This will be Games Workshop’s first real chance at making the games they have been developing for decades genuinely mainstream. While popular and undoubtedly the most successful company in the wargaming industry, Games Workshop’s properties lack the kind of mainstream penetration enjoyed by Dungeons & Dragons.
While confusing to outsiders, Warhammer has become a catch-all phrase that Games Workshop uses to describe their entire product line, which is made up of Warhammer 40K, a futuristic, large-scale game that is their most successful property, Horus Heresy, set ten thousand years before Warhammer 40K (often referred to as Warhammer 30K by fans), and Age of Sigmar, their take on a fantasy based game. There are also smaller-scale skirmish games like Necromunda, Kill Team, and Warcry, along with more traditional “board game” style offerings like Underworlds.
