It is a dark age, a bloody age, an age of daemons and sorcery, of battle and death, and of the world's ending. Amidst all the fire, flame and fury it is a time too of mighty heroes, of bold deeds and great courage.

Warhammer is a tabletop game for two or more players where you command armies of mighty warriors, be they brutal Orcs, stubborn Dwarfs, stalwart Men or mystical Elves.
