Mighty Empires free Warhammer rules (PDF)

As any GW slave should be able to tell you, legendary Mighty Empires WHFB expansion (learn more) has been sort of re-released. Really, have a look. Problem is the new ME is no longer the Warhammer board-game/campaign rule set it used to be, but more of a lovingly and admittedly skillfully sculpted tile-based map system, that sort of heavily focuses on the tile bits. Actually it's just a collection of plastic hex-tiles accompanied by a ridiculous shallow and rather pointless rules booklet. My guess is you're supposed to either use your own campaign system or the pretty amazing one and more professional one from the General's Compendium.

Then again, the older version of Mighty Empires would be a mightily -tehe- serious alternative too. Happily, Games Workshop US have been kind enough to release the original 1990 Mighty Empires rulesbook in downloadable PDF format. For free! Simply follow this link and grab all 64 pages of it. Then hop over to GW's UK servers, click and grab some of the original tiles, print them on something sturdy and play away. It's absolutely worth it.
