Fantasy Battles: The 9th Age

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.

    No no no, don’t worry. Giants still have Rage…it’s their signature trait. It is still there in their Global Model rules. It just was not necessary to list it out since all Giants now have it and the rule has become a BRB rule as well.

    I find it more stable to put the scepter of power on the adept, IMO the two boosts of evo can be cast with 1 dice IF you have a safety with your adept. If I'm right, it is around 1/3 possibility to miss the casting with 2 dice (with the simple casting…

    After playing a half dozen games with double NG bricks (and losing most of them), I think it's time to throw in the towel. It's a neat concept, and I was definitely intrigued by their cost and RSR4 but end of the day you don't score big points with move…
