games Workshop

Games Workshop is a British tabletop gaming company best known for creating and publishing the miniature wargames Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000.

Founded in 1975 and headquartered in Nottingham, England, Games Workshop designs, manufactures, and sells detailed plastic, resin, and metal miniatures, along with rulebooks, novels, and hobby supplies such as paints and tools. Its games are set in rich fantasy and science-fiction universes, featuring deep lore, distinctive factions, and a strong narrative focus.

The company operates a global network of Games Workshop and Warhammer retail stores, runs its own publishing arm (Black Library) for novels and audio dramas, and licenses its intellectual property for video games and other media. Games Workshop is especially known for promoting the hobby aspect of gaming—assembling, painting, and customizing miniatures is a core part of the experience.

In short, Games Workshop is both a game publisher and a hobby brand, centered on immersive worlds, collectible miniatures, and strategic tabletop play.
