Portal:Warhammer/Intro

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welcome to the Warhammer Portal!

Warhammer is a table-top miniatures game produced by Games Workshop. The game depicts combat between the armies of the fictional Warhammer universes using 28 mm scale (approximately 1:65) miniature figurines which represent soldiers, fighting Gods, creatures and vehicles of war. The rules of the game have been published in a series of books, which describe how to move miniatures around the game surface and simulate combat in a balanced and fair manner. Games may be played on any appropriate surface, although the standard is a 6 ft by 4 ft tabletop decorated with model scenery in scale with the miniatures. There are also Role-play and other versions of Warhammer,most notably, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay and other countless spin-offs.
