The Warhammer universe was originally created by two brothers in Nottingham, United Kingdom, in 1983. The focus of the hobby is miniature figurines, which are sold unassembled. Hobbyists purchase the figurines, assemble them and paint them in their preset or unique color schemes. Once complete, they use the figurines to create armies that wage battle against other players’ collections in a dice-based game with heavily detailed rules.

From relatively humble beginnings, the Warhammer franchise has expanded rapidly, with two flagship settings in both medieval fantasy and far-future sci-fi worlds, several peripheral games and even novelizations set in the in-game universe. All of this, though, comes second to what players say is their main motivation for the hobby — the sense of community.

The Tokyo-based community recently began to coalesce around the new Warhammer Store & Cafe in the Akihabara neighborhood, which offers a large area to play and paint. Although similar stores are dotted around the city, none were large enough to host multiple games at once, stunting larger community efforts. But with the arrival of this multitable space, the scene finally has room to grow. Read more with the link in our bio.
