"Armies Of Death" is a single-player roleplaying gamebook written by Ian Livingstone, illustrated by Nik Williams and originally published in 1988 by Puffin Books. It was later republished by Wizard Books in 2003. It forms part of Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone's Fighting Fantasy series. It is the 36th in the series in the original Puffin series (ISBN 0-14-032486-0) and 14th in the modern Wizard series (ISBN 1-84046-436-4).

It is a sequel to previous Fighting Fantasy book "Trial of Champions" (the player assumes the role of the adventurer who successfully completed this earlier book), which in turn was a sequel to "Deathtrap Dungeon". However this book bears no resemblance to the two previous ones, despite featuring the same adventurer. The book contains rules for mass-battle combat.

tory

The reader assumes the role of the winner of the Trial Of Champions, who has a newly won purse of 20,000 Gold Pieces. The reader must defeat an evil Shadow Demon, Agglax and his undead army and stop them from taking over the region of Allansia by assembling an army bought with the gold.

Reprint

Wizard did not print a Special Limited Edition of "Armies of Death" due to the pressures of releasing the series in Australia at the time. [cite web|title=Interview with Simon Flynn on the official Fighting Fantasy website|url=http://www.fightingfantasygamebooks.com/interviews_simon2.htm]
