About this board game
Warhammer Fantasy Battle (Third Edition) is a tabletop wargame for 2-99 players, with games listed at 360 minutes and a 1987 release date. Players command armies drawn from a huge range of fantasy races, including Humans, Dwarves, Elves, Undead, Orcs, Beastmen, and Skaven.
This third edition introduces a complex movement system and new specialist troop types, offering a detailed framework for large-scale fantasy battles. The starter set provides the rules needed to play, a core for two armies, and guidance for collecting and painting Citadel miniatures.
At the heart of the game is a 304-page hardback Warhammer rulebook. Its contents are divided into seven sections, taking players from the foundations of the game to its wider setting and bestiary.
- Introduction

- Forenrond’s Last Stand
With rules for the basic and advanced game, magic, specialist troops, and a broad fantasy setting, Warhammer Fantasy Battle (Third Edition) combines tabletop army command with the creative hobby of building and painting a collection of Citadel miniatures.
