About Games Workshop

`````Games Workshop is the largest and the most successful tabletop wargames company in the world. What does that mean? They make the best toy soldiers around, and They craft detailed science fiction and fantasy worlds around them.

`````Games Workshop has three core lines of models: Warhammer (Fantasy), Warhammer 40,000, and The Lord of The Rings Strategy Battle Game. Also, Games Workshop produces many specialist games, from Battlefleet Gothic to Inquisitor to Mordheim.

`````"Our business is about bringing players (12-years-old and up) together to challenge each other with miniature armies on a battlefield the size of a small table. To this end, we have sculpted a gorgeous range of plastic and metal soldiers and provided a selection of vibrant paints to bring the models to life. We have also written extensive background stories for each fantasy or science fiction universe and written realistic rules for how armies fight." Games Workshop

`````These toy soldiers aren't the generic green army men you used to play make-believe with as a kid. Devoted GW hobbyists spend hours painting each individual soldier to exquisite detail. Many write tomes of background information on their particular army – where they come from and why they fight. Others compete in local and regional tournaments to bring their army glory and fame.

`````To support these endeavors, GW publishes White Dwarf, their monthly hobby magazine. White Dwarf includes articles on painting, constructing scenery, tactics, army showcases, and much, much more. They have also just started an online counterpart to the magazine, known as Black Gobbo (Gobbo is Orc-speak for "Goblin," the enemies of Dwarfs in the Warhammer universe). Lastly, the GW web site offers a deluge of information on their games and the latest news on GW events and releases.

`````However, in the end, the best way to understand Games Workshop, and their range of games, is to dig into the material and explore. So, take a look around this web site.
