Warhammer uses victory points to determine who has won the battle. Victory points (sometimes shortened to VPs) are a way of measuring how much damage has been done to the enemy army, as well as giving a value to other factors such as a better tactical position and morale-boosting endeavours like capturing enemy banners.

At game end (normally after both players had six turns), the victor is determined as follows.

First both players add up all their victory points, following the rules given on this page, obtaining a total victory points score for each player. Then they cross-reference the difference between the players' scores and the size of the battle on the Victory chart opposite to determine the magnitude of the result.
