About the game

What is Warhammer: The Old World?

Fight for dominance and overcome your opponents in this tight battle game with a dark fantasy setting. Discover a bleak, war-torn world where noble knights, undead hordes, and other fantastical factions fight for power, glory, and survival. In a time of growing darkness, great armies and nameless horrors plague the lands. Heroes and monsters fight, and the horizon threatens storm... Battles in Warhammer: The Old World take place between orderly armies of troops regimented on square bases, each determined to flank, crush and overwhelm the opponent. A good general goes to war with a mix of infantry and cavalry, supported by savage monsters and powerful war machines. Choose carefully. Spells in Warhammer: The Old World are powered by the capricious winds of magic, both helping and hindering sorcerers.
