Warhammer Historical
''Warhammer Historical Wargames'', also known as ''Warhammer Historical'', was the publisher of Warhammer Ancient Battles and other game systems. It was an imprint from the BL Publishing division of Games Workshop. From a leaked email from Rob Broom, who was the director of Warhammer Historical, it appears that Warhammer Historical is now a property of Forge World and his position has become redundant. In November 2010, it was reported that Games Workshop had dissolved the Warhammer Historical corporate structure. On 25 May 2012, Games Workshop closed Warhammer Historical as a publishing and distribution arm of the company. These games are no longer available to purchase new, and presumably, production of any new systems has also ceased.

Warhammer Ancient Battles
''Warhammer Ancient Battles'' (often referred to as "WAB" and sometimes Warhammer Historical) is a ruleset for miniatures wargames produced by Games Workshop's Warhammer Historical Wargames imprint. It is a rulebook for historical wargames developed from the popular ''Warhammer Fantasy Battle'' by Jervis Johnson, Rick Priestley and the Perry brothers. On 24 May 2012, Warhammer Historical closed their website and are now defunct. Playing the game Games of ''Warhammer Ancient Battles'' model hypothetical battles between historical armies. Battles are fought between armies of miniatures. The game is played on a table laid out with model scenery to look like a battlefield, on which the units of miniatures are maneuvered. Large numbers of dice are needed to resolve combat and shooting. Development Several of Games Workshop's staff had begun experimenting with using Warhammer rules to play historical games before ''Warhammer Ancient Battles'' was written, and ''Wargames Illustra ...

Warmaster
''Warmaster'' is a ruleset for tabletop wargames written by Rick Priestley, published by Specialist Games (a division of Games Workshop), and set in the ''Warhammer Fantasy'' setting. It is different from ''Warhammer Fantasy Battles'' in both appearance and gameplay. It is intended for 10 –12 mm miniatures. Basic troops are based on stands, of which typically three make a unit. Generals, Heroes and Wizards are mounted individually or with their retinue. Gameplay focuses on command and control. While magic is used in the game, its effect on the game is limited. The game is designed to focus on the general's ability to command rather than just his army's ability to fight. In the ''Warhammer 40,000'' universe, '' Epic'' fills much the same "large scale battle" role as ''Warmaster'' does in ''Warhammer Fantasy'', though the two systems do not share rules. Releases The original version, the fantasy ruleset ''Warmaster'', was first released in 2000.Battlegames Jan feb 20 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
