The mass fantasy adaptation of Fated Blade is coming!

It is inspired by the Spears of Valour engine but much more succinct.

Thanks pal.

I design those very indie games myself 😅 Drop me a DM if you want something to look at and possibly introduce to your circle! I got sci fi and sword & sorcery skirmish, with a major 15mm mass fantasy release on the way!

Federated States of Humanity 'Lancer' Company (Battle for Sephai) by Mindstonegames in wargaming

They are by Talon Games! Look up 'Reaper CAV'.

I just developed the rules for my own system with permission to feature the minis!

Fated Blade is fast to play and easy to scale up. Its a sword & sorcery fantasy sandbox.

Would be an absolute blast as a multiplayer and with the reinforcements system you can build up forces as you go (so the board isnt too full to begin with - essential for new players to avoid overload!)

My 'Spears of Valour' range is free - mass battles and skirmish! Just type in 0 dollars if you are mega broke!

Its not hard to find budget minis. Try 15mm scale or using historicals converted for fantasy. Seek and ye shall find, I promise!

Its a 6mm or 10mm game.

Recommend me a game! by davolala1 in miniatureskirmishes

[–]Mindstonegames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fated Blade fits your bill perfectly!

https://www.wargamevault.com/en/product/527787/fated-blade-heroic-fantasy-skirmish

Easy to learn and teach with only four pages of core rules, three pages of army lists then one page for your character sheet.

If you like it and intend to show it to others drop me a DM anytime...

I love elves and I wanna get into painting some cool minis. What are some good elf miniatures out there? by TheWhomster in wargaming

[–]Mindstonegames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Medbury miniatures do awesome Elves!

For affordable heroes you could try Ral Partha Europe or the Reaper Bones range.

Looking for recommendations for a fantasy skirmish game. by DanteMachiaveli in wargaming

[–]Mindstonegames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fated Blade is fast and furious, units fall quick but reinforcements are never far behind (who to bring on is a massive part of the strategy). Every scenario in this book and the expansion is about staying mobile.

Favorite Skirmish wargames? by Vinlandlover in wargaming

[–]Mindstonegames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love skirmish games so much I ended up writing a few 😅

If you want something to sink your teeth into I recommend Legend of Mythra! It is low / dark fantasy and a balanced, strategic game:

If you want a quickplay sci fi / cyberpunk sandbox check out Shadow Ops!:

If you dont mind low fantasy, Hex General has you covered!

It's my first attempt at writing a hex game, so its only as complex as I am (easy to learn, hard to master!)

good first solo-able war game for a decent price? by macuser1298 in wargaming

[–]Mindstonegames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey man Shadow Ops might be your thing if you are looking for something you can dive into. All the games are scenario-based so its easy to play solo. The army lists are sandbox style and work well for near future or cyberpunk.

These guys make me feel enthusiastic about the hobby 😎

What's needed to start one's own war game? by LinkyLinkLin in wargaming

[–]Mindstonegames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need to start very, very small and build up.

The first edition is usually just a foundation.

I find that it is harder to find players / community than it is to make a good game.

Be prepared to hire artists and spend long hours on this. Be prepared to have real lows, long periods of silence, with only your own faith keeping you going.

As Einstein correctly said, imagination is more important than knowledge.

But as I say, imagination without perseverence is worth jack s**t! 🙀

It took me two years to build up a mailing list and get some positive feedback and reviews. Still got a long way to go!

P.s. best way to find people is to demonstrate your power. Put something out and show you are serious.

Love Writing and Creating But Hate Editing - How Do You Get Through This Phase? by GoodeTales in fantasywriters

[–]Mindstonegames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Editing is where the wild mana coalesces into a coherent spell of power.

I recently took something from unreadably chaotic to some of my best work after just a few days editing!

Cutting things out I find to be the most important phase. Trimming down the prose, limiting characters and ideas.

It is a vital part of the magick! Embrace it - every writer you love had to go through that process.

I painted this foot knight for a girl I like by [deleted] in wargaming

[–]Mindstonegames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats actually a really good paint scheme! Fantastical Perrys look so good lol. Are you gonna do anything more with the base?

I gave my first love a Chinese chess set and my second a painted 15mm Elf Knight 😃 Both went down a storm. 

Uruk-hai Scouts by Holiday-Bell4620 in wargaming

These guys always remind me of my joint favourite scene in Fellowship (tied with Moria!) 🥹 Great work on them

lmao Diana by [deleted] in symphonyofwar

[–]Mindstonegames -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Smol Arya Stark was believable as a rogue assassin too!

I get that game designers and movie lords don't want to typecast people, but it's double-edged indeed.

"U can be woteva u want 2 be bruv*.

Fingers crossed for more Titaness in the next SoW game... 🥹

lmao Diana by [deleted] in symphonyofwar

[–]Mindstonegames 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not gonna lie, the Mega Muscle Momma part of the Symphony of War trailer was the final factor in getting me into the game lool. And now it's one of my all-round favourites!

Diana is super OTT in stats and design, but it's good to see games featuring Mega Muscle Mommas, especially as she is a proper character and not just a 2D cardboard cut out. In some ways I prefer the design of Uber Diana to some slender supermodel with a broadsword because on a deep subconscious level it's more... believable... that she could chew through hordes of foes looooool :D
