Description Edit | History

Wizard Kings is an exciting fantasy battle game with armies of elves, dwarves, orcs, undead, and three human armies (feudal, barbarian, amazon). Players customize their armies and fight for control of strategic cities and terrain on geomorphic maps. Wizard Kings 2nd edition is a re-release of the sold-out 1st edition.

Wizard Kings can play in as little as one hour or be used as part of a miniatures campaign for months. Victory conditions vary with the many possible scenarios. The new version is multi-player out of the box. A collectible expansion blockset has been released at the same time.

Wizard Kings 2nd edition includes 4 new maps, which are compatible with existing maps from the first edition. There are many new unit types and artwork, although first edition units remain valid for play.

6 Homemade army: Imperials (sheet)
This is 1 of 4 armies I designed years ago when there was only a first or second version of the gamerules, so I'm not sure it would still work now. Anyway, we've playtested these armies for several times and although some improvement would be possible, I still think I don't have to be ashamed for creating them :-) The artwork is stolen (thank you, elfwood.com) and so are a few rough ideas (thank you, Chris Farrell and Magnar S). I hope nobody gets mad at me ;-)
