It was the time of legends. The wild lands of the Old World were inhabited by scattered tribes of people struggling to survive. They endured troubles and hardships, suffered from attacks by cruel orcs and merciless beastmen, and died in absurd civil strife. During this dangerous time, a young warrior, famous for his exploits, became the leader of one of the tribes. His name was Sigmar the Hammer, and his deeds changed the course of history. Having planned to unite the tribes, Sigmar chose the difficult path of struggle and bloodshed. This is a legend about the great battles in which the fate of the future Empire was decided.
