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.

    @jaith1 I see the reference to Spears a lot -- I'm not sure this is particularly the use case being addressed. More Highborn Lancers (if it saves 3 models for instance, worth it), Sword Masters, etc. Also the points values were just those suggested (I…

    I agree that we have expensive wizards and high cost to healing but my biggest problem with our army is our core. I have a fully painted and converted army with over 200 skeletons/25 skeleton cav/120 archers/15 scouts but zero chariots. I can tell you…
