The UK’s Games Workshop, makers of Warhammer Fantasy Battles, Warhammer 40,000, and The Lord of the Rings: Strategy Battle Game, are frequently criticized in tabletop wargaming circles for selling outrageously expensive products. My wallet knows this first-hand. A few years ago, I almost went broke trying to feed my addiction to little toy soldiers from a dark gothic future. But Games Workshop products are also incredibly beautiful, their game worlds are impressively fleshed out, and their magazines, game novels, and comic books are some of the best in the business.
And then there’s all the cool stuff you can get for free. Their website offers dozens of very high-quality how to articles that can teach you model building and converting, pro-level painting, and gameboard and terrain building. Regardless of what tabletop game you play, you can benefit from this outstanding repository of articles.
