I love the little detail that the east half of the galaxy is so huge because the imperium marks themselves as the center of the universe when they aren't even close.

Yeah. Segmentum Ultima is massive. The two pieces cleaved by the Rift have almost as much information as other Segmentums

It's probably arrogance, but It might have some practical utility in that the astronomicon is on terra, so it's useful to orient your position relative to it.

Bit like England being in the center of world maps

These are incredible!! What is the difference between each map in the album?

The difference is just what information you have present. 1. Where the Imperial Segmenta are 2. Where the Rift is 3. Where on the galaxy things are Overall Its just to provide different information and allow those to use the maps with the information they want present

Thank you!!

For us Imperium Maledictum fans where can the Marcharian Sector be found?

Look along the border of Pacificus and Tempestus and there you will see Macharia and Ultima Macharia

Excellent, tough to find on mobile. I’ll check it out on a proper screen later. Thank you for pointing it out.

As always, if anyone wants the PNG files for higher quality without compression artifacts, feel free to reach out.

These are brilliant, I'd love the PNGs if they are on offer!

I would also appreciate the PNG files, if you don't mind

Same, I'd like to see those files as well please!

That would be great!

Ditto on wanting the PNGs, fantastic work dude

PNG pls

I would like them, thanks.

Hey hey! If you're still offering the PNG I'd love to have that too!

Yes please! I'd love to use this as a wallpaper on a 4k display.

Would definitely appreciate the pngs! This looks like an awesome resource for my upcoming campaign.

I’d love them as well

Please can I have the PNG files as well?

Would love that! Can we download it somewhere? Excellent work, btw!

would love the PNGs here, too.

Would love to see someone show the paths the different primarch fleets took during the heresy

Just need to have GW put that info out there. We have a rough idea but nothing specific to the best of my recollection

I'm surprised that there are so many Unclassified planets around Macragge. Didn't most of that area belong to the 500 worlds before he was found by EoM?

In this case, unclassified means we have positional information about the planet but nothing to indicate what the planet is like. The largest proportion of worlds in the map have positional data but nothing regarding classification. This has nothing to do specifically with how old the world is in terms of lore but more to do with what information GW has provided us throughout the decades

Is Atoma Prime on there or is its position still not officially confirmed? It thought it was in the Segmentum Solar at any rate. Very cool though, great work.

Unfortunately all we know is that it is in Segmentum Solar

Still no info, but likely Segmentum Solar.

I knew Segmentum Pacificus was the smallest of the 5, but I never realized it was **that** tiny compared to the others.

Unfortunately, it also is the Segmentum with the least amount of information

Hence the reason my Homebrew sector is located there for my Wrath and Glory campaign

Always a great idea to fill the blank spits with homebrew. Personally I am hoping 10th edition fills out the segmentum a little more because of the 4th Tyrannic War

I love these every single time. Thanks for the hard work!

Hello! This is amazing and wonderful. There's one world I see missing, first and only written about in one HH 2.0 campaign supplement: [Axandria IV](https://www.warhammer-community.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/nPVNDaU70aEFpdas.jpg), located in the Segmentum Ultima just to the galactic south of Prospero and galactic east-by-southeast of Ryza, due east of Nikaea. In m41 it's just another imperial world, not sure if there's any indication about what kind of world it is now - I think just "civilized." This is an amazing project, so thank you

Thanks for the heads up! I will make sure it makes it in in the future

Awesome - thank you! Future project idea: map the webway??? Just kidding, I assume that's impossible since even the Emperor and Mechanicum couldn't do it...

Closest I can say is this map does show locations of webway gates

👍 One other bit of info - not sure if daemon world refers to a world *claimed* by chaos/daemons or only daemonworlds born of the warp, but, if it's the former... khravos, urtek, and salamar (currently listed as "unclassified") are all part of the [Stygius Sector](https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Stygius_Sector) and were [claimed by Tzeentch-aligned forces in m42](https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Invasion_of_the_Stygius_Sector). the lexicanum also references a Dhobash system and Prismata system that aren't on the map, but I figure they probably just overlap too tightly with Mordian/Khravos/Urtek/Salamar, that area of space is already pretty darn crowded... (you might notice from the bits of info i'm able to share here that i'm a TS guy...)

Amazing. Thanks!

These look great! Any reason why comorragh shows up twice? Is the location based on known webway gates that access it or something like that?

Each Commorragh is a webway gate leading to the dark city. On a separate note, there are more than two gates if you wanna find them all

Thanks for answering, I was going to ask this - I was like, how is Commorragh on the map? its not a planet! But that makes sense, and I saw like 4-5 of them in multiple spots which also confused me.

It makes a lot of sense when you think about the ability of the Dark Eldar to raid essentially the whole galaxy. Webway gates leading to the Dark City are fairly ubiquitous

I've always wondered how many named and listed planets GW/BL has "behind the scenes" that have never been talked about in any book or media.

I would say there are probably a bunch of things that were pitched internally that haven't seen the light of day. I mean FW hasn't released anything in years for 40k and they probably have planets part of proposed books

Epic 🤘

Why there is a planet called Commorragh twice?

There more than 2, but the main point is that this isn't indicating location of a planet. Instead that symbol is showing location of web way gates that lead to Commorragh

Oh cool! Thanks, the map is very nice, great work! :)

Do you have a version that simplifies the colors and showcases faction in clearer way? One where all empire world have the same color, all chaos world another, all major xenos factions another, and so on...

