9. Play A Demonstration Game

One of the first things Warhammer enthusiasts hear from prospective players is that the game looks too complicated and that they don’t know where to start.

Look no further than your local Warhammer store! The staff are immensely helpful and passionate about the hobby and will be more than happy to give you a demonstration game. They’ll throw you right into the action of the game and let you play around with a couple of factions. Even better, they give you a FREE model!

Most store will even offer you a painting tutorial in store where you can paint that model up.

Now this does sound like the cautionary tale of the nefarious drug dealer giving you a free hit before charging you for the product when you are hooked… and in some ways it is!

However, chances are you’ll walk away from the store with a painted model and have been introduced to the wonderful world of tabletop gaming.
