Warhammer Old World: Rules Reference, Quick Reference, and Magic Lore Reference

If you have tried playing Warhammer The Old World there is about a 100% chance that you got rules wrong, spent tons of time flipping through pages trying to find things, or just throwing caution to the wind and just making assumptions to get through the game.

I'm hosting a large Warhammer TOW game at KublaCon later this month - with experienced Warhammer players - but even with that it has become clear that a proper "QRS" is needed for Warhammer, The Old World.

Now, I say "QRS", and that is part of this, but what is below is really a rules reference and QRS in one.  I have my own custom formatted army lists now (Old World Builder is great for putting lists together, but missing a lot of information for actually playing the game).

My objective here is to stop having to use books - keep them on hand - but not have to go to them during a game at all.  Secondly, and just as important, is practically I want to be able to have my "quick 2 pager" (near the back of this reference) on the combat side, and my army list entry, and be able to resolve any shooting or close combat without flipping any pages.


See above.  All three print outs are included in this reference.  All double-sided A4 pages.  Yes, even in the US you can print on A4 - easy to get the paper from Amazon and feed through your manual feed tray.  I print the main reference as one group (stapled together), then keep the single (double-sided) quick reference page separate, and finally the two double-sided magic lore pages stapled together.

I think this is the best I can get it for speeding gameplay and making it as easy as possible to get through a game without missing or messing up rules.

You can download this reference (PDF) from here.

DISCLAIMER: This is shared with the community purely as a "work of fan art" - I have no affiliation to Games Workshop and have created this for personal use.

Below you can see the pages from this reference.  It is a beast - but it accurately summarizes everything and organizes it (as best I could within the space) logically together by phase/sub-phase.

























More to come as I've finished several armies now and just need to take proper pictures.

Warhammer Old World: Skaven Expansion

Basing is slow going in the middle of High School Volleyball season, but I am stealing time here and there to get units completed.  I have sooooo much still to base.  Here is a bunch of recently completed units that are ready for the battlefield.

Lot's of Skaven clanrats are being based right now (6 units of 20 ... 120 clanrats).

Also put en Empire Wizard and Orc Shaman on a base ...

Once I get through this massive pile of basing I have to do there will be 5 full 2000 point armies (Skaven are 3500 points).
