The Russians take their costuming and role play community very seriously, as witnessed by the recent Moscow based Warhammer Fantasy event. Over 1,000 players assembled in this massive showing of technical and creative expertise, and today we gotta go fast to check out the Orks!

Warhammer Fantasy LARP

LARP, by definition, is an interactive roleplay style game system, where players choose to portray characters through physical action, rather than through words or character sheet development. In Russia, an amazing group of LARPers display of costuming and roleplay in an exhibition of over 1,000 people. They bring to life characters from the various Warhammer Fantasy Settings, choosing characters from a myriad of factions and backgrounds.

The Community

Every year over a thousand of players attend to fight epic battles, take on daring adventures, weave intrigue, participate in trade, politics and diplomacy in the world of eternal war. We have access to the full gallery of images from the 2018 LARP.
