A quick note – we’re not 100% sure on if “Warhammer”  means Warhammer 40,000, Warhammer: Age of Sigmar or Both. Or if “Warmachine” refers to only Warmachine or if it also includes sales for Hordes as well. However you read it, one game has skyrocketed to the top…Or should I say went to “.5 past Lightspeed.”

More interesting is to compare this to last year’s top 5 to see the trends in the industry:
