Any Guide to the World of Warhammer (Gazeteer)

By peterstepon, in Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay

Hey Guys,

I have no products of the new Warhammer RPG. I am interested in any books that give a detailed overview of the Old World in a detailed Gazeteer style. Are there any books that fit that bill?

Thanks

Well i dont know about the Gazeteer style, but a book i thought was really useful for a broad glimpse of the Warhammer world was: Tales from the Old World.

It is a series of short stories (15-30 pages each) which outline different areas of the Old World and its people. Includes stories fo chaos, the empire, bretonnia etc.

I picked it up at the book store for about 7 bucks.

Official gazetteers for each Imperial province were included in the 2nd-edition Sigmar's Heirs book, which is available as a PDF: http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product_info.php?cPath=36_4943&products_id=62849. It's a great book and worth having, I think; there isn't much in it which will conflict with the 3rd-edition world.

Those official gazetteers were based on work by fan extraordinaire Mad Alfred: his slightly modified versions are available at the very bottom of this web page: http://www.madalfred.darcore.net/Maps.html. I've found them very useful, though I'm tweaking somewhat as I want to start my run in 2512 IC (his are for 2524 IC or so).

I hope that's some use to you.

The printed book is actually on sale at the FFG shop right now for only $5. Would have been an obvious buy for me but for the brutal shipping costs to Europe.

Just pick up 4 books from said sale, Sigmar's Heirs being one of them. Was pleasantly surprised FFG even had these in stock.
