Warhammer: The Old World Rulebook
It is a dark age. An age where mighty armies from powerful nations clash to carve out empires on the field of battle. An age where alliances can be fleeting; and today’s friends can be tomorrow’s foes. It is an age where the Winds of Magic must be mastered; and where brave soldiers clash against endless hordes of enemies. And for those who are victorious; it can be an age of glory; no matter how fleeting.
Warhammer: the Old World is a game unlike any other; in which you command mighty armies of Citadel miniatures; relying upon your own tactical ingenuity to achieve victory.
