Games Workshop - Warhammer - Old World - Empire of Man: Greatswords

Welcome to the worlds of Warhammer, a hobby built around collecting, building, and painting your own army of incredible miniatures. These figures are not pre-made toys; they are highly detailed, multipart plastic kits representing warriors, monsters, and war machines from the grim-dark future of Warhammer 40,000 or the fantasy realms of Age of Sigmar. Your journey from box to battlefield is a rewarding creative process in three key stages. First, you must assemble your miniatures. Using clippers, you will carefully remove each component from its plastic frame (called a sprue) and glue them together, bringing your warrior or vehicle to life. Next comes painting. After a coat of spray-on primer to help the paint adhere, you will use acrylic paints and brushes to apply your own unique colour scheme. This is your chance to be truly creative, turning grey plastic into a stunning, battle-ready force that is entirely yours. Once assembled and painted, your army is ready for the tabletop. You and an opponent will use your miniatures, alongside dice and rulebooks, to wage strategic battles, commanding your forces in a spectacular clash of heroes and monsters. It’s a hobby that is part model-making, part art, and part strategic game. Directions Assembly and painting miniatures
