What is Warhammer?
Warhammer is a hobby where you:
- Build miniature figures
- Paint them
- Play strategic tabletop games
The two biggest games are:
- Warhammer 40,000 – sci-fi warfare in the future
- Age of Sigmar – fantasy with magic and monsters
Both are perfect for beginners.
Step 1 – Choose the right game
As a beginner, you should start with one of these:
Warhammer 40k
- Most popular
- Large community
- Many factions
Age of Sigmar
- Easier to get started
- More fantasy
- Beautiful models
Tip: Choose what you think looks coolest – it's more important than "what's best."
Step 2 – Start with a starter set
The absolute easiest way to start is with a starter set or a Combat Patrol.

Step 3 – Get paints and brushes
To paint your figures, you'll need:
- Paints (Citadel or Two Thin Coats)
- Brushes
- Primer (spray or base)

Tip: Start simple – you don't need all the colors right away.
Step 4 – Build and paint
Once you have your models:
- Cut out the parts
- Glue the figure together
- Paint in layers
This is a big part of the hobby – and many find it more fun than the game itself.
Step 5 – Start playing
You can play:
- At home with friends
- In store
- Online (via communities)
Start small – learn the rules step by step.
