Transcript:

Ages ago, the world was a paradise populated with Men, Elves, and Dwarves by the Old Ones using Polar Warp Gates which transported matter through the Chaos Realm, but an unknown calamity destroyed the gates.

For centuries, the influence of the Chaos Gods poured through the broken gate, corrupting men and beasts in the North as the races of the Old World battled in the South. The Empire of Men, the most easily corrupted, were once united under the heroic Sigmar, but greed and lust for power have divided them. One man, Karl Franz, fights to unite the Empire once more under his banner.

Meanwhile, in the mountains, man's ally King Thorgrim and the Dwarves march from their strongholds to right the injustices recorded in their Book of Grudges, but the Greenskins under Grimgor Ironhide, hungry for combat, have resumed their vicious attacks. Unfortunately from the growing casualties on the battlefield, an undead army is being resurrected by the Vampire Count, Mannfred von Carstein, returned from an unholy pilgrimage, his motives shrouded in mystery.

You must decide the Old World's fate. Command great armies, deadly dragons, and powerful machinery to destroy the Chaos that threatens civilization or spread its corrupting influence because the only solution in these dark times... is war. And downloadable content.

Have fun!
