Years go by and more and more video games based on the Games Workshop universe appear: strategy games, action games, shooters, adaptations of specialist games… but something is always missing; We always lack a way to be able to play Warhammer (the real one, the tabletop one) on our PC. Fortunately, today there are solutions for everything because the communities of fans reach where companies do not go, and thanks to their work it is possible to enjoy online games of Warhammer, Warhammer 40,000, The Lord of the Rings, etc. How? With what? Well with Tabletop Simulator.
Stay here, you will soon learn how to play warhammer on Tabletop Simulator.
What is Tabletop Simulator?
It is a video game available on Steam that, as its name suggests, is used to emulate board games. But wait a minute… what board games? From what I see it’s parcheesi and dominoes, right? Well, that too, but Tabletop Simulator allows us, from its own interface, to load mods of whatever we want. Fortunately for us, the community is constantly working on mods capable of bringing the miniatures and items needed to play Warhammer to our virtual tabletops. All of them free so that we can have miniatures, scenery and others.
How to play Warhammer on Tabletop Simulator?
The first thing you should be clear about is that Tabletop Simulator is not in itself a video game designed to play anything specific, so the program does not contain automatisms or regulations of anything. It is we, along with our opponents, who will have to do everything manually as if we were sitting at the game table with them. It is a board game simulator with all the consequences, so it will help us to do the same as a normal game. It will be necessary to have the army books at hand, measure distances, roll virtual dice and be in contact with our opponent to apply all the necessary rules. There are plenty of tutorials on YouTube for us to learn how to use Tabletop Simulator for our Warhammer games. I leave you here this one from the Almost Pro Gaming channel that explains everything very well.
