Ive been wanting to get in to a game called Relics but cant find a place in the United states that carries the models so i wanted what you guys think is a good fantasy skirmish game.

Hi Cody

Warpath sell Relics:

Think Maelstrom Games do too and iirc have free shipping to the States
hth

ive tried warpath but it i think they only sell to stores.

Ah my bad

Try Maelstrom.

I made account on there and trying to order but it doesnt ask what state im in and i was wondering if counties meant state for me or not.

Most sites will give you the state option after you choose US.

Brushfire is a good, affordable, fantasy skirmish.

A few stores in Georgia carry it, such as Giga-Bites in Atlanta, and Arsenal Games & Hobbies in Augusta.

Or alternately you can order it directly (from North Florida)

I was actually about to order the rule book or that game also, i love the look of it, and seeing as how my game store is gigabites that will work.

Good stuff, Dave runs a fine store

Yes he does, really cool guy, they actually got a new place alot bigger i think they moved in 2 days ago.

Song of Blades and Heroes. Fast, and easy to learn with a great activation mechanic and completely customizable units. It's my club's go-to fantasy skirmish set,
http://www.ganeshagames.net/fantasy/
It's also only 5 bucks, but is supported by a wealth of good supplements.

Then just go to your FLGS or online and buy whatever fantasy minis you think are best and use the force builder to stat them up! No need to have to convince your friends to all buy into the same line of minis makes it alot easier to get a game going.

Thing about SoBH and all the Ganesha games is they don't exclude using figures like Relics or Brushfire. So you get a lot of diversity and use from your minis.

There is also Unbridled Fury rules for free to download from Tor Gaming which also allow for different minis to be used.

Hey cody,

Just to let you know, the first US stock is leaving us today to start it's merry trip across the pond.

I know a few stores are taking the range from the distributor (Warpath) but the only one I know of specifically that have a webstore is FRP (http://www.frpgames.com/cart.php?m=product_list&c=3132)

As Chibi says, you can also make use of Unbridled Fury for skirmish games. It enables you to make use of any figures you have by allowing you to build just about any profile you want.(there will be a Relics specific game out in the near future that makes use of the Unbridled Fury rules)

You can find the UF rules here for FREE: http://www.torgaming.co.uk/rd/unbridled-fury/

Counties is the same as State buy the way.

Cheers
Gavin.

Totally off topic, but the new Giga-Bites looks amazing. It is about 200 feet down the road, to the right if you are standing infront of the old store. I saw the place with the old tenant and I don't know how they fixed up that old hell hole. Tanya said they needed someone like "Crime Scene Clean Up" just to be able to paint the walls. It is amazing now though, with lots of space!

I second the recommendation for song of blades and heroes. It’s easy to learn easy to teach, and the average sized battle only takes 30-45 minutes.

Also slightly OT, but FRP is Warpath Games.

As to the Relic figs themselves, if they float your boat, then go ahead and get them, whether or not you end up playing the game, as you can now see there are plenty of options for rulests that will allow you to face your Relic figs against figs from Brushfire, Warhammer, Reaper and others.

In a recent SoBH game we had figures from Reaper, Mage Knight, D&D, Ral Partha, Magnificent Egos, Fantization, Dark Sword and 2 others on the same table. Sounds wierd, but with carefull figure seleciton and a unifying theme or color scheme, it's surprising what figures end up playing well together.

My motto for this type of thing is that:
Rules should never be a barrier to collecting cool figures!

Ive always though the same thing with the models to, ive played games that people dont know but i do it for the figures, painted and played it actually looks really cool.
