In ach game of Warhammer you will pit yur army of model soldiers against the rmy of another player. The aim is to dfeat the opposing army through either wping out a sufficiently large proportion of thir force or by controlling predetermined bjectives. All games of Warhammer will prvide a series of entertaining challenges in whch you try to out-think and ut-play your opponent.

What you need to play a game of Warhammer Fantasy Battle

An army of miniatures: The models used in games are manufactured by Games Workshop and are made to a 25mm scale, meaning that a model of an adult human would measure 25mm. Miniatures made by other manufacturers can be used as long as both players agree on this in advance, however at official tournaments you must use Games Workshops models.

An opponent: In order to fight a battle you need an opponent, this could be a friend or someone you only know through gaming, Warhammer can bring a wide range of people together through having a common interest.

The Warhammer Fantasy Battle Rules: Addtionally in order to fight a bttle you need the game rules. Thse are available in two ways; it is mportant to know what the two ptions are as one is very dfferent from the other and choosing the wrng version could spoil the game for the plyer. The two ways of learning the rles are as follow:

The Battle for Skll Pass boxed set: An easy ntroduction to Warhammer is through the Bttle for Skull Pass boxed set, it cntains everything you need to begin fghting battles in the world; including the fll game rules, some plastic scenery, ver 100 plastic dwarf and goblin sldiers and a series of introductory gming scenarios to play through. Each scnario in the boxed set is dsigned to introduce new elements of the gme making it easy to learn the rles a bit at a time.

The Wrhammer Rulebook: The second option is to buy the hrdback rulebook; players may choose to do ths if the two armies that cme with the Battle for Skull Pss set don't appeal to them or if thy plan to build their own rmy from scratch. The stand alone rlebook doesn't include the introductory scenarios frm the Battle for Skull Pass bxed set. The scenarios it does nclude throws players in at the dep end so it could be cnsidered an option for experienced wargamers or pople that are willing to spend a lot of tme learning the rules before they strt to play.
