Rules for Mighty Empires

Post by Alfer »

Me and my friends have just bought a box of Mighty Empires, but the rulebook were missing. I wonder if any1 of u know where I can find them on the internet (pdf/torrent etc. or just a page where they are to be found)?
(my local store doesn't sell them separate from the box and we want to keep the costs down)

Check the gw site - the mighty empires bit:

There were also some good campaign rules in a white dwarf a while back (the one with the chaos marine on the front).

But I have to say, you're not missing much - the actual booklet is like 4 pages thick and only gives you a very rough guide, saying that its up to you to make up the rules =)

Hi Alfer, i too have bought mighty empires (even if a few months ago), and let me say that, while the plastic stuff is very good ( landmarks and counters etc..) the rulebook accompanying it is, at best, lacking in quality and most of all in quantity!!!
i don't remember how many pages it is made of but i well remember reading it in about 10 minutes and thinking " ?!@#! that's ALL??? ". basically the new edition of mighty empires takes the veeeerrrryyy old mighty empires rules, strips them of all the funky and funny stuff, and then say: "well that's it, if you like... but remember: you can still play Mighty empires with any ruleset you want!!!"
..and that is, of course, true... nonetheless i felt a little cheated, back then.
so... if you want the actual booklet in this edition of ME: good luck, but i can't help you.... instead if you would like some advice: get the Lustria Campaign book (they published it a couple years ago) it presents a very fun system of rules wich you can use for your plastic hexagons and counters... and if you want the Mighty Empires rules..well grab the old ones! they are fun!

IIRC the original version was somewhere on the old GW site. No idea if it survived the reshuffle of the whole site.
