As I promised, today we will present a fragment of the rules. One of the fundamental principles we had when designing Norsgard, was to create a feeling of epic battles. To do so, we needed our heroes to stay alive longer but not to the point where it becomes tedious.
To fulfill this promise we created a unique wound system, which, while being simple, offers a wide range of options. After being hit, our warriors suffer damage and lose some Health Points (HP). Next, we compare our new HP status with a corresponding wound table. Using this new table we will make a roll to see if the damage we received didn’t have any further consequences to our model.
Thanks to this mechanic a low damage strike on a heavily wounded fighter will have a much more dire outcome rather than on one that has retained its full strength during the course of the battle.
We also made sure that the game is not luck-based. There is nothing more frustrating than a string of ultra-lucky dice rolls made by your opponent while he eliminates a combatant after a combatant from the board. To be able to finish of the enemy, you will first have to tire him down by reducing his HP to 1 or 2 points, while the average HP level differs between 8 to 12 points.

Reminds me of Confrontation 3, or maybe 3.5 ---> back before Confrontation became Confragnarok PrePainted!

And yes, that is a good thing!

REALLY looking forward to this one now...

You should add a variant where you have a character on the brink of destruction, where the player can decide to sacrifice the character for one last final attack. So he dies without anyone attacking him, but he'd get to do one final attack himself.

haha.... there is something like it, but this is ability called Final Attack - it is Mork Tribe exclusive

Rules preview looks very interesting. Interested to see more.

Some of the art reminded me of the Kelts in Confrontation as well, particularly the large bladed weapons without a guard, as held by the berserker. And the wound rules are almost a copy. But overall it looks great so far.

I'm interested, keep the updates coming!

Sounds interesting you need to do some clean up on the English versions of the wound section but I understood what you were going for there younger children might have problems with it.

Thanks for positive comments. In the rulebook I will put examples and it will make the rules much easier to understand. In next week I will try to show another part of rules. Also do not forget about campaign mode! It adds a lot of character to the games.

Starters will be ready soon. So, let's start this week with something positive. Cover for The Howling Horde (Mork Tribe) starter box. As always more news on Thursday.

I hope that you will start gathering your friends and will start playing as soon as the game will be released!

This is awesome, Pawel! I get a really Confrontation-vibe going from this. So keep it up.

Mind if I ask who has done the art? I might be interested in contacting that person for some art. The style is great.

Thanks Grefven! It was always nice to hear comparison to such great game & universe as Confrontation. For sure it was awesome product and reaching such quality will be awesome. I also hope that you will try the game. Currently, we are making final corrections in the rulebook. It is in my humble opinion nice gam to play... ok, I will tell more about rules another time.

Arts on starter boxes covers are done by Olivier Trockle vel. El Theo. Indeed, he is awesome artist and has very characteristic style .

Today another preview! We were working in last months and finally time has come to show more miniatures, which will be released in Norsgard range.

Vei-Banshee! I know that some of you were asking for the variant with mask on a face. I hope that you will be satisfied.



Please show this to your friends. I hope that you will find opponents in order to play the game and fully enjoy the challenges awaiting for you in the world of Norsgard.
For sure I will show something more in this week!

With Norsgard’s premiere just around the corner, we present a new version of the Innri Guard but to spice things up we also decided it’s high time for the second Fallen sculpt, which will be available in the orc starter … and while we’re at it let’s take a look at the box art for the orc army. We hope that you will find it to your liking just as much as the Mork Tribe one.

Concerning the Rules, we will have more info later next week, as we now do the finishing touches to the Rulebook, which in couple of days will be available for free download at our site.

Bring your friends to the battlefields of Norsgard, as for those who buy both starter boxes we have a discount. We not only wish to sell high quality miniatures, but also fill Norsgard with the beat of war drums and epic clashes of deadly foes.

Today it is time for final preview! Dark Guard will be commanding mighty Scarlet Watch army and you will find him in the Scarlet Watch starter box. I also decided to put in the photo miniature from Infinity range in order to give you some scale of orcs.




Starter boxes will be available in our store next Friday!
