Warhammer is a miniature strategy game created in 1983 where players lead armies into battle. It takes place in worlds of heroic fantasy or science fiction, with armies that can include elves, dwarves, orcs, space marines, and more. Players position and move miniatures on a large game board and use dice to resolve actions, with the goal of defeating the opposing army in strategic combat. Beyond being a game, Warhammer has also become a lifestyle and artistic hobby for many players who enjoy crafting and painting detailed miniature figures.
