Warhammer miniatures

Warhammer is a globally recognized brand of tabletop wargaming miniatures and related hobby supplies. Born in the United Kingdom during the late 1970s and early 1980s, the brand revolutionized the tabletop gaming industry by combining deep lore with high-quality, unassembled plastic and resin models. Its most famous settings, the high-fantasy Warhammer Age of Sigmar and the grimdark science-fiction Warhammer 40,000, have expanded into massive multimedia franchises including video games, novels, and upcoming cinematic adaptations.

From a manufacturing standpoint, Games Workshop maintains a strong commitment to its British roots. The vast majority of its plastic miniatures are produced at the company's vertically integrated headquarters and factory complex in Lenton, Nottingham. While some auxiliary products such as books, scenery pieces, or specific boxed set components may be sourced globally, the core hobby models remain quintessentially British in production.

The brand is owned and operated by Games Workshop Group PLC, a publicly traded company on the London Stock Exchange. Unlike many major toy or hobby brands that have been acquired by larger conglomerates like Hasbro or Mattel, Games Workshop has remained independent, controlling its entire pipeline from design and manufacturing to retail distribution through its own dedicated Warhammer stores worldwide.
