At least 25% of your models have to be from the Core section, 50% can be from Special and 25% from Rare, pretty similar to the main rulebook. You have a few basic rules to start with before you begin fighting however. The limit is 100 points, so as you can tell it doesn't require many figures (unless your Skaven.) and you can have loads of fun making your heroes and their followers individual. Regiments of Renown is a fantastic little game where you take your existing models from a larger army, or custom make your own heroes and lackeys and take them to the battlefield in very short but enjoyable battles against similar warbands. This pack was called Regiments of Renown and when I flicked through it I was immediately gripped by how awesome this could be. I, at one point, thought about coming up with a system that allowed for this kind of fighting and it's still present over on the Warhammer Fantasy forum somewhere but I was pleasantly surprised to find that Warhammer World had put together an altogether more professional and indeed fun package for some of their event days. Overall skirmish based fighting has always been a part of the Warhammer world.

They could then branch out and become unit champions for a larger army, or maybe even role-playing characters in Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay. This was another awesome way to build your army from the ground up, taking a handful of models from maybe even a single regiment box and customising them to make heroes and soldiers with character.

It still exists as Coreheim and Heroheim thanks to fans but it's not the beast that it was.Īt one point Games Workshop put out a supplement with White Dwarf called Path to Glory where you played as Chaos Champions (and later Beastmen) looking to prove themselves in the eyes of their fickle Gods and claim daemonhood through whatever means necessary.

Mordheim of course has been a constant source of skirmish based warfare for the world of Warhammer but it has somewhat gone the way of the dodo thanks to Games Workshop dropping Specialist Games. Since then there have been other variants. They were perfect for building up character within a larger campaign setting and it also allowed you to build a force from practically a handful of models. You might remember that a few editions back there was a variant of Warhammer Fantasy Battles which saw you playing as smaller skirmish level warbands taking to the field and completing scenario based narrative encounters.
