It provides players and hobbyists alike a rich seam of fiction to draw on in order to build, paint and play with peerless models.
If you have managed to avoid its numerous video game adaptations, or its ubiquity in the tabletop miniatures scene for more than three decades, Warhammer 40,000 is Games Workshop’s flagship tabletop wargame and the sibling to the fantasy-flavoured Warhammer: Age of Sigmar.ĭesigned and manufactured in the UK, it has a different feel to many other tabletop games as it is steeped in over 30 years of fiction and world-building. Its tagline is “In the grim darkness of the future, there is only war,” which is very economic scene-setting: you engage with the game and its rich fiction by enacting miniature war on your tabletop. Warhammer 40,000 is fundamentally all about war.
