In the vast mythology of Warhammer 40,000, some figures live longest in the imagination before they are given form. This week, Games Workshop granted physical existence to Commissar Cain — a character who had spent years as a beloved legend of the franchise's expanded novels yet remained absent from the tabletop itself. The release is a quiet acknowledgment that a universe's truest icons are shaped as much by the stories told around them as by the rules written for them.
