Setting up your Battlefield

Rulebook

The placement of terrain is described in Battlefield Terrain section For most games these guidelines are ideal. In addition, some scenarios might describe certain terrain features to include and give instructions for placing such features.

Some scenarios include guidance on the terrain features to include and where on the battlefield they should be placed. Most of the time, especially if playing a simple pitched battle, the placement of the terrain is left to the players. The recommended way to do this is as follows: Determine how many terrain features to set up, based on the size of your battlefield. From the terrain available, each player chooses a number of features, up to the maximum number of features needed. Once both players have chosen, the winner of a roll-off places the first terrain feature. Players then take turns to place a single terrain feature from all of those chosen until the agreed number of terrain features have been placed. Any unused terrain features are set aside. Players can place terrain features anywhere on the battlefield, but not within 12" of a terrain feature placed by their opponent, and not within 12" of the centre of the battlefield. The only exception to this are special features, which must be placed within 12" of the centre of the battlefield. Should the players agree, or should the scenario require it, battlefield decorations can be placed in the same manner.

Placing Terrain

Terrain plays an important role in games of Warhammer: the Old World, helping to set the scene and evoke the feeling of a battle fought in a fantasy realm. Whilst battlefields need not be densely covered in terrain, carefully placed and thematic terrain is essential, and cunning generals will learn to use it to their advantage.

Two armies, met by chance or by design, must now battle for supremacy! Who knows what grim deeds have brought them to this bloody ground? Whether they fight for glory, vengeance, justice or the simple act of slaughter matters not. When the sun falls upon the field, the carnage will begin, and only the routing of the foe or the fall of night will bring it to an end.
