Fantasy Battles: The 9th Age
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.

Today we mark a big project milestone. The 2023 Balance patch comes with it added background to the slim books. You may notice that in addition to amended points values across the army books, there is something different about this update. This is no mistake - we're thrilled to be launching our first slim army books containing introductory background for each faction and unit! These books represent a major milestone that we've long sought for the 9th Age, bringing the rules and background…

Like (Post)Edited my post in a few points. Nothing major. My games confirmed my initial impression. Such a good book. It plays fast, aggressive and the monsters are okayish. But the army stills feels fragile. And most players are in need to adapt. You actually get… -

Like (Post)Vermins will not get a book for TOW. Just a pdf, and I think this will be a very stripped down armylist without the "we break every second rule in rulebook" design of former Skaven army. (Sadly this concept is still in the 9th age vermin book) -
