Looking for a fresh way to enjoy your Warhammer Fantasy Battle games over the school half-term holidays? Empires is a classic campaign system that adds a whole new layer of strategy and storytelling to your games. Instead of just rolling dice on the tabletop, you can control entire territories, manage resources, and plan epic campaigns across a hex‑tiled map.
It’s perfect for a week of half-term gaming: each battle affects the broader war, giving you a sense of progression and stakes that single skirmishes can’t match. Build your empire, siege enemy strongholds, and watch the map evolve as your forces push forward — all while making full use of your existing Warhammer Fantasy miniatures.
This half term, don’t just play a battle — wage a campaign and let your armies leave their mark on the world!
The game is primarily designed to serve as a Warhammer Fantasy Battle map-based campaign and when the armies meet the battle is played out on the tabletop using your Warhammer Fantasy Battle rulebook and model armies.
