Runewars Miniatures Game is in stores now! Are you ready for battle?

Our friends at Dragon’s Lair Comics & Fantasy have their shipment of Runewars Miniatures Game – which means FLGS around the US have them too! Will you answer the call and defend the realm or will you join the ranks of the fallen…

Here at BoLS we’ve been covering Runewars a LOT – it’s a fantastic new release and it has the full weight of the FFG machine behind it. There’s not much use for us to say at this point. We’ve checked out the models, shown off a demo, and we’re waiting for the new Latari Elves, too. At this point, it’s all about getting our miniatures tabletop ready and getting some more games in.

Check out the Painting Guide from FFG HERE.

In the coming weeks as the community at large gets their hands on copies of this game I’m sure we’ll start to see more trends emerge. I’m curious to hear everyone else’s take on this game play. Here at BoLS we’re digging the ruleset and the maneuvering. If you like the movement of X-Wing or Armada, you’ll appreciate this game’s too. I think the maneuvering is what separates the good players from the great players. It’s a real skill to develop, and once you get that down, then you’ve got the poker-esq type game of deducing your opponent’s moves. Like an onion, this game has some layers.

Runewars Miniatures Game $99.95

For years, the armies of Waiqar the Undying have stayed within their borders, launching only minor raids across the border. But now, a nameless threat stirs within the Mistlands, and legions of undead cross into the realm of Terrinoth under Waiqar’s command! The Daqan Lords have sounded the call to war, and their finest generals lead armies of warriors and golems to take up defensive positions in the border territory of Roth’s Vale. The first battles of the next great war are about to begin. 

RuneWars: The Miniatures Game is a two-player miniatures game of battles between the great powers of Terrinoth. In each game, you and your opponent will gather armies of miniatures and lead them into battle—blocks of infantry will maneuver for position, cavalry wings will wheel and slam into a weakened flank, and monstrous rune golems or carrion lancers will smash through formations of lesser warriors. Innovative command tools, two distinct factions, and countless ways to customize your experience combine to offer an unparalleled miniatures gaming experience in RuneWars. Finally, with forty-eight beautifully sculpted, unpainted figures, you’ll be able to paint and customize your armies to bring an entirely unique touch to your games and enter the hobby of miniatures painting!

 

What faction are you choosing? Or are you holding out for the elves?
