So it’s toy soldiers? Is it just for kids? If you go into a Games Workshop store, you’re very likely to see large Warhammer battlegrounds set up in the shop, usually beautifully modelled to resemble real landscapes. Its science fiction spin-off, Warhammer 40,000, has proved phenomenally popular with its armies of Space Marines, war machines and vicious alien hordes. In its lifetime the game has gone through several editions, tweaking rules and adding new units and creatures for players to deploy in their armies. Unlike a board game, where players’ moves are restricted to defined areas, Warhammer commanders freely manoeuvre their units set distances using rulers and resolve shooting and hand-to-hand combat by rolling dice. Players collect forces of miniature plastic models, all with different stats and abilities, and use them to play out clashes on a tabletop battlefield. Warhammer is a tabletop battle game which puts players in command of armies of valiant humans, noble elves, savage orcs or a variety of twisted and monstrous creatures. So what has changed, and why did Games Workshop bring the curtain down on their iconic world of fantasy warfare? Warhammer: Age of Sigmar is a complete overhaul of the game’s rules and fictional background. Now the company has unveiled the game’s new incarnation. In its 32-year history the tabletop game of fantasy battles has provided a gateway into gaming for generations of players, and it remains one of the most recognisable franchises in the industry.īut creator Games Workshop recently brought the game’s three decades of bloodshed and battle to a close, destroying the Warhammer world in a cataclysmic in-game event known as the End Times.
I f you’re remotely interested in strategy gaming, you’ve probably heard of Warhammer.
