>What is /awg/? A thread to talk about minis and games which fall between the cracks, or people's homebrew wargames. /hwg/ doesn't entertain fantasy (for good reason) and the other threads are locked to very specific games, so this thread isn't tied to a game, or a genre, lets talk about fun wargames.
Any scale, any genre, any company, any minis. Skirmishers welcome. Rules designers welcome.
>Examples of games that qualify en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_miniature_wargames Grimdark Future, Age of Fantasy, Mighty Armies, Dragon Rampant, Of Gods and Mortals, Frostgrave, Ghost Archipelago, Hordes of the Things, Songs of Blades and Heroes, Freebooter's Fate, Dark Age, Beyond the Gates of Antares, LotR and anything that doesn't necessarily have a dedicated thread (gorkamundheim).
Bump for great justice! How on earth did the last one die so fast?

It ran for over 200 posts I think. We can die in the course of a week, or a day. It all depends on what's going on in the /awg/ world.
When games get new releases we generally have more to discuss.
We can discuss the Harry Potter game coming out, but I imagine it'll drvolve into waifu wars (of which Ginny will obviously win) or bitching about it not being available everywhere (justified bitching, mind).

Disregard waifus, attain esoteric spells.
seriously though, if people can just make their own spells for fightan, you'd think there'd be a lot more variety in fireworks besides everyone using the same curses all day erry day
Gonna veer away from current happenings though, and put forward a question.
What are some super niche wargames out there that you've heard of, or better yet played (yeah I'm that guy)? I've been snooping around, and here's a list of what I got right now that I want to do some batreps on.
>At43 (I've got the two player starter, working on getting a red blok force off a guy in a trade. Questionable if it's going to work out. Never played) >Anima tactics (Got a bunch of minis of a dude who had them sitting in his attic. Never played.) >Afterglow (Currently have nothing. Never Played) >Eden (Currently have nothing, Never played) >Godslayer (Currently have nothing, Never played) >Dark Age (Have a fairly sizeable core army, want to pick up a St Isaac force now. Never played) >MERCS (Have pretty much ever faction. Played 1e, was really fun, looking forward to trying out 2e) >Relic Knights (Friend got me into this, picked up a large Noh army and a few other small armies. Hated the 1e system, maybe 2e will be better) >Relic Blade (Got the two player starter and the dark expansion. Got in a few games with it. Great models but there's not nearly enough stuff in the box to justify the cost) >Bushido (Got into the rise of the kage kickstarter so I've got 2 forces, never played) >Helldorado (Really need to index my crap, I'm got a fairly large amount of models, certainly enough to make 2 forces, never played)
Was thinking of doing videos over mechwarrior clix because I got like, 3 large tubs of minis for 6 bucks at a swapmeet. Not sure if it really goes along with gaming aesthetic I'm going for though. Also have a bunch of confrontation stuff, but with the KS looming, it's up in the air.
Fixed. Just buy GW already you contrarian shitposters.

It got past bump limit anyway.
nth for Knight Models is a bunch of idiots.
Angel Sullivan
So no new news?
Noah Young
maybe from recasters.

Games I'm aware of and/or play? Let's see...
Dark Age Wrath of Kings World of Twilight MERCS Heavy Gear Blitz Warlord CAV Bushido Open Combat Cretacia Warzone At-43 Confrontation Chronopia Robotech Batman Kings of War Deadzone Deep wars Wild West Exodus Dystopian Wars Firestorm Armada Freebooter's Fate Wargods of Aegyptus/Olympus
I'm sure there are others I'm forgetting. I did reviews for some magazines a few years back so I got exposed to a lot of /awg/ stuff and now will gladly promote it just becayse fuck guys like
Of those I only really play a few because finding people who play them is tricky. I get in some MERCS with Bartosz from time to time (hoping to film a battle report once I put the final touches on my GCC), and there's another atore where the guys play KoW, Deadzone and Batman which is cool.
Some guy about 20 minutes north of me just bought into HGB so we're gonna work on playing in the future. I need to get painting that stuff, too.
