Armies of Warhammer

Armies of Warhammer are components of the table-top games Warhammer Fantasy Battle and Warhammer 40,000. The armies have been defined into a separate "army list," and they are described in more detail in the Army Book or "Codex". Players of either game, or their spin-offs, have a wide variety of army choices and each army can be customized to suit a particular playing style. All games are produced by Games Workshop.
