Warhammer Magic Guide: Lore of Fire
The core magic Lores in the Warhammer rulebook are a lot more useful, and hence see a lot more play, with the changes in 8th Edition. In this post we’re looking at the Lore of Fire. The Lore of Fire is, unsurprisingly, focussed on delivering large amounts of fiery death to your opponent’s troops (or “dudes”).

What are the differences between the editions of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay?
Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay has gone through a number of different publishers, many of whom have added their own flavour and touches to the system.
