But why is that a big deal? And what’s this revived wargame about? To help clear all that up, we’ve put together this guide covering everything you need to know about Warhammer: The Old World. That includes an overview of its factions, rules, lore, availability, and more. You can hear our hands-on impressions of the game itself, too. Just want to see where you can buy it? Not to worry – we’ve got updates on where you can currently pick up Warhammer: The Old World. What is Warhammer: The Old World? (Image credit: Warhammer) Rather than being an all-new game, Warhammer: The Old World is more of a revival. It resurrects Warhammer Fantasy Battles (which was publisher Games Workshop’s first wargame) with all-new rules after it was shuttered over a decade ago. Basically, it’s a mass-battle system with crunchy rules and depth to spare. That means you’ll be commanding blocks of troops rather than the individual skirmishers you’d find in something like Warhammer 40,000. Because its universe is the stuff of classic swords ‘n’ sorcery, you can choose from a variety of fantasy staples as well. We’re talking knights in shining armor, dwarves, elves, and orcs. Warhammer: The Old World is an origin story for the apocalypseWarhammer Community Warhammer: The Old World is an origin story for the apocalypse So, why is this game called ‘The Old World?’ That title is a reference to its setting, which is commonly referred to as ‘The Old World’ in-universe. Sign up to the GamesRadar+ Newsletter Weekly digests, tales from the communities you love, and more That name has a double meaning, though. To be precise, publisher Games Workshop destroyed the Old World (via demonic apocalypse) in 2015 to make way for its new, follow-up setting - Age of Sigmar. As a result, the title is quite literal. Warhammer: The Old World release date (Image credit: Warhammer Community) The new wargame is due to hit shelves onJanuary 20, 2024. You can theoretically pre-order it now, but most products with an Old World label have been selling fast. In fact, some retailers ran out of stock just a couple of days after pre-orders began. We don’t know yet how often the game will be updated with fresh rules and new models, but it’ll probably be a few months until we get reinforcements for other factions. Warhammer: The Old World factions (Image credit: Warhammer Community, Games Workshop) At the time of writing, there arenine Warhammer: The Old World factionsup for grabs. While that’s not every army from the setting, there’s a good reason why some are absent in the game (which we’ll go into later). Here’s who you can play as: Kingdom of Bretonnia:A feudal kingdom of gallant knights and destitute peasants. They rely on weak, expendable infantry and hard-as-nails cavalry. This is one of the only factions to receive new miniatures so far, and it’s featured in a Warhammer: The Old World Core Set. This is tricky to find at the moment, but we’ve seen stock atThird Eye Comicsin the US and cheaper backorders atFirestorm Gamesin the UK.

While it’s true that there aren’t new models for every army (just Bretonnians and Tomb Kings at the time of writing), you can still use any Warhammer Fantasy Battle force you have lying around. In addition, these factions will apparently receive reinforcements at some point down the line. Which factions are missing from Warhammer: The Old World? Half a dozen armies have been left out of The Old World, and fans of those forces are understandably upset. These are the missing factions: Skaven- Vampire Counts- Lizardmen- Daemons of Chaos- Chaos Dwarfs- Ogres- Dark ElvesAccording to Games Workshop, they were left out of the party because they weren’t active (or were minding their own business far away) during the time in which The Old World is set. While thisisdisappointing, each of these factions will receive free PDF rules for use in The Old World. Warhammer: The Old World story (Image credit: Games Workshop) Because The Old World is set hundreds of years before previous plots (which played out across countless novels and the now-defunct Warhammer Fantasy Battles game), things are more peaceful than fans will be used to. Of course, that means it’s about to hit the fan in the worst way possible. When is Warhammer: The Old World set? Despite returning us to the universe of Warhammer Fantasy Battles (which was introduced in 1983), The Old World is set a couple of centuries before that story. More specifically, The Old World’s narrative takes place around 2276 on the timeline as opposed to ‘The End Times’ date of 2520-something. Although that era is every bit as grimdark as its future incarnation, things are more hopeful on the whole – the setting has enjoyed an unprecedented period of peace despite some political turmoil. You won’t see the Siege of Praag any time soon, but the wheels have been set in motion…Warhammer Community You won’t see the Siege of Praag any time soon, but the wheels have been set in motion… Naturally, it won’t stay that way. The pivotal Siege of Praag (which saw a massive Chaos horde invade, marking the beginning of the end) is just a few decades away, andthere are rumblingsfrom developers on the official Warhammer Community site that we’ll see those events play out on tabletop some day. Indeed, it was noted that “you won’t see the Siege of Praag any time soon, but the wheels have been set in motion…” Warhammer: The Old World US deals Kingdoms of Bretonnia Core Set |$254.99 at Third

What makes Warhammer: The Old World different? More specifically, your forces include rank upon rank of soldiers who move as a single unit. Positioning is far more important as a result; there’s a real focus on charges and where an enemy hits your troops, allowing for devastating flanking maneuvers if you play it smart. The Old World is still recognizably Warhammer, and still recognizable to players who play and remember [Fantasy Battles]Warhammer Community The Old World is still recognizably Warhammer, and still recognizable to players who play and remember [Fantasy Battles] Finally, The Old World is more ‘classic’ fantasy than Games Workshop’s other swords ‘n’ sorcery setting, Age of Sigmar. This is a pick-n-mix of everything cool about fantasy fiction. As per usual for Warhammer, all of The Old World’s models are supplied unassembled and unpainted. Notably, they also come with larger 25mm bases to help units line up easily. Can you use your old Warhammer Fantasy Battles armies? It’s been confirmed that you can-and are encouraged to - use your pre-existing Warhammer Fantasy Battles collection for The Old World. However, there’s a caveat. Some factions aren’t featured in the game’s time-period, so won’t get any updates or support for the forseeable future. In addition, competitive play requires you to use The Old World’s larger 25mm bases. Alternatively, you can put your models onto the new Movement Trays that provide them with an appropriate footprint on the battlefield. Why are factions missing from Warhammer: The Old World? Despite what you might think, the absence of some armies isn’t a comment on their quality or a cheeky sales tactic. Rather, it’s due to lore that was established quite a while ago – and long before this game came into being. For more recommendations, don’t miss thebest board gamesor theseboard games for adults.
