Warhammer Mighty Empires

     It was one of those days where I was going to different websites that I normally don't go to.  One website  had photographs of WARHAMMER MIGHTY EMPIRES. MIGHTY EMPIRES is a hex based campaign rule set that is not a game in itself, but is used to generate WARHAMMER battles. The map itself is randomly generated.

       Of course it caught my eye because of the hexes themselves. They are larger than HEROSCAPE, with different terrain, such as rivers and mountains molded on them. The game comes with 48 hexes. One good point is except the 8 mountain hexes, all the other hexes have terrain on both sides, increasing their usefulness.  The rules themselves only are 5 pages long, with about 6 different languages in the rulebook.

     I think I could use my 2mm armies with these terrain hexes.  This "game" might sit in my closet for a while (maybe years?) before I actually use it. One good thing is the game is still available through the GAMES WORKSHOP website if anyone is looking for a set for themselves.
