Warhammer is a tabletop miniature wargame created by Games Workshop. It encompasses several distinct settings, including the grimdark science fiction universe of Warhammer 40,000 and the high fantasy world of Warhammer Age of Sigmar.
The game involves players assembling and painting miniature models representing fantastical armies, then battling against each other according to a set of rules and scenarios.
Warhammer 40,000 (often abbreviated as 40K) is set in the far future, where humanity is locked in a perpetual state of war against various alien species and supernatural entities. The setting is characterized by its dark and dystopian themes, with massive armies clashing across the galaxy.
Factions in Warhammer 40,000 include the noble Space Marines, the sinister forces of Chaos, the ancient Eldar, the brutal Orks, and many more.
Warhammer Age of Sigmar is set in the Mortal Realms, a series of interconnected dimensions where epic battles between gods, monsters, and mortals rage on. The setting features a rich tapestry of mythology, magic, and heroic deeds.
Factions in Warhammer Age of Sigmar include the noble Stormcast Eternals, the savage Orruks (Orcs), the mystical Sylvaneth, and the undead legions of Nagash.
Warhammer miniatures are finely detailed plastic models that represent the various units and characters in the game. Players assemble, customize, and paint these miniatures to create their own unique armies.
Games Workshop produces a wide range of miniatures for Warhammer, including infantry, vehicles, monsters, and terrain pieces.
Warhammer gameplay involves strategic movement, tactical positioning, and decisive combat. Players use a combination of dice rolls, rules knowledge, and army composition to outmaneuver and defeat their opponents.
Tactics can vary greatly depending on the faction and army composition. Some armies excel at long-range shooting, while others rely on brute strength and close combat prowess.
The Warhammer community is vibrant and passionate, with players from around the world coming together to share their love for the hobby. Whether it's discussing army lists, sharing painting tips, or organizing tournaments, there's always something happening in the Warhammer community.
