In the grim darkness of the far future, there is now… comfort? It appears so. The Warhammer 40,000 universe, a setting defined by its endless war and existential dread, is now available as a soft, cosy blanket.
Retailer Merchoid has listed an officially licensed Warhammer 40,000 Galaxy Blanket, offering a map of the Imperium’s troubled space for fans to drape over a sofa or bed.
The product, officially licensed by Games Workshop, features the iconic and stylised map of the Warhammer 40,000 galaxy. Familiar locations such as the Eye of Terror, the Segmentum Solar (home to Holy Terra), and the realm of Ultramar are all visible amidst the swirling galactic design.
According to the product information, the blanket is made from a “soft, high-quality fabric” and is “generously sized.” The images provided show it used as both a bedspread and a throw, suggesting it’s large enough to wrap up in during a painting marathon, a roleplaying session, or while working through the latest Black Library novel.
This move into lifestyle products is part of a larger, ongoing trend for major geek franchises. While Warhammer devotees are well-accustomed to spending their thrones on miniatures, rulebooks, and video games, the increasing availability of items like blankets and other homewares signifies the brand’s growing mainstream cultural footprint.
With the holiday season now firmly on the horizon, the blanket is clearly positioned as a potential Christmas gift for the Warhammer fan who seems to have everything else from the grim dark setting.
The Warhammer 40,000 Galaxy Blanket is currently available to order directly from Merchoid.
