Armies of warhammer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The table-top games of Warhammer Fantasy Battle and Warhammer 40,000 are populated by many nations and races which are covered by one or more armies - which have been defined by a separate "army list" or with more detail as a "Warhammer Army" book, "Codex" in 40,000. Over the lifetime of the games there have been many army lists published, these have evolved, discontinued, or been replaced. Players of either game or there spin-offs have a wide variety of army choices and each army is customized by the player to better suit their playing style. All games are produced by Games Workshop.
