These miniatures are the first new plastic Warriors of Chaos for the Old World for a very long time. They are packed with characterful details, and are ready to march from the frozen north to bring devastation everywhere they go.<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s not all that\u2019s on the way for the forces of Chaos. Can you hear the beating of fell wings on the air?<\/p>\n

Chaos Dragon<\/p>\n

The terrible two-headed Dragons of Chaos are nightmarish and malevolent predators. Only the mightiest of Lords can bend such a creature to their will \u2013 and with this new plastic kit, that could be you!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This imposing centrepiece miniature towers over the tabletop. It can alternatively be built as a Sorcerer on Chaos Dragon, making it easy to add speed, savagery, and sorcery to your Warriors of Chaos army at the same time.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Whether you build the Lord or the Sorcerer on the Chaos Dragon, you\u2019ll be able to assemble the other character on foot to support your marching Chaos horde.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Warhammer: The Old World Rulebook<\/p>\n

The new core set includes a revised edition of the Warhammer: The Old World Rulebook, which has been updated with all the latest online FAQ. This version of the rulebook will also be available separately, but this isn\u2019t a new edition of the game \u2013 your existing Warhammer: The Old World publications are still valid.<\/p>\n

Battle March<\/p>\n

The rulebook also contains the rules for Battle March \u2013 a small-scale way to play with 400-750 point armies, offering faster battles, which was first introduced in Arcane Journal: The War of Settra’s Fury<\/a>. It\u2019s ideal for representing raiding parties, vanguards, and outriders. If you\u2019re a general who likes a tactical challenge but wants a game that doesn\u2019t take as much time \u2013 lunchtime games, league play in your local hobby club, etc. \u2013 Battle March is for you.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Along with the rules in the rulebook, there will be a Battle March: General\u2019s Companion, packed with example muster lists, campaign rules, and six narrative scenarios. There are also additional rules and special magic items for use in Battle March games.<\/p>\n

Two new boxed sets will allow you to jump straight into Battle March \u2013 one for the Warriors of Chaos and one for Grand Cathay. These sets are also a great way to start a new army or easily add reinforcements to an existing one, including expanding the forces from the new core set.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Battle March set for Grand Cathay has the following miniatures:<\/p>\n

Arcane Journal: The March of Chaos<\/p>\n

As well as the new miniatures, the Warriors of Chaos are getting a new Arcane Journal. This supplement opens up new ways to use your Marauders, Warriors, and Knights as you spread ruin across war-torn Westerland and towards the border with Osterlund.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Along with background, lore, and artwork, the Arcane Journal includes a new Army of Infamy where you can combine the Warriors of Chaos with the Beastman Brayherds, and rules for your Wizards to manipulate the Winds of Magic in new ways. You can also create your own custom Champions of Chaos and Brayherd Chieftains to lead your forces.<\/p>\n

Card Packs<\/p>\n

Finally, three card packs are coming for Warhammer: The Old World.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Arcane Magic Ploys is new, and works with the new magic rules in Arcane Journal: The March of Chaos. The Common Magic Items and Lores of Magic reference card packs are also being re-released, updated with any errata made since they originally came out.<\/p>\n
