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.

    I think there is too much vacuum thinking and cross army comparisons involved. Price decisions should be dominated by pickrate. No need to overthink it. Just some few exceptions (iconic unit for example).

    You do not get reroll to wound with alchemy (apart from glory of gold and flaming banner ofc), as attribute only works against melee attacks.

    Well what about Elder? Or something akin to that. Loners are, after all, usually quite old by Orc standards.

    About LiC, I'm not sure that has to be nerfed, but if, what about looking at it from a more mathematical angle: Since it is always rounded up, instead of saying: "half the casualties" you could also say "ignore each second casualtie in melee" and from…

    Was already discussed, haven't seen anyone particularly fond of Loner. While Maverick might be a good match, I fear hardly anyone out of Texas or Australia knows the original meaning, and people will always just think about a jet pilot. Rover, Rambler,…

    I am the first to throw half the egaler banner effect over board (be it either minimized or reroll). But there is such an overwhelmingly large majority of players stubbornly insisting on any game being unplayable when success chance of a Dis test is…

    Last weekend I participated in a small tournament of 10 palyers. It was also held as a training camp for the ETC, and as such some pairings were tweaked to better help with that. The list I took was very reminiscent of my earlier lists, and with this…

    On ne sait pas où on va, ni comment, ni pourquoi ... mais on y va. C'est un peu frustrant comme annonce avec aucune info particulière ni ligne directrice. On pourrait croire qu'il s'agit d'une réponse à ToW, mais non. L'arrivée de la phase test en 2025…

    Sorry guys. Yeah not trying to be funny at all. We in Australia aren't laughing. I'm not sure of the nationality of the majority who write these rules sets so I can imagine there is always something a bit lost in translation. To me Loner has no great…
