Your flanks have been overrun by speedy Goblin Wolfriders and you've got a rampaging giant charging into the center of your army. If you're going to save your forces and snatch victory from the jaws of defeat, you're going to have to come up with a great battle plan in a hurry! That's what Warhammer is all about!

warhammer

With Warhammer you become a fearless commander - painting and assembling mighty fantasy armies to do battle on the tabletop. Warhammer provides you with the core regiments of two armies, the valiant Bretonnians, and the cold-blooded Lizardmen.

In addition, you get all the rules, background, and information needed to start playing and collecting in readiness for battle!

Below is a rundown on the two armies that come in the boxed game:


There are no other men whose martial prowess can equal the Knights of Bretonnia. Bound by chivalrous vows, they fight for the poor and the innocent against marauding hordes of savage monsters.
As the commander of the Bretonnian army you will have at your disposal 12 Knights of the Realm - pledged to the service of the Lady of the Lake, upholding knightly virtues in her name. Alongside the knights you also have 24 bowmen, some of the finest archers in Bretonnia. Now you are ready to rid the world of the evil ambitions of the Lizardmen.


Lizardmen ruled the world before the coming of mankind. Now they rise again to reclaim their ancient birthright. Nothing less than conquest of the entire world will satisfy their cold and brutal hearts.
If you choose to fight with the Lizardmen you'll have 32 Skink archers. These scaly-skinned fighters are not the strongest warriors but they make up for that with sheer numbers, speed and cunning. You also have 20 Saurus warriors - brutish and savage creatures with extremely tough scaly skin. Both are driven by a hunger for world domination, guided by their bloated masters - the Slann.
