For Parents

 What is Warhammer?

Warhammer is a tabletop battle game which puts players in command of armies of plastic miniatures in a fantasy (Age of Sigmar) or sci-fi (Warhammer 40,000) setting. Players collect forces of miniature plastic models, all with different stats and abilities, and use them to play out clashes on a tabletop battlefield. Making those armies is a hobby in itself, in which you build, paint, and customize your personal collection of models.

What Will My Child Get Out of Playing Warhammer?

Warhammer is a great way to get away from the screen and interact with others in a welcoming social environment.

• Creativity: Building and painting miniatures is an artistic activity - some hobbyists only paint models and don’t even play the game

• Coping with Adversity: Gaming can teach you about winning and losing gracefully and how to resolve conflicts with others in a friendly way

• Reading: Warhammer 40,00 has a rich backstory. There is a huge selection of novels to read, as well and dozens of rulebooks to study

• Math: Players will use their math skills while adding up dice, applying modifiers, and determining probability

Who Runs the Club?

The club is run by Anthony Watts, a life-long miniature wargamer, and dad to a 40k fan. If you have any questions, feel free to send him an email.
