Where to Start?
Getting Started with Warhammer — The Game of Fantasy Battles
Warhammer is a miniatures wargame, where players command vast
armies of model soldiers in the struggle to outmaneuver and outfight
one another on a tabletop battlefield. This gaming action is set
amid a fantasy world like no other, where sorcery and monsters
are common on the field of battle.
The aim of every person who plays Warhammer is to pit their
force of miniatures against other players across fantastic battlefields.
Win or lose, all fantasy battles are entertaining challenges in which
you try to out-think and out-play your opponent, taking advantage
of
what
good luck comes your way, but ultimately relying upon sound tactics
to win the day.
To start down the road of enjoying this exciting game and hobby,
you'll need a few things! First (and most importantly), you'll
need
an army of miniatures. Next, you'll need to find an opponent — either
a friend that lives right down the street or someone you've bumped
into
once
or twice at your local Games Workshop Hobby Centre. However, before
all that can take place, you'll need to get your hands on the rules
for the game. There are
two paths into the Warhammer rules system.
 One
of the best ways to get introduced to this miniatures wargame is
through the Battle for Skull Pass boxed set. This set has
everything you need to begin your battles in the fantastic world
of Warhammer, from the full game rules to plastic scenery to fun
gaming scenarios to over 100 amazingly detailed plastic warriors.
Inside, you'll find the pocket-sized Warhammer rulebook that explains the rules,
a comprehensive group of scenarios designed to teach the game
as you play, and a massive pile of plastic Dwarf and
Goblin
miniatures. Battle for Skull Pass is perfect for both
starting and experienced gamers. Those new to Warhammer get to grips with
the rules, while veterans get a whole new army to paint and deploy on the fields of battle!
The second way to get into the game of fantasy battles is to simply
purchase the Warhammer rulebook outright. This comprehensive
set of rules has everything you'll need to know about the game
rules. Scenarios to play, full-colour pictures of
armies, painting tips, hobby basics — the Warhammer rulebook
has it all. Once you have the rulebook or Battle for Skull
Pass, it's time for the next step: choosing your army!
