The Warhammer World has been alive and well since it was created in 1983. As well as being a strategy wargame, played with miniatures from a huge range of fantasy races, there is also a deep history of lore that is intertwined with the models and armies of the universe. Some of this can be found in army books, while some are hidden in the Black Library's expansive collection of canon novels. Often, these large-scale battles and tragic tales of war can create a real connection to the named heroes and villains of the Warhammer setting.
