Warhammer 25th Anniversary Rulebook



As part of their 25th anniversary celebrations Games Workshop are releasing a limited edtion rule book, called; "Warhammer 25th Anniversary Edition Rulebook". This is what GW had to say about it;

To celebrate 25 years of Warhammer, we're releasing a very special edition of the game - the Warhammer 25th Anniversary Edition Rulebook. Released as a numbered, limited edition of 2,500, the embossed case contains a hardback leather-bound copy of the current rule, printed on silver-edged, premium-quality paper. Also included in the case is a facsimile copy of the first edition Warhammer rulebook.

Price: £100.00

As with all limited and collectors editions they come with a wopping price ticket. But like what I always tell myself is its an investment for the future, plus you can show off to all your mates. With the release of 2500 books, it will most likely take a few years before your able to make a few bob on eBay (if you ever wanted to sell it that is. I've never could bring my self to part with my hoard of collectors and limited edition stuff regardless of the value), however I bet they'll be up for sale as soon as people lay their hands on them.

Lets have a look and see ...

I love Limited edition stuff.

Stay tuned guys more to come ...

In the tales of the Norse and the Kurgan, there is a legend that concerns one of the greatest feats of arms ever seen in the northlands. It tells of the great warriors Harald Hammerstorm, known fondly to his followers as Harry the Hammer.

Waaagh! Gorbad

Gorbad Ironclaw and his tribe, the Ironclaw Orcs, absorb the Broken Tooth tribe along with the local Goblin and Night Goblin tribes, forming Waagh! Gorbad. The Waaagh! marches through Black Fire Pass to attack the Empire under the Emperor Sigismund. Gorbad's army conquers the territories of Solland and Wissenland, but Gorbad himself is wounded in the fighting. At the fortress of Altdorf, the Waaagh! is kept at bay outside the city walls. Gorbad unleashes Wyverns upon the city, who throw the defenders into disarray but are ultimately repelled without achieving their main function, which was to destroy the city gates. Eventually, the lack of progress and Gorbad's injury take their toll on morale, and the Waaagh! subsides and disbands. The remnants of Gorbad's tribe are ambushed and defeated on their way home by a Dwarf army under the King Karaz-a-Karak. It is not known if Gorbad survived the encounter.

Orcs

Orcs are large, stupid creatures with long arms and short legs, like gorillas. Huge slabs of muscle move under tough green skin, and their jaws are lined with vicious fangs that jut out from their underbite. They have beady red eyes, a generally foul demeanor, and are naturally bald. Normally six feet tall, they are up to seven feet tall when stretched out of their characteristic stoop. They respect power and strength, and naturally tend towards becoming bigger and stronger as they rise through their society. While they lack the education of more advanced races, Orcs possess immense cunning and are quick learners, but rarely adopt new tactics to replace their fondness for close quarters brutality.

Black Orcs were originally created by the Chaos Dwarves to use as slaves, but have since rebelled and found a place in regular Orc armies. They are even bigger, strHTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Wed, 20 Aug 2008 17:16:34 GMT Server: Apache X-Powered-By: PHP/5.2.5 Connection: close Transfer-Encoding: chunked Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
