Warhammer 40K: Learn to Play/Meet & Greet (Rules will be taught)

RSVP on our Meetup now!

Come on out to The Dragon on Saturday, June 25th to learn, or just play, Warhammer 40K!

In the grim darkness of the far future… There is only war.

Warhammer is a tabletop battle game which puts players in command of armies of valiant humans, noble elves, savage orcs or a variety of twisted and monstrous creatures. Players collect forces of miniature plastic models, all with different stats and abilities, and use them to play out clashes on a tabletop battlefield. Unlike a board game, where players’ moves are restricted to defined areas, Warhammer commanders freely maneuver their units set distances using rulers and resolve shooting and hand-to-hand combat by rolling dice.

In its lifetime the game has gone through several editions, tweaking rules and adding new units and creatures for players to deploy in their armies. Its science fiction spin-off, Warhammer 40,000, has proved phenomenally popular with its armies of Space Marines, war machines and vicious alien hordes.

Warhammer 40,000‘s space fantasy is set in a fictional universe in the forty-first millennium. Its various factions and races include the Imperium of Man, a decentralized yet totalitarian interstellar empire that has ruled the vast majority of humanity for millennia, the Orks, the Eldar, Tau and Daemons, among others. 

The background and playing rules of each faction are covered in the game’s rule books and supplemental army “Codex”.
