If you’re not a huge Warhammer hobbyist yourself, it’s likely you at least know someone who’s obsessed with either Warhammer, Warhammer Age of Sigmar, Warhammer 40,000 — or all three tabletop miniature war games. Beginning with the first official rule book’s release in 1983, the world of tabletop war games took a sharp turn — from dining room table battles with bland lead soldiers and later plastic toys, to an epic enchanted world of medieval warfare touched with intriguing otherworldly elements. Exciting gameplay, intricate strategizing, fascinating tabletop designs, and some of the best Warhammer accessories available today make Warhammer an addictively exciting group game that takes gaming off of the screen and into the physical world. Best of all, the actual gameplay is only the rich dessert after the delicious meal. A huge part of the wonder of Warhammer is everything that leads up to the game itself, including collecting literal armies of detailed miniatures to paint and personalize, growing your gaming environment, and adding some of the best Warhammer accessories to your collection to make Warhammer a hobbyist’s holy grail.
