Probably because most people (myself included until I read this article) have never even heard of war hammer.

I dunno, perhaps it is just the circles I move in - but I feel it is pretty pervasive in British culture. It has been going since the early 80s so I find even oldies generally know about it from their children/grand children.

Anecdotally I can't say I have ever really encountered war hammer before and haven't heard anything about it from friends. Maybe I'm just a bit of an old codger haha

No worries - few items of pop culture achieve 100% penetration.

I’m not very clued up on warhammer (although I hear it’s great), but the more popular Sci-fi sister to it, warhammer 40K is incredible.

The level of world building they’ve put into it is probably unsurpassed.
