Why It's Significant (in 25 words or less): Although Chainmail came first, Warhammer virtually created the modern miniatures game industry, including Mechwarrior, MageKnight, the Lord of the Rings Battle Game, and HeroClix.
More About Warhammer: A tabletop fantasy miniatures wargame, Warhammer can be played with 20 miniatures per side or hundreds of miniatures per side. A huge range of models are available, and players often spend more time painting the figures than they do playing the game.
