Warhammer originally started out as a miniature table top fantasy rule
system in the early 80's if I remember right, then latter 80's they came out
with the first edition of the RPG rule set for pen and pencil gaming.
Warhammer is Games Workshop's property and it's made to sell lots of
miniatures. It's still pretty popular today although what used to be metal
miniatures has gone to more plastic type materials. I think the RPG is
now produced by another company that licenses it from Games
Workshop. So it's still alive in a somewhat different edition. Their miniature
side though has always been their bread winner. Not sure how well their
books are doing although I've seen more of both the fantasy side and their
Warhammer 40k being published lately it seems like. And a far about of
older ones being reissued in deluxe volumes.
They also have a SF version called Warhammer 40k as well. And both
have a lot of spinoff products of various types.

created many of the Games Workshop "White Dwarf" Magazine covers, and
some of the boxes and book

Ray's great books, just fit the bill.
