Are the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay sourcebooks worth getting?
« on: February 23, 2015, 09:02:07 PM »
I'm guessing that since we're all Specialist Gamers, we're all in love with fluff and making scenarios more than list building.

I've read some positive comments about the supplements you can get for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, especially the Kislev one "Realm of the Ice Queen".

Has anyone found these books useful for coming up with army information / painting or scenario stuff?

Sigmar's Heirs has tons of statistics on the Empire. The Bretonnia guide, Knights of the Grail(?), does the same for the land of the Lady. Could be used for a campaign I imagine. The Paths of the Damned really flesh out Middenheim, Altdorf and Nuln if you need maps and ideas for sieging them. Haven't read the others since my group quickly got tired of the RP system. However, I believe, even without having read it that Renegade Crowns deserves special mention; describes the Border Princes and comes with a princedom generator if I'm not misremembered.

It seems like the pdf for Realms of the Ice Queen is on sale. Don't for how long it has been or will be, though.
