Warhammer’s own stores, including its UK shops, run a standing welcome offer for people new to the hobby. You can choose a free miniature from two options, get a free build and paint session where staff show you how to assemble and paint it, and play a free walk-through introductory game.

Use the store finder on the Warhammer stores site to find your nearest shop, then visit and tell the staff you are new to Warhammer. New hobbyists can also join the free Battle Honours programme, which sets goals and activities with rewards along the way.

The offer is for newcomers. The page gives no age guidance, but the kits involve small parts, glue and paint, so younger children will need an adult with them.
