INTRODUCTION

I have chosen to do my project on games workshop games simply because I love to play them! I've been playing for about three years so I do know a bit about the hobby so I'll try explain it to you as best as I possibly can. So read on and let me tell you of the misty realms of wargaming........

WARHAMMER

page 5 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ JJ6.2 index ]

ORCS AND GOBLINS

Orcs and goblins are primitive beings which prefer having a good solid scrap than messing about with fancy war machines, but orcs still have war machines, but because they are unreliable and rather <sic>unaccurate</sic>, you should not pick this army for <reg>its</reg> artillery.

Although Goblins are pretty weak and feeble, they are pretty intelligent compared to their more reliable cousins, the Orcs.

The orc language is primitive to say the least, for example, the great <reg>chieftain</reg> MORGLUM NECKSNAPPER (roll out the red carpet and proceed with the fanfare!!) once stated

"DA ONLI GUD STUNlE(Dwarf) IZ A DED STUNTIE AND DA ONLI FING BETTA DAN A DED STUNTIE IZ A DYIN STUNTIE OOZ TELZ YA WERZ TOO FIND IZ MATES"

P.S.MORGLUM NECKSNAPPER is my general of my army so do not question his <reg>statements</reg> or I will see to it that my army shaman GROTFACE will use you for the shaman's <reg>further</reg> experiments. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!

Here are some pictures of the ORC AND GOBLIN army

THE EMPIRE

The empire is a huge realm that is inhabited by humans. There are lots of countries in the empire just like england, except each country has <reg>its</reg> own elector count, these are people who are very strong and powerful who often go into battle for their country. The empire is also known for <reg>its</reg> artillery, such as the dreaded steam tank ,twelve were made by the genius Leonardo Miragliona, unfortunately he died, along with his dark secret. The empire is also known for <reg>its</reg> <reg>spectacular</reg> cavalry, the bold Reiksgard Knights, the wild Kislev winged lancers, the fiery Knights of the Blazing Sun and the wild Knights Panther.

ELVES

Elves are a noble and proud race taking great pride in what they do. As man was just getting to the stage of weapons of wicker and wood <reg>shields</reg>, Elves had already mastered iron and steel. The Elves are divided into three main colonies: the majestic HIGH ELVES, the natural bowmen of Athel Loren, the WOOD ELVES and the evil and twisted DARK ELVES.

HERE ARE SOME PICTURES OF ELVES

DWARFS

Dwarfs are a proud and old race that never forgets. The Dwarfs mainly like three things: their beards, beer and the battlefield! <reg>Should</reg> a Dwarf suffer major humiliation, they will live in the forest and become a slayer. The only things that bother these small humanoids is how big the monster that the slayer can kill!! The other type of Dwarf is the evil Chaos Dwarfs. These are just the same as normal Dwarfs <reg>except</reg> they like fire and worship the great god HASHUT.

HERE ARE SOME PICTURES OF DWARFS

SKAVEN

Skaven are vile creatures, using chitters as words, though their <reg>assassins</reg> are the most feared <reg>assassins</reg> throughout the old world. Their leader is called "the Horned Rat", and beside this great figure sits the council of thirteen, the rulers of all Skavenblight. Older Skaven are called Stormvermin, these always have black fur and use colossal two-handed halbreds. Plague Monks are deadly as well. These <reg>disciples</reg> of disease are disgusting to say the <reg>absolute</reg> least!. And while all these horrifying rat men slowly defeat you, Rat swarms slowly infest you....

page 10 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ JJ6.2 index ]

CHAOS

Chaos are twisted humans, succumbed to the evil forces known as Chaos. There are four types of Chaos, KHORNE, NURGLE, TZEENTCH and SLAANESH each with <reg>its</reg> own theme. KHORNE is the blood god and hates all magic users because they can't fight properly. NURGLE is the god of disease and corruption and he is all fat and bloated. TZEENTCH is the god of magic and wisdom and nearly all of <reg>its</reg> followers are sorcerers and SLAANESH is the prince of chaos and the god of pleasures for the SLAANESH followers, dying is the only pleasure in life!!

HERE ARE SOME PICTURES OF CHAOS

LIZARDMEN

Lizardmen are ancient green-skinned reptiles that were made by the mystical beings they call "the old ones". The Lizardmen are divided into three main categories long ago by the <NOTE desc="word/s missing?"> and lots of other creatures. The mightiest of the creatures is the Slann. The slann are fat, bloated, frog-like <reg>creatures</reg> <sic>that's</sic> magic is potent to say the least. The Skinks are small and Newt-like <sic>that</sic> use javelins and poison arrows, Skinks also capture stegadon eggs so they can tame <sic>it</sic> and ride <sic>it</sic> to battle. The Saurus are <reg>vicious</reg> opponents with thick <reg>hides</reg> and wield <reg>scythes</reg>, clubs and axes, hissing as they're ready for war.

HERE ARE SOME PICTURES OF THE LIZARDMEN

UNDEAD

The Undead are the <sic>remaint</sic> of dead people bound together by evil magic, the beings who cast these terrible spells are known only as Necromancers. The most common of the dead people are Skeleton Warriors, bones of dead soldiers stuck together by ether, the weakest and most numerous are Zombies, unearthly <sic>being</sic> that compared to other undead, Zombies are "dead" fresh

(if you'll excuse the pun!).

