According to Wikipedia, Warhammer 40K is the most popular miniatures board
game in the world, especially in the United Kingdom. As in other miniature
wargames, players enact battles using miniature models of warriors and
fighting vehicles. The playing area is a tabletop model of a battlefield,
comprising models of buildings, hills, trees, and other terrain features.
Each player takes turns to move their model warriors around the battlefield
and pretend that they are fighting their opponent's warriors. These
imaginary fights are resolved using dice and simple arithmetic. Warhammer
40,000 is set in the distant future, where a stagnant human civilization is
beset by hostile aliens and supernatural creatures. The models in the game
are a mixture of humans, aliens, and supernatural monsters, wielding
futuristic weaponry and supernatural powers. The fictional setting of the
game has been developed through a large body of novels, published by Black
Library (Games Workshop's publishing division), according to the game’s
entry in Wikipedia.



Since 1976, the National Federation of the Blind of NJ has been helping
members live the lives they want! We know that the real problem concerning
blindness is not blindness itself but the lack of knowledge, understanding,
and opportunity from our sighted peers. Get involved in the NFB of NJ, the
largest civil rights organization of and for blind and visually impaired
people in the world. Additional information on the organization can be
found at www.nfbnj.org Representatives of the Mythicos Studio will be part
