What is Warhammer?
Warhammer is a tabletop miniature wargaming system created by Games Workshop. Players collect, build, paint, and battle with armies of detailed miniatures in fantasy (Age of Sigmar) or sci-fi (40,000) settings!
Warhammer combines collecting, modeling, painting, and strategic gaming!
What age is Warhammer suitable for?
Warhammer is recommended for ages 12+ due to hobby complexity and game rules. However, younger children can enjoy building and painting with adult supervision. The hobby appeals strongly to teenagers and adults!
Warhammer is a lifelong hobby for many enthusiasts!
What's the difference between Warhammer 40K and Age of Sigmar?
Warhammer 40,000 (40K) is set in a dark sci-fi future with space marines, aliens, and technology. Age of Sigmar is fantasy-themed with warriors, monsters, and magic. Both use similar game mechanics but different settings!
Choose based on your sci-fi or fantasy preference!
