You’ll use rulers and dice to measure distances and successes. In a given turn you will pick units to move, use psychic powers, shoot from your gunline and finally charge, and attack.
You’ll face off against an opponent with a force which could be a couple of units or a sprawling army. Warhammer 40,000 is a tabletop wargame that sees you playing battles on a tabletop, ideally with miniatures that you have built and painted yourself.Ĭurrently in its eighth edition, it is a much more streamlined game than it used to be, built around playing relatively fast objective-based matches which involve rolling a whole lot of dice, measuring distances and using your faction’s unique rules to enact synergies and tactics to best your opponent. It provides players and hobbyists alike a rich seam of fiction to draw on in order to build, paint and play with peerless models.
If you have managed to avoid its numerous video game adaptations, or its ubiquity in the tabletop miniatures scene for more than three decades, Warhammer 40,000 is Games Workshop’s flagship tabletop wargame and the sibling to the fantasy-flavoured Warhammer: Age of Sigmar.ĭesigned and manufactured in the UK, it has a different feel to many other tabletop games as it is steeped in over 30 years of fiction and world-building. Its tagline is “In the grim darkness of the future, there is only war,” which is very economic scene-setting: you engage with the game and its rich fiction by enacting miniature war on your tabletop. Warhammer 40,000 is fundamentally all about war.
