 Warhammer is a game of fantasy battles in which the
players paint large armies of model soldiers and then use them to play
out battles against each other. The player who inflicts the most
casualties is most often the winner. The game simulates movement,
combat, shooting and magic spells with a system of game turns, phases
and die rolls. There is plenty of opportunity for strategy, tactics and
luck. The game also opens the gates of a complete hobby where you will
want to collect and paint a lot of models. The game is produced by Games Workshop,
a British games company that also sells several other games (including
the similar Warhammer 40,000). Games Workshop also publishes a monthly
magazine called White Dwarf that has a lot of invalueable information
for any Warhammer player. Warhammer is currently in its 6th edition and
it is wise to check that any supplements or models bought are
compatible with these latest rules. |