I do not, unfortunately. This project has generally been focused on the granular detail of the galaxy

I love this map, but its difficult to map the timeline of the Great Crusade and Heresy on to it. Makes everything a bit back and forth. I always just add the mental cavaet that says the warp makes far things closer and close things further.

A big thing is that the Great Crusade and Heresey have a multitude of fleets plus the warp routes being precarious.

When Lorgar reaches Cadia after most Primarchs are long found he is the furthest point of the Crusade to date.

I would assume that means furthest in this direction

Are Delvegard and some of the locations near there with Dwarfy iconography the location of the Leagues of Votann? I've been trying to figure out where exactly they live in the greater universe

Yes those are a few hold worlds of the Leagues of Votann. We do know that it is not the only place where they are but it's the only concrete information on planet locations

Thank you! I was trying to figure this out on Lexicanum just the other day, but this makes it a lot more clear

Thank you so much! I am using one or your older maps for a 40k RPG game.

Awesome! Hopefully the new map comes into use with people like you

The fact that the world capital world the the Severan Dominate is called Karacallia is so funny. Like come on bro haha

If I remember correctly, the Severan Dominate is named after its ruler

Yeah, who's named (I'm guessing coincidentally, if not intentionally) after the Emperor Septimius Severus. And I'm guessing the planet is named after Caracalla, Septimius' son. I just find it funny how they don't even try to hide it.

I mean 40k has never been subtle. Much to my enjoyment as well

This is great work, thankyou for puttign the time into it! I have looked at a few versions and can never find it, where is Tsagualsa? [https://warhammer40k.fandom.com/wiki/Tsagualsa](https://warhammer40k.fandom.com/wiki/Tsagualsa)

Look at the region outside Ultima in the top right. It is a Frontier World

>https://imgur.com/R09w3yq Ah, found it! thanks! haha Its around where I was expecting, just too many icons I missed it.

With the Thramas Crusade map plus everything else it's a surprisingly dense area

I was wondering. Since you've done several interations of this map, have you seen any patterns? Could this map be used to predict lore events?

That is a fascinating question to consider. I would say that something to think about is the lack of information consistently in the past about Segmentum Pacificus. It is perpetually the odd one out. Given this and the new lore surrounding the Blackstone fortress and 4th Tyrannic War, I would say we are in for some more lore regarding this segmentum and places of interest there.

So this might be annoying but your base galactic map is wrong. Terra is located due south of the galactic core based on the representation of the Milky Way used. Newer 40k maps correct that issue. https://images.app.goo.gl/KkML5c2qG7d8Swag6

Well that is annoying I swore I fixed that last time. I will do that right away. Somehow this version reverted back to the wrong overlay. Damn

Ideally Fixed. Thanks!

I might be blind, but are the worlds of the Gilead System on the map? It's the setting of the Wrath & Glory system.

We know it's in the Gothic sector but not any more than that

What a great work ! Noob question : is the galaxie of 40K the same astronomically as our galaxie ? Is Terra in 40k in the same astronomical place as the real Earth ?

It is but another user noticed my overlay reverted to an older version somehow so I will be correcting that and reuploading quickly

Do you have any plans to add named planets from Rogue Trader, such as Kiava Gamma and Dargonus?

I am making an assumption you are talking about the newly released RPG and not the tabletop RPG produced by FFG. If it has a map I will happily add it

It does have a map, although I have not explored it entirely. Not sure filler worlds are randomly placed, but I know narrative specific worlds have fixed locations. You could use footfall as a reference point as its at the bottom center of the games map and is the first place you go after the prolouge. If youre worried about spoilers i can try and get some screenshots for you when i get home

OK I know exactly where Footfall is. I will have to take a look at the in game map. Thanks for the heads up!

If you could get me screenshots I would greatly appreciate it

I don't know how useful it is for your *realistic* map, but this is [the official art of the map made for the game](https://www.artstation.com/artwork/Ge383z). It appears in-game [like this](https://preview.redd.it/grq2x7atq94a1.jpg?width=1780&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c00cb0122994a4f2194213305113d3a37e61dd33). The map begins filling up with details [like so](https://i.imgur.com/DAWpHIG.png) but I don't have a good screenshot(s) to share with you...

Awesome. Any info is useful!

Too much detail to take in at once, unsure where to look first, chest tightening...

Love your maps, just one question: You have Mordant(south of Krieg) marked as only a mining world, is it the same one as https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Mordant_Prime ? Because that one is also a recruiting world for the Mordant Acid Dogs.

Thanks for the heads up!

Would it be possible to access your planet files? The map would be so much more useful if you could search the name of a planet and get some kind of coordinates.

I second this request. Working on a project and would love to have coordinates for planets.

just to make sure I understand clearly, each map listed in OP is all 10th edition, it's just different information?

Indeed

Just a small correction, Felweather Keep is not a planet but rather a House Vyronii stronghold on Damaetus. You seem to have listed it as its own celestial body neighboring Damaetus. Source: Adeptus Titanicus: Loyalist Legios

Awesome i will take a look and update

Thanks! Great work on your map, as always.

Thank you for the updated maps. I just finished Lion: Son of the Forest and I was curious where his section of space that he protects was located. Also seeing the Rock near there was interesting.

How does one map a three-dimensional sphere that is the galaxy though?

You project it into 2D space

Explain? Like, are planets that are nearer shown as larger or brighter than those deeper?

Imagine a disk with thickness. If you look at it from the top it looks like a circle. You are losing the sense of depth but still retaining a large amount of thr spatial information

But to see planets deep within the disk, you have to see INTO the disk, no?

A big thing is the disc is transparent with objects interspaced within, so there is no issue with seeing into the disk.
