Games have a maximum of 7 battle rounds; whether or not rounds 6 or 7 happen is determined by die rolls starting at the end of round 5. Each round has two player turns, each having six phases: Movement, Psychic, Shooting, Charging, Assault, and Morale. In the movement phase, the models' stats govern how far they can move and how movement affects what they can do in the subsequent phases. The moving player can also elect to Advance a model or unit, passing up the chance to shoot to move it further. Anything being held in reserve can also be potentially brought in during the movement phase, so long as all such models are deployed by the start of round 4. In the psychic phase, the attacking player attempts to use psychic powers by rolling 2D6 to meet or beat each power's casting cost, with failed rolls, "Perils of the Warp," and/or the defending player attempting to negate successful rolls factored in. During the shooting phase, dice are rolled for each weapon being fired to determine whether it hits and then whether it actually causes wounds. In the charging phase, die rolls determine whether or not a unit can move into range of a target unit to enter melee combat. In the Assault phase, units pile into each other and engage in melee combat, with the player that charged in the previous phase getting first strike and then alternating between players. As in the shooting phase, die rolls determine hits and wounds. In the morale phase, the players determine the number of models lost from each unit and, if needed, roll a D6; if the combined result is greater than the unit's max Leadership value, the unit loses a number of additional models equal to the difference. In the psychic, shooting, and assault phases, if possible, the defending player can roll for armor or invulnerable saves to attempt to negate wounds, and can potentially counterattack in the assault phase. Characteristic tests, special abilities and features unique to each faction, weapon-specific rules, terrain effects, and other such actions also influence the progress of each phase. A battle round is complete at the end of the second player's Morale phase; the process then starts over again with the next round.

In the movement Command Phase, each player receives a command point; these can be used in various ways, such as re-rolling a D6 or activating a stratagem. Also, certain model abilities are activated in this phase, and Battle Shock (a condition affecting squads that are below half their starting number of models) is resolved.

One of the major aspects of 40K, aside from the gameplay, is the actual work that goes into the miniatures. Just like a typical model kit, 40K minis come unassembled and unpainted, and it's up to the player to put in the legwork to literally build their army. The model kits come in a variety of ways, such as single blister packs or boxes that contain one model, a boxed unit, or as larger box sets that contain many models and allow the player to obtain a chunk of their army at once. Models are generally glued together piecemeal using plastic or super glue (for plastic and resin/metal, respectively), but some of the starter kits' minis are designed to be snapped together with little to no gluing needed, speeding up the building process. The kits feature a large number of ways that models can be customized, and kit-bashing models is a good way to spruce them up and to make use of spare bits lying around.
