Wargames Illustrated (affectionately known as Wi) is the world’s leading and best-selling magazine dedicated to the hobby of miniature wargaming.
Each month Wi features news, views, reviews, and over 100 pages of articles relating to the noble hobby of miniature wargaming – the pursuit of collecting, painting, and gaming with miniature figurines (known variously as figures, miniatures, figs, minis, or toy soldiers).