BRETTONIA

Brettonia is a proud and noble race, preferring <reg>chivalry</reg> and <reg>honour</reg> <sic>tha</sic> the biggest sword you can get and a big monster. Brettonia is divided into two <reg>castes</reg>, commoners and knights. All knights start off as a young <sic>Knights</sic> Errant, then advance to a Knight Of The Realm, <sic>the</sic> he can journey forth as a Questing Knight, then finds and drinks the grail and becomes a Grail Knight. The commoners however, <note desc="word/s missing?"> are to do such luxury, still, they get to fight in battle as bowmen or spearmen so they do get some pride.

WARHAMMER 40,000

SPACE MARINES

There are <reg>literally</reg> thousands of chapters of Space marines fighting over thousands of planets and hiveworlds.the chapters of the ULTRAMARINES, BLOOD ANGELS, DARK ANGELS and the SPACE WOLVES are the most common you'd see fighting for humanity. One page, I'm afraid, Isn't enough to describe the redeemers of mankind, The loyal Space marines.

Here are some pictures of the space marines.

page 16 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ JJ6.2 index ]

THE IMPERIAL GUARD

The Imperial Guard is a galactic fighting force, spread out over thousands of planets, fighting for mankind. Although there are litera11y thousands of planets the Imperial Guard fight on, the planets of CADIA, CATACHAN, MORDIA, TALLARN, ATTILA, <reg>VALHALLA</reg> are the dwellings of the much larger <reg>colonies</reg>.

People have fitted to their surroundings so much that nearly every <reg>colony</reg> is different E.G. The Cadian Shock Troops, the fierce Catachan Jungle Fighters, the disciplined Mordian Iron Guard, the wild Tallarn Desert Raiders, the saddle born <reg>Attilan</reg> Rough Riders and the bitter <reg>Valhallan</reg> Ice Warriors, each one with its own distinctive uniform. There are other Human-like races such as the expert shooting of the Ratling Snipers and the brute strength and clumsiness of the huge Ogryns.

Here are some pictures of the Imperial Guard

ORKS AND GRETHCHIN

The Ork and <reg>Gretchins</reg> are wild and ferocious opponents but unfortunately aren't very intelligent so as you can imagine they don't really use their abilities to their maximum potential. The Orks rule over the Gretchin with ease, because Gretchin are rather feeble compared to the Orks so the Gretchin have jobs like looking after squigs and cultivating fungus. The favourite weapon of the Orks is the bolt pistol, though they really like the biggest weapon they can find!! Ork mechanics are called Mekboys, the Meks make bionics (metal replicas of lost parts of the body) these are great, but Mekboys have a tendency for putting parts that the Orks may not want, may not work but they still have to pay for!!

page 18 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ JJ6.2 index ]

THE ELDAR

The Eldar are a noble race which have evolved from elves. The Eldar have sophisticated weaponry and <reg>vehicles</reg> to say the very least, the Eldar Jetbikes easily prove that. They zoom over the battlefield whilst the Vyper Jetbike blasts <reg>its</reg> opponents with <reg>its</reg> deadly weaponry. The Eldar are also known for their Warlocks and Farseers, great Eldar warriors who use <reg>psychic</reg> powers to blast all of the Eldar's enemy.

HERE ARE SOME PICTURES OF THE ELDAR ARMY

TYRANIDS

Tyranids are terrifying beasts that are fearsome hand-to-hand combat fighters. Genestealers have four arms, two are hand-like and the other are vicious claws that it uses to shred up <reg>its</reg> opponents. Termagaunts, however, are rather small and use short <sic>ranged</sic> combat pistols, swarming the battlefield. <sic>Carnifex's</sic> are massive, <sic>stang</sic> almost four <reg>metres</reg> tall, armed with living weaponry and uses its<reg>colossal</reg> claws to tear <reg>its</reg> opponents into blood, bones and body bits!!!

NECROMUNDA

Necromunda is a game like <sic>like</sic> Warhammer 40,000 but you are in control of far less men and you have to face the problem of your gang members running out of ammunition, being hunted down by sinister bounty hunters and your members being eaten alive by cannibals!! The Necromunda game comes with futuristic buildings, twenty four models and even measurement sticks!!

page 24 [ next page ] [ previous page ] [ JJ6.2 index ]

WARHAMMER QUEST

Warhammer quest is an <reg>adventurous</reg> game where instead of controlling hundreds of men, you only have one. This game is quite like warhammer because of its characters and monsters, except you start <reg>off</reg> with lots of wounds, lots of treasure and lots of weapons. The evil creatures that you come across in the dark, dank dungeons of the old world are not very friendly and will attack you without a <reg>moment’s</reg> notice. You have to be prepared at all times!

CONCLUSION

SO THERE YOU HAVE IT!

I've racked my brains to produce for you all I know (and all you need to know) about the two challenging games, warhammer and warhammer 40,000. I hope you have enjoyed my project as much as I have enjoyed producing it. I also hope that this has persuaded you to take a second look at the hobby, I am always looking for new gamers!
