yet with this little object I can sign the death warrant of an entire world and consign a billion souls to Oblivion.
