GETTING STARTED WITH THE EMPIRE
STEP 2 - GET THE BOOK
Once you've explored the idea of the Empire and decided that it's the Warhammer army for you, the next step to take is to get Warhammer Armies: The Empire.
Of course, to get the most from this Empire Army book, you'll need the main Warhammer rules! You can get these rules in the Warhammer rulebook (shown left) or in the Battle for Skull Pass boxed set. Either way, the Warhammer rules will help you understand the gaming information presented in Warhammer Armies: The Empire, and put it all in the context of the greater Warhammer world.
Every
Army book is divided into four main sections, each of which deals with different
aspects of the army. Warhammer Armies: The Empire contains:
The
Empire. The first section introduces the Men of the Empire and their
deeds in the Warhammer world. It covers the most pivotal times of the Empire
and the bloody wars that have forged it into the most powerful nation of the
Old World.
Forces
of the Empire. Every unit type in the Empire army is examined here.
Each entry includes a full description alongside complete rules and details
of any unique abilities that unit type possesses.
The Empire Army List. The army list takes all of the warriors presented in the previous section and arranges them so you can choose an army for your games. Units are classed as either Characters, Units, Special Units, or Rare Units and can be taken in different quantities depending on the size of the game you are playing. Each unit also has a points value to help ensure you can pit your army against an opponent's in a fair match.
The
Empire Army. In the final section, you will see photographs of the
range of Citadel miniatures available for the Empire army, gloriously painted
by Games Workshop's 'Eavy Metal team. Colour schemes for the different provinces
of the Empire and example armies can all be found in this section.
Once you've gotten your own copy of Warhammer Armies: The Empire, it's time to start building your army of miniatures.
