Warhammer Warriors


  This page is no longer being updated. For the new version, click here.

This series is nearly identical to the Lost Worlds series though it's somewhat faster-playing (which also makes it rather less diverse) and offers a character advancement system in which winning games can unlock new moves for later battles. The game has no solitaire play and is set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe.

 Kal Jerico, Necromunda Bounty Hunter
Designer: Rick Priestley
Illustrator: Karl Kopinski
First Published: 1999
Product Code: 6010 0299 001
My Thoughts: Kal is a delightfully smirky character particularly notable above all else for his "look behind you!" pose.

 Captain Leonatos, Blood Angel Captain
Designer: Rick Priestley
Illustrators: Kev Walker (cover), Karl Kopinski (interior)
First Published: 1999
Product Code: 6010 0299 002
My Thoughts: Leonatos is big, scary and heavily armed. Definitely good things to be in this game.

 Ephrael Stern, Sister of Battle
Designer: Rick Priestley
Illustrators: Kev Walker (cover), Wayne Reynolds (interior)
First Published: 1999
Product Code: 6010 0299 003
My Thoughts: Ephrael Stern is a fairly balanced character, having a little bit of everything (close combat, shooting, psychic powers). If you can survive long enough to get her established, she can become quite dangerous.

 Kharn the Betrayer
Designer: Rick Priestley
Illustrators: Kev Walker (cover), Wayne Reynolds (interior)
First Published: 1999
Product Code: 6010 0299 004
My Thoughts: Kharn is the character of choice for those who like to hack things to bits without thinking too hard about it. He's extremely dangerous thanks to his many attacks and his special ability of attacking even when he's not supposed to be allowed to.

 Eldar Exarch
Designer: Rick Priestley
Illustrators: Kev Walker (cover), Wayne Reynolds (interior)
First Published: 1999
ISBN: 1-84154-40-4
My Thoughts: After a series of characters with distinctive personalities, this nameless Eldar seems rather generic. Still, once the description of what an Exarch is has been read, it's possible to get into character and have some fun with this book.

 Tyranid Warrior
Designer: Rick Priestley
Illustrators: Kev Walker (cover), Wayne Reynolds (interior)
First Published: 1999
ISBN: 1-84154-39-0
My Thoughts: Although this book lacks individual personality in the same way that the previous one does, personality is less important when dealing with slimy alien monstrosities, and thus it is a welcome addition to the line.
