About Warhammer
The first edition of Warhammer Fantasy Battles was released by Games Workshop in the Spring of 1983. Prior to this release, the company dealt primarily with the importing of American Role-playing games, as well as support and review of gaming products through their periodical, White Dwarf. With the release of the third edition of the game in 1987 (as well as Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay the year before) the game moved from merely a set of wargame rules into a full-fledged fantasy setting.
In 1992 the fourth edition of the game was released, marking a newer era of greater mass-market appeal. Four years later the fifth edition upgraded both rules and miniatures, but did not fully replace core game mechanics, as previous editions had.
Warhammer Fantasy Battles is currently in its sixth edition (released in 2000), a change that dropped the card-based supplemental rules of the previous two editions, as well marked a shift toward balance-oriented tournament play. Re-releasing of old armybooks, beginning in 2006 with Warhammer Armies: Dwarves, has begun a new "rules recycling". A new edition is confirmed to be released in Autumn 2006. Various theories concerning its likely shape are being bandied about on many online Warhammer forums. The new edition is considered by many players to very likely be a minor upgrade of the sixth edition rules - fixing major causes for complaint, such as the magic system, and re-wording rules to make them more comprehensible.
