Warhammer: The Old World

About this board game

Warhammer: The Old World is a dark fantasy battle game for 2 players, with battles lasting around 210 minutes. Command orderly armies on square bases as you fight for dominance in a bleak, war-torn world.

Great armies and nameless horrors plague the land, while noble knights, undead hordes, and other fantastical factions struggle for power, glory, and survival. Heroes and monsters take the field as the threat of a gathering storm darkens the horizon.

Victory depends on how you arrange and direct your forces. Regiments clash in carefully formed lines, with generals seeking opportunities to flank, crush, and overwhelm their opponents. A well-chosen army combines different strengths rather than relying on a single type of unit.

• Infantry and cavalry form the core of a flexible fighting force.
• Savage monsters add terrifying power to the battlefield.
• Powerful war machines support the advance and shape the battle.
• Spells draw on the capricious Winds of Magic, which can help or hinder sorcerers.

Choose carefully before marching to war. The balance between infantry, cavalry, monsters, war machines, heroes, and magic can determine whether an army holds its ground or is crushed by the enemy.

With its regimented formations, dramatic clashes, and unpredictable magic, Warhammer: The Old World delivers a substantial tabletop confrontation in a setting defined by darkness, conflict, and survival.
