A very fun table-top strategy game involving miniature that the player collects and paints. While it may be a bit overpriced, Games Workshop is only raising prices like any other company would. It's called supply and demand. As the demand for warhammer goes up, and the supply needs to be raised to keep up with the soaring demand, prices are going to be raised, naturally. What with inflation and all, this is to be expected. If the demand drops for some reason, obviously the price will drop as well. I swear, if everyone in the world were forced to take an Economics 101 class, half the world's problems would be solved. Anyways, despite some people's assessments of the game, it is not "simple" by any stretch of the imagination. Having rules that are not too complex, for both versions of the game, prevents arguements over rules and lets players get to the important part: the game. Despite having fairly easy to understand rules, the game's strategies and tactics can be as deep, complex, and cunning or as simple, unthought out, and easy as you like. And, as I said earlier, though the game is fairly expensive, it is one of the most rewarding gaming experiences, since you have to take the time to raise the cash, buy the models, assemble them (converting as desired), and paint them all uniquely. In a nerdy sort of way, your army is an extension of yourself and your personality on the tabletop. In short: This game rocks!

Kind of like a tabletop RPG, while a good game, it is very expensive, i stopped playing years ago but still enjoy the painting there are 3 main types-Warhammer which is fantasy(lord of the rings/willow etc, Warhammer 40000 which is sci fi(reminds me of Starship troopers) and Lord of the Rings(need i say more), all have sub games(Warhammer has Mordheim(Instead of playing with an army you play with a small warband which grows the more you play)) all have different races but all have orcs good/neutral humans and evil humans.Contrary to popular belief, warhammer is not nerdy(or at least in my school it isnt)

A very interesting and compelling tabletop game of fantasy battles - And although it's made fun of by many people, and those playing it are put into a stereotype, this is hugely innacurate - Yes, warhammer is expensive for what it is - imaginary battles with plastic models - but so what? It's fun, it's a hobby - and that has to be worth spending money on. Opposers have their hobbies too - just how much did THEY spend on doing something they enjoy? If it's fun, it's probably worth spending your hard earner cash on just because of the fact it brings you happiness.

Anticash.
Warhammer was first artificially created in 1955 by University of California physicists Emilio Segrè and Owen Chamberlain, for which they were awarded the 1959 Nobel Prize in Throwing Money Away.

The practice of male masturbation with two hands, such that the penis is gripped like the fantasy weapon known as a "warhammer."
Doug: Dude, she gave me a warhammer last night, it was the shit.
Steve: If only my dick was big enough for two hands....
