Warhammer 40,000 introduction

Warhammer is a tabletop miniatures wargame set in the 41st millennium where demons and heretics plague the imperium of man, vile greenskins known as orks infest the stars and millions of lives are lost or added to the military on a day to day basis.

warhammer 40k is so vast a game world that anyone of any playstyle or caliber can find an army to fit them and have fun with. In my own opinion the orks are the most fun to play due to the fact that I get to talk in a silly tone of voice (Wot? Doze 'Ummie Nutterz is bak?! Kill 'Em all I sayz!) and scream at the top of my lungs. As orks I can get away with all kinds of silly garbage not possible elsewhere. (A pig counting as a motorcycle anyone?) Lastly orks have the uncanny ability to use the parts from any other model ever. WWII meets science fiction meets fantasy meets some other kind of silly what-not.

now warhammer isnt all humans and orks beating each-other senceless. There are other factions the once-soulless necrons. the insectioid tyrandids (big nasty bugs make for some fun conversions), the imperial guard for those traditionalists or whoever has a nasty case of "overkill". there is many other factions as well. warhammer can truely suit to anyone big or small. the littler ones may not be able to grasp the rules at first however (Highly recommended to start early with things like painting and move onto the bigger scope of things when they get older)

If your intrested in seeing photos and other things from warhammer take a look at the link below for all sorts of wargaming photos, some political discussions if you venture into the forums, and much more
