Sweeping Overview

This book gives a great overview of the entire world of Warhammer - covering all the races, their motivations and backgrounds, history (including a timeline) and culture. The art was a bit bright and fancy, but I came away aghast with the depth of this world.

nice..

fantastic book from the man who worked as deputy editor for GW's citidel journal... and may I add, put so much bloody sweat and beer into it that it actually got out on time for the few month's he was there... (nice one)...anyhow, the book, ignore the front cover (not my fav piece of artwork) but you should never judge a book by it's cover.. a fantastic read, very imformitive and enlightening and great for both new player and old veterans. :)a definate buy for all GW or warhammer fans!

Incomplete, but good

As an avid fan of the Warhammer RPG I enjoyed this book. However, it barely mentioned the Halflings and Araby, and did not mention the Gods of Law at all. The material that was there was interesting, well presneted and thoroughly entertaining.

Excellent general history of the Warhammer world

This book is a wonderful addition to any Warhammer fans library. With great illustrations on every page and a time line and "Heroes and Villians" section this book is very entertaining and interesting from start to finish. I loved it.

Good Overall Background Summary

This is a good book for someone new to the world of warhammer, but there are misspellings, and a few mistakes as to who does what. It has a good timeline which outlines what each race does throughout the history of the warhammer world. I would recommend this to anyone wondering what warhammer is about.
