This site uses cookies. By continuing to browse this site, you are agreeing to our Cookie Policy.
Fantasy Battles: The 9th Age is an independent table top miniature wargame set in a fantasy world, in which players take control of armies and set them upon one another in conflicts ranging from minor skirmishes to mighty battles with hundreds of models.
The game and all of its rules are completely free to download and use, and consist of a main rulebook and over fifteen army documents, ranging from stoic men and noble elves to the feral orcs and dread worshipers of the dark gods. You can easily assemble your own army using appropriate 28mm miniatures from any manufacturer.
Fantasy Battles: The 9th Age has been created by a group of experienced wargamers, a large supportive staff and continuous input from the wargaming community. We aim to provide a competitive, balanced and fun game, with updates and new rules to be released regularly.
We’ve created 16 unique armies from the Dread Elves in the west to the Ogre Khans in the east. Each army has different units and playstyles and can be represented by models from any 28mm model company. People said it was impossible, but we have created a game that is both balanced and fun. Don’t believe us? Try it for yourselves.
Happy wargaming.

So this weekend gone there a Tournament in the UK called A New Challenger. I've been using the KoE for most of the year but i've got sick of the constant updates and the chopping and changing of the army. I succumbed the call of the Beasts and went crawling back to what is the greatest army of the 16! No pictures i'm afraid, my phone sucks and taking pictures now causes it to spontaneously shut down. I'll buy a new one but i've models to buy you know!
For this i took the following:
So triple Cyclops and triple Briar Beasts, what's not to love?! Mr Mino was on holiday so he handed out control to the Beast Lord on the Razortusk chariot, I've never tried it before at a tournament so thought i'd see how he got on. Different Magic setup to what i normally use with 2 adepts instead of a master. Plus addition of a big block of Wildhorn instead of 2 ambushing units.
