What is Warhammer?

Warhammer is a massive hobby universe created by Games Workshop that combines strategic tabletop gaming with highly detailed plastic miniatures. Players build their own armies, assemble models, customize and paint them, and then battle on the tabletop using the rules of different game systems.

Each model represents a specific unit, hero, vehicle or monster, and every army has its own playstyle, history, visual identity and tactical possibilities. Warhammer is not just about gaming – for many fans it is mainly about collecting, painting miniatures, building armies and diving deep into a huge lore universe filled with stories, conflicts and iconic characters.

The hobby is suitable for both beginners and advanced players. You can start with a small skirmish game using only a few models, or gradually build a huge army for large-scale epic battles. Warhammer also offers an enormous worldwide community, regular new editions, new models, books and an ever-expanding universe.

A huge part of the Warhammer hobby is assembling and painting the models themselves. Every miniature is made from detailed plastic parts that players glue together, customize and paint using specialized hobby paints and techniques.

You can paint according to official faction schemes or create your own completely unique style. The Warhammer hobby supports creativity, modelling skills and relaxation. For many people, painting miniatures is the main reason they fell in love with Warhammer.
