About Warhammer: The Game of Fantasy Battles (5th Edition)
This is the fifth edition of very popular Warhammer Fantasy Battles wargame, a colorful refinement of the fourth edition rules, in which heroes and magic still dominate over units and war machines. Warhammer Fantasy Battles is a tabletop game for two or more players where you command several armies from a huge range that goes from Humans, Dwarves, Elves, Undead, Orcs, Beastmen, Ratmen called Skaven, and other fantasy races. This starter set provides you with all the rules you need to play, a core for two armies, and guides you through collecting and painting your own army of Citadel miniatures. The boxed set contains a 112-page softback Rulebook, a 152-page softback Battle Book, plastic miniatures from the newly introduced Bretonnian (12 Knights of the Realm, 24 Peasant Bowmen) and Lizardmen (20 Saurus Warriors, 32 Skinks) armies. It also contains plastic dice and range rulers, as well as cardboard playsheets, buildings, templates, and magic cards - everything required to start playing.
