Warhammer: The Island of Blood

About this board game

Warhammer: The Island of Blood is a two-player introductory game for Warhammer Fantasy Battle eighth edition, with battles designed to take up to 360 minutes.

Set during a Skaven raid on an Elven fortress island, the game places two opposing forces at the center of a conflict over control of the island. One player commands the Skaven, while the other leads the High Elves.

This standalone set provides the essential materials for play, combining two starter armies with a compact version of the Warhammer rules. It is designed as an entry point to the eighth edition, giving players a focused way to learn the game and experience its setting.

• Forces of Skaven and High Elves
• A small, pocket-sized rulebook
• A scenario book covering the battles for the Island of Blood
• Dice and templates necessary to play

Rather than presenting a single battle, The Island of Blood includes a series of scenarios recreating the struggle for the fortress island. Each player fights to conquer it for their own side, with the Skaven raid and Elven defense providing the foundation for the campaign of battles.

With its opposing starter armies, dedicated scenario book, and streamlined rules reference, Warhammer: The Island of Blood offers a complete introduction to the Warhammer Fantasy Battle eighth edition experience. Released in 2010, it brings the Skaven and High Elves together in a standalone contest for control of the island.
