Hullo everyone!
I recently started playing a bit of WHFB with my gf, and we are both having a blast.
We really would like to try out a campaign sometimes, but I came across quite a problem: every campaign I found out online is designed for 3 or more players to work properly.
I'm really getting desperate, and I'm asking for your help guys!
Do you know (or even better, did you make) any good Warhammer campaign system that works for 2 players as well?
Map campaigns are the best imho, but tree or ladder campaigns would be a good starting point as well!
Thank you all so much, I hope you can help a fellow player out!

Adrift within the vortex of my imagination.

Look for the 5th edition warhammer campaign packs on auction sites.

There are many decent ones, my favourite being Idol of Gork, the story of an Empire colonial expedition seeking to settle new lands. The lands were occupied by several small goblin and orc tribes which were defeated in detail, things went well until an ignorant noble scion ordered a greenskin idol destroyed to free up room for a watchtower. This act united the disparate orcs and turned the expedition into a desperate battle for survival.

n'oublie jamais - It appears I now have to highlight this again.

It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion. By the juice of the brew my thoughts aquire speed, my mind becomes strained, the strain becomes a warning. It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion.

Sounds good, I'll be sure to check it out! Thanks a lot!

Find the General's Compendium. Has the border princes map campaign in it.

Barring that 8th edition did have some campaigns as well.

Tamurkhan from forgeworld was one of the best I've ever played. Though you'll pay for that book today.

There was lustria campaign book.

There was Sigmar's Blood campaign book.

Those were the "official" campaigns. I had a very detailed campaign based off of Mighty Empires but since AOS came out I have removed all my files and I'd have to find that one again.

Adrift within the vortex of my imagination.

I bought nearly all the scenario packs but drew the line at forking out for Tamurkhan.

As they are out of print there is no harm in going to scribd.

Sigmar's Blood was a good campaign book, very polished and included terrain I thought was released for Age of Sigmar, actually I think the 'Realmgates' did land too late but there were originally showcased in Sigmar's Blood. The book is also the source for many of the special units and the Hermann Ghorst character you see in Total War Warhammer. So if you wondered where Hermann Ghorst came from now you know, though I don't see why he was chosen above other Vampire Counts Legendary Lord choices they could have done.

If you can tell us what armies you have Ananik95 we may be able to tailor a better reply.

All your replies are very helpful, thanks a lot!
Tbh any army is ok, as we play a lot with subsitute models

Adrift within the vortex of my imagination.

Here are all the two faction campaign packs I know of.

Circle of Blood - Bretonnians vs Vampire Counts (5th)
Perilous Quest - Bretonnians vs Wood Elves (5th)
Idol of Gork - Empire vs Orcs and Goblins (5th)
Tears of Isha - High Elves vs Dark Elves (5th)
Grudge of Drong - High Elves vs Dwarfs (5th)
Sigmar's Blood - Empire vs Vampire Counts (much bigger than the rest, and the only 8th edition book)
Return of the Lichemaster - Bretonnians vs Vampire Counts (this can go back to 2nd edition or as late as 5th, this was the first published pack and introduces Heinrich Kemmler the universes oldest special character. Includes the battle for La Maisontaal.)

You don't really need to own any of them, and if you do they are worth more with the cut outs intact, it is enough to have enough info to glean the plot. Most are fairly well written, but model availability and game scale can vary widely. Sigmars Blood recommends very specific units which you may not have, though if you are substituting everything that might not matter so much. The rest just give a points limit and a list of specific characters relevant to the plot, both of which you can mess with. All the older packs can be updated for later editions, though you will need some work 'translating' the Return of the Lichemaster units as the game has radically changed since then.

Thank you very much sir, you've really been incredibly helpful!
I'll try my best into translating the older campaigns, looking forward to it
