Old World Scenarios: Warhammer Battle Book (1996)

Back in the dark days of the mid-90s, I played a fair bit of Warhammer Fantasy. I played mainly 5th edition, which had many,  many books and campaign supplements released for it. One of those was the Warhammer Battle Book, released in 1996, and I just so happened to have found while having a clear out.

This book was awesome. Not only did it give a guide to each faction in the fantasy game, it gave colour schemes, lore, terrain tips, and much more.

There was even a very early version of Path to Glory, which I’m sure I’ll cover in a future article.

But I thought what may be nice for the Old Worlders is having access to the various scenarios included in the book.

I’ve updated these slightly for Old World, but other than the deployment maps and a few minor tweaks, they’re relatively the same as they were in 1996.

I will say that these are not competitive scenarios but rather narrative scenarios intended to be fun for both players.

So enjoy, and if you do play them, please let us know what you thought!
