Games Workshop
ABOUT GAMES WORKSHOP

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

We have three core lines of models: Warhammer, Warhammer 40,000, and The Lord of The Rings Strategy Battle Game. Also, Games Workshop produces many Specialist Games, such as Battlefleet Gothic, Inquisitor and 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 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.

Many Games Workshop hobbyists spend hours painting their models 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 endeavours, GW publishes White Dwarf, our monthly hobby magazine. White Dwarf includes articles on painting, constructing scenery, tactics, army showcases, and much, much more. Lastly, Games Workshop Online offers a deluge of information on our games and the latest news on Games Workshop events and releases.

However, in the end, the best way to understand Games Workshop is to dig into the material and explore. So, take a look around our website. If you like what you see, visit one of our Hobby Centres or drop by the Online Store to try your hand at one of the greatest games on Earth. We're sure you'll enjoy it.
