Oh yes, you heard us right, there have been some cracking Warhammer fantasy videogames over the years, spanning different formats, genres and settings, from the old days of Warhammer Fantasy Battles and the ‘ Old World’, to its successor setting, the rebooted, remixed kaleidoscope that is Age of Sigmar, and its Mortal Realms.
