Your Hobby, Your Way!
There are loads of ways you can engage with the Warhammer hobby. From collecting, building, and painting your favourite miniatures, to playing thrilling tabletop games and reading fantastic fiction – the choice is yours!
Collect
At the core of Warhammer are the highly detailed miniatures that represent the characters and warriors of its settings. How you form your collection is entirely up to you – muster an army for playing games, build and paint the miniatures you love, create a beautiful display, or something else entirely!
Build and paint
Building and painting are two of the most rewarding parts of the Warhammer hobby. Whether crafting a regular human soldier, a towering daemon, or a colossal mechanical construct, your skills will grow with practice as you bring your miniatures to life.
Play
Use your miniatures to battle against friends, family, and like-minded Warhammer hobbyists at home or at your local club or gaming store. There's a Warhammer game for everyone, and to fit in any space, from huge battles to swift skirmishes, fantasy football games, co-op adventures, and more.
Read
Black Library publishes stories that bring the worlds of Warhammer to life. Novels, riveting multi-book epics, and audio dramas tell fantastic tales of action, heroism, cunning, mystery, and horror.
