I asked a few months ago on advice on getting started with warhammer. Played my first game last night. Got most of my figurines on eBay and made the terrain out junk.

    Hmmm, so Warhammer 40k is like a toy set. I always thought it was a computer game.

      It's a long-running tabletop war game. It's played using a person's collection of miniatures. Basically, you know how D&D can be played with miniatures, usually to enhance the experience and to add a visual element to help the players know what's going on? It's like that, except the entire game is played with those miniatures, and it revolves entirely around battles instead of roleplaying.

      There have been many video game adaptations of various genres throughout the years, but the main thing is the tabletop game.

        Theres also a ton of fiction written in the universe of the game which is optional but a lot of people like it.
