What is Warhammer?
Spectacular battles, extraordinary characters, and limitless creativity! Warhammer is a hugely creative hobby that encompasses a variety of tabletop games, miniatures, worlds, and stories.
With five keys to Warhammer – Collecting, Building, Painting, Playing, and Reading – how you choose to enjoy the hobby is up to you!
At the core of Warhammer are the highly detailed miniatures that represent the characters and warriors of its settings. How you form your collection is entirely up to you – muster an army for playing games, build and paint the miniatures you love, create a beautiful display, or something else entirely!
Both Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar have dedicated websites which explore the various games based in those settings, the factions that reside there, the current story, and much more! You can use any of our games and miniatures to take part in Battle Honours – read more about them at Start-Warhammer.com.
Your local Warhammer store is the best place to go for your next miniatures. The friendly staff are always happy to chat Warhammer with you and will be delighted to help you add to your collection!
Building is a hugely rewarding element of the Warhammer hobby. Whether crafting a squad of elite warriors, a colossal monster, or a towering mechanical construct, your skills will grow with practice as you bring your miniatures to life.
You can learn how to assemble miniatures here.
Painting your miniatures and taking them from bare plastic to fully realised warriors is one of the most satisfying parts of the Warhammer hobby. You can display your miniatures, use them in games, and enjoy painting as a creative and relaxing pastime.
With more than 300 paints in the range, Citadel Colour allows you to recreate iconic colour schemes you’ve seen in books, on box art, and beyond, bringing your miniatures and terrain to life.
Use your miniatures to battle against friends, family, and like-minded Warhammer hobbyists at home, local clubs, or gaming stores. There’s a Warhammer game for everyone to fit in any space, from huge battles to swift skirmishes, fantasy football games, co-op adventures, and more.
You can learn more about our most popular games at Warhammer40000.com and AgeofSigmar.com
Start-Warhammer.com has information on all the games we produce if you want to try something different.
Black Library publishes stories that bring the worlds of Warhammer to life. Novels, riveting multi-book epics, and audio dramas tell fantastic tales of action, heroism, cunning, mystery, and horror.
There are free short stories to read and get a taste of Warhammer fiction.
Plus, if you’re unsure where to start, the Black Library Quiz will help you find a first read tailored to your tastes.
