Games Workshop

What is the most popular Games Workshop game?
That would be Warhammer 40,000 (or 40K for short). It's a sci-fi tabletop wargame where you build armies of plastic miniatures and fight battles across distant galaxies. Games play out on a tabletop covered in scenery, using dice rolls and rulebooks to settle every shot, charge, and close-combat strike. Each faction has its own models and playstyle, from elite Space Marines to swarming Tyranids, so there’s a force for every kind of player.

Does Games Workshop make miniatures?
Yes, Warhammer is built around collecting and assembling miniatures. You’ll start with kits that you clip from sprues, glue together, and paint using dedicated Citadel paints. The models range from foot soldiers and tanks to towering monsters and flying gunships. They’re designed for both collectors and players, whether you want to build an army for battle or just enjoy the painting side of the hobby.

How do you use Warhammer paints?
Start by priming your miniatures so the paint sticks well. Then layer on your base colours, add shades to bring out the details, and finish with dry brushing or highlights to make edges pop. Warhammer paints are water-based acrylics, so you can thin them with a little water and clean your brushes easily afterward.
