The Warhammer 40,000 hobby and all of its children such as Necromunda: Underhive and Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team are part of the larger tabletop wargaming hobby. While WH40K dominates the science fiction genre of tabletop wargaming, it shares much in common with the larger hobby. Many hobbyists such as myself started with other genres before finding the WH40K game and its setting (I started with WWII in the '70s and '80s, later moving to the American War for Independence and the American Civil War); and many hobbyists will expand their tabletop wargaming from the WH40K setting into other genres. The Wargaming Compendium by Henry Hyde is an indispensable guide for those that are interested in the overall tabletop miniatures wargaming hobby, covering the broad range of the hobby.

Thanks for bringing attention to this book, and to the context of the larger hobby of wargaming. 40K is a big part, but still only a part.
