The War in Heaven: A Galaxy Wide War. Explained | Warhammer 40k

Commissioned music by:    / @teleminomusic   In this deep dive, we peer into the origins, legacy, and lasting mystery of the War in Heaven. This ancient conflict between the Old Ones, the Necrontyr, and the star-gods known as the C’tan shaped the foundations of the galaxy long before the rise of humanity. Its outcome left scars that continue to define the structure of the Warhammer 40,000 universe, from the emergence of the Warp to the nature of many xenos races still encountered by the Imperium today. The records preserved describe a conflict of staggering scale. The Necrontyr, cursed with short lives and driven by envy, bound themselves to the C’tan through biotransference and became the Necrons, abandoning fragile flesh for immortal metal bodies. In opposition, the Old Ones, already masters of the webway and psychic manipulation, created and uplifted new species to resist the C’tan’s dominion. Their forces included the early Eldar, the engineered Krork, and countless lesser races, many of which did not survive. The war was fought across the stars with advanced weaponry, terrifying constructs, and devastating psychic power. Among its leaders stood the C’tan themselves, wielding the force of suns, while the Necron Silent King directed a campaign of attrition that eventually drove the Old Ones to ruin. The conflict was not merely martial; it was also cultural, reshaping the values, instincts, and survival patterns of the species that endured. In the archives of the Adeptus Administratum and the Adeptus Mechanicus, the War in Heaven is preserved through fragmented records. These describe the Necrons’ calculated wars of extermination, the Old Ones’ reliance on proxy species, and the collapse of entire stellar networks. Battles such as the fall of Old One bastions, the proxy wars fought through Krork and proto-Eldar, and the spread of the Enslaver plague are recorded as key moments in galactic history. For the Mechanicus, the technological echoes of these conflicts provide both inspiration and danger, as recovered Necron artifacts and ancient ruins continue to challenge the limits of human understanding. The Administratum, meanwhile, frames the war as an essential prelude to the long cycle of destruction that defines the Imperium’s view of xenos hostility. From the perspective of the Inquisition, the War in Heaven is not only history but also a warning. Ordo Xenos records speak of anomalies in time, sealed accounts of Necron activity resembling echoes of the original war, and evidence of Enslaver resurgence tied to psychic outbreaks. The Ordo Malleus treats the Enslaver crisis as one of the earliest warp-borne plagues, one that may return under the right conditions. Within Ordo Hereticus reports, suppressed files suggest the possibility of ancient species surviving in hidden refuges, their legacy masked by millennia of silence. Inquisitorial thought views the War in Heaven as an unresolved phenomenon, one that demonstrates both the limits of material power and the recurring danger of psychic escalation.
