🧠 FAQ: Warhammer for Beginners
Is Warhammer suitable for kids?
Yes — many start around age 10+, especially with help. Sets like Introductory 40K or Paint + Build kits are great starting points. Adult supervision is recommended for younger players due to small parts and tools.
How long does a typical Warhammer game last?
Skirmishes (Kill Team, Warcry): 30–60 minutes
Full-scale battles: 1.5–3+ hours depending on army size
Do I need to paint my models to play?
No, but painting is a huge part of the experience — and painted models often look better on the tabletop and are required for competitive play.
What’s the difference between 40K and Age of Sigmar?
40K is set in a sci-fi universe with guns, machines, and alien threats.
Age of Sigmar is a fantasy setting with magic, swords, and mythical creatures.
Can I play alone?
While Warhammer is designed for 2+ players, there are solo missions, AI-based campaigns, and painting/modelling that you can enjoy alone.
🛡️ Build. Paint. Battle. Repeat.
