 \n# THE WARHAMMER 40,000 HOBBY\n\nAt its heart,Warhammer 40,00o is a collecting hobby.Most collections beginslowly at first.A particular Citadel miniature will draw your eye,practicallybegging to be bought.Others soon follow,sometimes collected with a plan,more often as a result of the same indefinable instinct that inspired your firstpurchase.As the collection grows,you'll become increasingly aware of therich depth that the hobby has to offer.It can seem daunting at first,but don'tworry.What you're glimpsing is merely a vast array of choice and possibility,to be engaged with(or not)at whatever speed you wish.  \n# STARTING THE JOURNEY\n\nA collection of Citadel miniatures is a very personal possession.Everything,from theorder in which the models were added,to the smallest details of the colours that thosemodels have been painted in,speaks to the collector's character.As a result,no twocollections come about in exactly the same way,and everyjourney through the hobby isunique.That said,as each collection grows,it does so along one or more of three commonpaths:legends,gaming and painting.  \n# LEGENDS\n\nThe Warhammer 40,000 universe is vast,spanning thousands of years and a millionworlds.It is a story of selfless heroes and ruthless villains,of desperate deeds and terriblesacrifice.  \nFor many hobbyists,these tales are the inspiration for their collection.Their collectionsare shaped around every story and fragment of lore within their area of interest,thenexpanded further when a new battle,a new myth or a new character comes to prominencein the ever-evolving story.  \nFor some,it's particular characters that provide the spark,doers of righteous or vile deedswhose personalities resonate with the reader.Most hobbyists have a far broaderallegiance,identifying not only with specific individuals,but with one or more ofWarhammer 40,00o's many armies,or perhaps with a star-spanning campaign.A greatmany hobbyists don't even restrict their interest to a single faction,but engage with thefull scope of the background.They steep themselves in the characters,armies and eventsdrawn from across the ten thousand year history,delving into everything from the darkdepths of the Horus Heresy to the desperate struggles of the Time of Ending.  \nThere's no right or wrong way to engage with Warhammer 40,00o's rich history.You cango as large or small as you want,explore the most intricate of details one minute,then  \nskim the surface in the next.The path you take-and the speed at which you travel-areyours to decide.You can voraciously absorb everything to do with the infamous OrkWarlord Ghazghkull Thraka one moment,and explore the deeds of the Blood AngelsSpace Marines the next.Afterwards,you can dive into the sprawling battles of theDamocles Gulf,or immerse yourself in the peculiar madness of the Necron archeovistTrazyn the Infinite.  \nJourney wherever your fancy takes you-wherever you tread,there'll be plenty ofinspiration along the way.  \n# GAMING\n\nYour collection of Citadel miniatures isn't just a labour of love and a thing of beauty-it’salso a mighty army,ready for war.Whether you're looking to recreate a specific battle,ortell new stories set in the warzones of the far future,the Warhammer 40,000 battle gameprovides the rules you need.  \nAt its most basic level,the Warhammer 40,000 game is an immersive andjoyous way ofinteracting with your collection.It's a social experience,uniting hobbyists of all ages andbackgrounds in the wholesome pursuit of unremitting war.No other aspect of the hobbycan be shared so easily with friends,and if there happens to be a touch of competition inthe mix,then that’s only natural.  \nTaken to its full potential,gaming is also a form of storytelling,the narrative revealed by  \nevery roll of the dice.Some of Warhammer 40,00o's most famous battles began this way.Narrative battles often use special scenarios,either taken from one of the many  \nWarhammer 40,00o gaming supplements,or created by the players to meet the
