New line of Warhammer gaming accessories to
be unveiled soon
COMMERCE, Calif., March 5,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Ultra PRO®
International LLC ("Ultra PRO"), a California-based manufacturer known for
high-quality sports card and gaming accessories, is thrilled to
announce a new licensing agreement with Nottingham, England-based Games
Workshop® Group PLC, makers of the extremely
popular Warhammer and Warhammer universes. Ultra PRO will produce
both classic and innovative wargaming accessories for
Warhammer's two most popular miniature wargame lines: Warhammer
40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar.
Warhammer 40,000 is set in the distant future and was
first released in 1987. It has subsequently been followed by
multiple editions of the game. The 10th Edition of Warhammer
40,000 was unveiled in March 2023
(three years after the Ninth Edition) and brought with it updated
rules, new miniature models and more lore to Games Workshop's
long-running wargame. Since its inception, the game has attracted a
wide audience in the UK, U.S. and worldwide. These dedicated sci-fi
enthusiasts build tremendous armies of fantastical miniature
soldiers, paint their models, and then either construct impressive
3D dioramas for display or take their miniatures to the tabletop to
play expansive games and tell their own stories.
Warhammer Age of Sigmar released in 2015 and has built up
another strong following of gaming enthusiasts worldwide who
simulate battles between armies by using tabletop miniatures. It
too has spawned follow-up releases with Second Edition (2018) and
Third Edition (2021) both altering the playing field of the "Mortal
Realms" to keep wargamers on their toes.
"We are incredibly excited about this new partnership," said
Ultra PRO Director of Business Development Justin Cole. "We plan to produce faction-aligned
wargaming accessories and our classic line of trading card game
accessories to support the worlds of Warhammer's two most admired
miniature wargame lines."
This partnership was announced at the GAMA EXPO trade show in
Louisville, KY, during Ultra PRO's
premiere presentation on March 6th.
If attending GAMA, please visit Ultra PRO's booth (#326) for a
first look of Ultra PRO's new Warhammer products.
