Mighty Warriors, subtitled "The Game of Heroic Adventures in a World of Fantasy", is an board wargame created by Games Workshop in 1991 that is set in the Warhammer Fantasy fictional universe and uses a randomly-generated castle map.

Description

Mighty Warriors is an introductory-level board wargame of miniatures combat for 2 players (or two teams of 2 players each). One side controls an evil gang of Skaven Ratmen (a Chaos Wizard and four Skaven Champions), while the other side controls a band of Heroic Adventurers (a Noble Knight, a Fearless Dwarf, and a Heroic Elf ). Each side tries to defeat the other side by discovering and capturing their command room.

Game components

The game includes army lists, magic tables, 36 skaven miniatures, characters, and followers. Modular tiles are used to make the maps.[1]

Setup

The players take turns drawing room tiles and joining them together to make a randomized castle floor plan. They also take turns to place their warriors (one at a time) into rooms, and finally, each player decides where their command post is located (represented by a small plastic shield).[2]

Gameplay

The object of the game is to capture the other player's command post. The heroes move first and follow this sequence:[2]

  1. Roll the wizard's magic to see if the wizard casts a spell, and if so, which one.
  2. Roll a die. The player can move any number of their band members a cumulative total equalling the number on the die.
  3. Ranged attacks
  4. Close combat

After the heroes are finished, the Skaven band uses the same sequence. Player alternate turns until the game is finished.

Publication history

In 1991, Games Workshop released a series of four board games that were designed to be introductory games for younger players. These included Space Fleet, Ultramarines, Karrunch, and Mighty Warriors;[3] the last one designed by Andy Jones, with artwork by Chris Baker.[4]
