| Description | Warhammer, a tabletop miniature game born back in 1983, has reached a new level of popularity. Not only has the game, and the franchise built around it, seen interest from the likes of actor and Hollywood’s number one nerd Henry Cavill who is set to guide the franchise into its first outing in to film, but it has become a backbone of the British economy (especially amongst the backdrop of a post-COVID and post-Brexit landscape). Games Workshop, the British manufacturer of Warhammer, is set to be promoted to the FTSE 100 (the UKs best known stock market). Now the game has also caught the attention of academics on a larger scale. At the end of September, the first Warhammer Conference was held in Heidelberg with the participation of CAPAS. |
