Each model, grouped by the former armies (as now the game consists of only four major factions), has rules in digital packs. Any model released after that point has their rules packed in with them, in a similar manner to the early Warhammer model releases. One of the major changes is the complete lack of any upwards limit on what you can bring into a game, or any limitation at all really. If your opponent can only put a maximum of 100 footplodders and 20 elites with a monster or cannon, that doesn't stop you from putting as many models as you can fit in your start zone regardless of what they are onto the field. Furthermore there is no factional restrictions either, allowing a player to simply field the same ultra-powerful characters multiple times; this includes the Thor to [[Sigmar|Sigmar's]] Odin, the Celestiant-Prime, in a clone army made up entirely of copies of himself with each holding hands with an [[Archaon]].  </div></td><td class="diff-marker" data-marker="+"></td><td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div>The era of the Big Red Book ended with the true death of Warhammer Fantasy, and the birth of [[Age of Skubmar]].

The core rules, consisting of a mere 4 pages (making the game more simple than any Games Workshop ever put out, including 1e) were made available online. Each model, by the former armies (as now the game consists of only four major factions and there is no actual limitation on what you can take; in theory, you could pull from any model in the game), has rules in digital packs. Any model released after that point has their rules packed in with them, in a similar manner to the early Warhammer model releases. As it stands, only 40k continues to receive physical supplements while doomsayers prophesize the coming of Age of Emprah. </ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2" class="diff-side-deleted"></td><td class="diff-marker" data-marker="+"></td><td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div><ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"> </ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td class="diff-marker"></td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div>&lt;gallery&gt;</div></td><td class="diff-marker"></td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div>&lt;gallery&gt;</div></td></tr> <tr><td class="diff-marker"></td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div>Image:1e Fantasy.jpg|1st Edition, the books that started it all.</div></td><td class="diff-marker"></td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div>Image:1e Fantasy.jpg|1st Edition, the books that started it all.</div></td></tr> </table>
