Hey! Just wanted to see if anyone in the Kingston area still plays or has interest in playing WHFB/9th age. I play 9th age with friends in belleville but would love to try and build a scene here in Kingston. If you're wondering what the heck is 9th Age think they old Warhammer Fantasy game but updated by fans. Rules for everything is completely free. If you liked WHFB you will love 9th Age. www.the-ninth-age.com/ |

I would be interested in giving it a try once virus numbers decrease.
I looked through the rules a couple years ago but I kind of hit the point where I need to play to get a sense for what I really think. It looked to me like it was heavily based on 8th edition wfb but with an eye on balance as opposed to selling the newest book. As someone who has played it would you say that is accurate?
Did they ever build up much of a story background to the world? I found the idea of byzantine skaven amusing. I used to play high elves and tomb kings.

This may be an odd question, but would Kings of War models be useable in 9th Age? I ask as I've started to out together a KoW force, and it would be cool to use them for two games. They are both rank and file games as far as I can tell (I'm assuming 9th Age is due to the fact that it's based on Fantasy). I've started up an orc force for what it's worth.

It is a rank and file game. I believe you can use any figures you want. Someone feel free to correct me there.

Hey!
Yeah I would say the game used 8th as it's base and built from there. Balance is pretty good in the game as it is just a rule set provided for free so their is no incentive to create rules that will push certain models.
Also the game isn't married to any single company though the majority of people are using their old whfb models but Kings of War or another company is fine. The rule is as long as its on the proper base and your opponent understands what is what then it is good to go.
Fluff is still coming out slowly but it is coming.
Once covid simmers down im down for playing games to teach new players.
