This is the eight edition of very popular Warhammer Fantasy Battles wargame, the rules break with most of the classic rules in others editions allowing pre-measuring and changing the charge mechanic now dice-based. Warhammer Fantasy Battles is a tabletop game for two or more players where you command several armies from a huge range that goes from Imperial Humans, Dwarves, High Elves, Undead Vampires, Orcs, Beastman, Ratmen called skaven and lots of races. This book provides you with all the rules you need to play, and guides you through collecting and painting your own army of Citadel miniatures. The Warhammer rulebook is a massive 532-page full colour hardback book. Within its covers the book is divided into four mighty sections. The Rules tell you how to field your army on the tabletop; the Warhammer World delves deep into the background; the Miniatures Showcase is page after page of gloriously painted models; and Warhammer Battles explores the depth and breadth of the hobby.
