Warhammer Ancient Battles - Supplements

Supplements

The core rulebook includes army lists for "Early Imperial Roman" and "Barbarian" armies. A range of supplementary books has been released to provide more army lists, each focusing on a particular period and place.

• Armies of Antiquity. Released soon after the rulebook, this was intended to help players get started, by providing a large number of basic summary army lists. Many of the lists have been superseded by later supplements.
• Chariot Wars. Covers armies of the ancient civilisations in the Near East, and Trojan War.
• Fall of the West. Covers Roman and Barbarian armies of the 4th-5th centuries.
• Shieldwall. Covers the British Isles, France and Scandinavia in the Dark Ages.
• El Cid. Covers the Spanish Reconquista in the 10th-13th centuries.
• Alexander the Great. The armies of Alexander the Great and his enemies.
• Armies of Chivalry. Designed to extend Warhammer Ancient Battles to a slightly later medieval period, this includes new rules as well as a set of summary army lists covering Europe in the 14th-16th centuries.
• Spartacus. This book is based around a campaign following Spartacus' slave revolt.
• Byzantium : Beyond the Golden Gate. Covers the Byzantine Empire from 6th-12th centuries.
• Hannibal and the Punic Wars. Covers the Punic Wars between Rome and Carthage in the 3rd-2nd centuries BC.
• Vlad the Impaler. Covers the general time and region of the Ottoman Turks.
• The Art of War. Details the armies of Chinese history and prehistory, as well as those of its neighbours at the time (such as the Hsiung-nu), up until the Three Kingdoms era.
• Age of Arthur. Features armies from Anglo-Saxon England.
• Siege and Conquest. This features rules for raids, sieges and settlements. It does not include any army lists though it does include things that can be added to the armies derived from the lists in the other books. The reviewer in Wargames Illustrated considered a key feature of this supplement in that it facilitates battles that take more varied forms than a simple head to head battle.
