In contrast to Warhammer Fantasy’s mud and rust, filled with peasants and warriors battling over a packed historical setting, Warhammer: Age of Sigmar was set after a time of myth and monsters in the high fantasy setting of Mortal Realms After many years, it then released a supplement for the eighth edition of Warhammer Fantasy, End Times, and followed through on its portentous name by blowing up the whole setting.įrom the ashes of this setting grew a seed - clinging to it were a few factions and some very loose rules that erred on the comical, known as Age of Sigmar. For over 30 years, Games Workshop produced a tabletop miniatures wargame in a fantasy setting that dealt with regiments and monsters duking it out over the land colloquially known as The Old World.
