These titles are pretty niche here, though. I only mentioned the ones I know are really popular. Here in Poland t9A and ASOIAF seem to have more players (competitively, idk what people play at homes) than Age of Sigmar.

Finished at $75K, excited to see this do so well!!

Physical books are slated for delivery in October, so there's a bit of a wait now. But with their awesome art style, and additional artwork they'll commission unlocked at the very end, it should be worth it

Found a review https://comradewargames.com/2023/08/08/hobgoblin-battle-report-and-review/

I'm going to be trying it out this friday. Pretty excited, it really does seem like its the kind of RnF I like. I liked The Old World, but I don't like having to buy so many models to get a game in

And here's my thoughts: https://bat-reps.blogspot.com/2024/04/i-played-mike-hutchinsons-hobgoblin.html

I introduced my 9 year old son to the game with the pre-release rules, which were still in development but pretty much the full game. He had a bunch of fun, even though it was hard keeping his attention for a full game.

We used my Lego armies that I have been collecting for either this or Kings of War. I don't know if I would be able to keep his attention with Kings of War having more stats. He liked the speed of combat resolution, and how units are relatively similar within their unit "type", but with the strengths and weaknesses making them unique to their army list. It made it easy for him to remember that most units threw 10 dice when fighting unless they had a hero embedded, or were a ranged unit (which use half).

Those look great! Glad to hear the game was able to keep the interest of a young lad!

Thanks! If I remember correctly, this was a 2,000 point game.

For the sake of conversation, the green bases they are on are the minimum size for Wide infantry units, with flat tiles at the back for dry erase markers for tracking Doom. I have been working on several other units to represent monsters with/without heroes riding them, as well as artillery. All with the requirement that they must all be made from Lego (or competitors).

My son is geeked about Lego, so why not funnel that addiction into another!
