Begin your conquest of the World of Legend with the Warhammer: The Old World Core Set, a complete starter box featuring the Armies of Grand Cathay and the Warriors of Chaos. Packed with two opposing armies, the full core rulebook, gaming accessories, dice, templates, a playmat, and reference materials, this set gives new and returning players everything needed to start playing Warhammer: The Old World.

Across the Old World, the relentless hordes of Chaos march south from their dark northern domains, spreading ruin beneath twisted banners. Standing against them are the disciplined soldiers of Grand Cathay, shields locked, standards raised, and artillery ready to break the enemy advance. This boxed set lets you command both sides of this classic fantasy conflict, pitting armored Chaos Warriors and brutal cavalry against the ranks, lancers, and war machines of Grand Cathay.

Inside the box, you’ll find 54 multipart plastic miniatures, including a balanced force of Warriors of Chaos and a full army of Grand Cathay. The set also includes a hardcover 352-page Warhammer: The Old World Rulebook with updated rules, Battle March rules, and artwork, plus a Core Set Muster Lists booklet for both armies.

Perfect for starting Warhammer: The Old World, building a new Grand Cathay army, beginning a Warriors of Chaos army, or returning to classic rank-and-flank fantasy battles, this core set is the ideal entry point into the World of Legend.
