Hi There,

Following the release of the second edition of Warhammer Ancient Battles to widespread acclaim, lead writer Martin Gibbins has put together a detailed FAQ with the assistance of WABforum and WABlist members.

This document is available to download from the Warhammer Historical website here, and we have also put together a handy quick reference sheet to save you from flipping through the rulebook mid-game which you can find here.

The lavish new edition of Warhammer Ancient Battles is extensively illustrated with a plethora of diagrams, artwork and photographs of painted models, as you can see from these sample page spreads here and here.
The book also features a selection of new special rules covering the unique doctrines, cultures and weaponry of ancient times in order to add even greater depth and enjoyment to your games. There are also fully revised army lists for Romans and Barbarians, and a selection of sample army rosters from across the ancient periods, from the Egyptians of the New Kingdom to the Crusades.
This full colour large format 216 page hardback book features a fully updated and extensively revised set of rules for playing the epic battles of the ancient world. The new rulebook is £32, and is available to order here exclusively from Warhammer Historical.

Funnily enough, was watching Kingdom of Heaven just last night and contemplating crusades games.

Anyone on Dakka pick up the new WAB rules?

The new edition has smoothed out a lot of the rough spots from the 1st edition. So far I find it well worth the investment in a new rule book.

I seriously think I'm going to pick this up and do a Norse Viking army. It doesn't matter I won't have anyone to play against.

Build 2 armies and recruit someone to play against you.

Use the Wargames Factory Vikings for the bulk of your troops.

Build two small armies which can combine to one large one.

Since this is a Warhammer product, could I play this in my local GW store? Hmmmm

Those guys in the flesh are some of Wargames Factory's best work so far.

They won't like you for doing it. They want to sell Spase Mariens.
