Warhammer 40,000 / Age of Sigmar / Killteam

Warhammer is one of the oldest and greatest minatures wargames of the age.

It has two main variants: Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer: Age of Sigmar

Warhammer 40,000 is set in the nightmare future of the 41st millennium. Most of humanity exists under the yoke of a tyrannical, medieval-style empire spanning most of the galaxy called "The Imperium of Man." Life in the Imperium is bleak - however, most of the alternatives are worse; the Imperium is beset on all sides by ravenous alien hordes, and from within by the treacherous agents of malicious, inter-dimensional, daemonic entities. There is no peace in the 41st millennium, and there is no respite - there is only war.

Warhammer 40,000 (or "40k" as it is usually abbreviated) was one of the early pioneers of the "Grimdark" Science Fiction / Fantasy sub-genre, blending medieval aesthetics with futuristic design components in a unique design vocabulary.

Warhammer: Age of Sigmar (formerly Warhammer: Fantasy Battles) is set in a Lord of the Rings-style medieval fantasy world. It revolves around the various conflicts between the kingdoms of that world, and incursions from otherworldly, un-dead and daemonic entities...

All of these games use 28mm miniatures, so a man-sized model is around an inch tall. Battles typically use 30 - 100 miniatures organized into 4 - 12 squads. Both have skirmish versions available ("Killteam" for Warhammer 40k, "Warcry" for Age of Sigmar). Full games typically take 2-4 hours; skirmish games typically take 1-2 hours.
