A Guide To Warhammer Miniatures

Warhammer miniatures are metal and plastic models depicting the various creatures and weapons in the Warhammer Fantasy universe.

So what is Warhammer? It's a gaming system set in a Fantasy univers that allows two or more players to build armies and take go to war against one another on a tabletop battleground.

Players take it in turn to move their miniatures, strike against one another's pieces using dice to determine the outcome, and eventually one player is declared the winner.

There are many different races that can be chosen for your army, from the human forces of Bretonnia and the Empire, through the gold-loving dwarves and mystical elves, to the dark and evil forces of Chaos. Every race has its own set of miniatures, each depicting different types of soldier with their own attacks and tactics.

However, the miniatures are more than just pieces to move around the battle field. They come unpainted, and sometimes unassembled, so it's down to you to build and paint them, and at the same time inject some character into them. Choose your army's colour scheme and banners and then collect and paint your miniatures to match and you can be sure that your army will be unique.

Collecting Warhammer miniatures is a great hobby both for people interesting in playing the game and also for artists. Each miniature is packed full of detail and character, and some of the rarer miniatures can be worth a lot of money when painted to a professional standard.
