Classic Fantasy Battles: Previews

Wargames Atlantic zeigen die kommenden Sets für Classic Fantasy Battles, ihr 10mm System.

Nach den Orks wollen Wargames Atlantic eine Zwergenarmee bringen. Für das Spiel ist eine Zwei-Spieler-Starterbox mit diesen Fraktionen geplant.

The game will launch with a massive two player box in late 2025/early 2026 and the armies will be Good vs. Evil. But those aren’t the only armies you can build in the game!

Our first two hard plastic releases are the Orc Horde (which is already out and we love seeing all of you building your armies!) and next is the Dwarven Host. These two forces form the core of the Good and Evil armies in the main game box. As such, we’ve done them as full frames with multiple units on each frame like cavalry, heavy and light swordsmen, spearmen, bowmen, crossbowmen, etc

Neu gezeigt wurden die ersten Skeletteinheiten

Im System soll man unterschiedliche Fraktionen kombinieren können:

In Classic Fantasy Battles armies can field a variety of units from a mix of races (sometimes Good and Evil armies can both field units from the same race – more on that below). So the Good army may have a mix of Dwarven units, Horselords cavalry, Elven halberdiers, Halfling pikemen, Landsknecht Ogre mercenaries, a friendly Giant, Treemen, and a variety of others. An Evil army may have several Orc units, a Goblin swarm, Landsknecht Ogre mercenaries, an unfriendly Giant, Boneblades (Undead Swordsmen), Boneriders (Undead Cavalry), and Trolls. An army may be comprised solely of a dragon!

That said, you could also build an all-Orc army, an all-Dwarven army, an Undead army, an army of Giants, an Elven army, etc.

Our release plan for the lead up to Classic Fantasy Battles is to focus first on units that will make up the two big armies. So instead of having a frame of Undead with 4-6 units on it, we’ll start with Boneblades – Undead Swordsmen. This will come on our new 1/2 size (113mm x 151mm) frame and you’ll get enough frames in the unit box to fill 9 40mm x 20mm bases with 12 figures each (108+ figures including command and casualties – and a lot of skulls!)

Sowie Söldner einsetzen können.

Almost every unit we make will have follow on units to build full armies. The exception might be for those races who make up mercenary units or races where their entire army is made up of one kind of troop type like the Horselords.
