About this board game

Warhammer: The Game of Fantasy Battles (Fourth Edition) is a tabletop wargame for two players, with games lasting around 360 minutes. Released in 1992, this edition brings major changes to army composition, magic, and unit attributes.

Players command armies drawn from a broad fantasy world featuring Humans, Dwarves, Elves, Undead, Orcs, Beastmen, Ratmen known as Skaven, and other fantasy races. The game combines large-scale battles with the strategy of building and commanding an army of Citadel miniatures.

This starter set is designed to provide everything needed to begin playing. It includes the core forces for two armies, along with rules and reference material to guide new players through the game and introduce the process of collecting and painting miniatures.
