Ben loves his fantasy games and nothing would but he would get to take a little time out of the day to get a catchup and some info on what's going to be happening with our winner of game of the year for 2015.
Also you could win a copy of the new book Horizon Wars.
Horizon Wars looks fantastic!
Cool to see more plastic kits are coming, the last two were great.
This new game looks great
Frostgrave is pretty cool and even though I have some objections I love the game very much. As I have now about 6 games from Osprey I am in for Horizon Wars as well.
I really would like to check out frostgrave it looks like a ton of fun. Go ben for keeping an eye on the fantasy games!
I must know more. Horizon wars could be super cool, and Frostgrave enjoys a special place on my gaming shelf.
frostrave, horizon wars… all good and well, but what’s viking santa doing on that banner???
looking forward to horizon wars – used to play old gw “epic” so it’ll give me an excuse to drag those minis back out
I have never played Frostgrave, but I wouldnt mind giving it a go. Just need to find some people to play with here in WA (and not do shift work)
Frostgrave has been a real surprise to me. I can’t recall a new game gaining traction through word of mouth as quickly as this seems to have done.
Frostgrave looks awesome, and is something I definitely want to check out.
I keep meaning to try out Frostgrave, I guess I’ll just have to give in and get a copy.
Frostgrave, well deserved success and lot of nice supplements also. This horizon wars looks promising, but it’s for 10-15mm?
It’s designed for 2-10mm. However, people are insisting on playing it up to 15mm, and some even with 28mm minis. I always felt it was too abstract at that scale but, if you don’t mind it being abstract, then the abstractness means it actually works perfectly well at any scale.
Looking forward to the new game
I have been looking at Frostgrave for some time now. Looks interesting. Horizon Wars looks interesting. Hope the art is good.
The art is amazing. This guys did the illustrations:

frostgrave has done epicly for only being 9 months old, i want to convert some D&D players to play tabletop aswell and i think frostgrave is the way to go.
the new game sounds interesting and looks pretty cool in the pics.
very cool stuff coming for frostgrave
Horizon Wars has piqued my interest, and I’m not sure why as I don’t play 6-10mm. I do however have a bunch of 10mm Pendraken Colonial Marines that are yet to see use, so might be the system to try them with.
Front Grave is a fun game to play.
Frostgrave is great but Horizon wars looks epic.
Was that a pun?
Osprey seems to be a reasonably prolific company. More power to them. Frostrgrave gets regular play round my way at present.
The 1 Place is really deserved… awesome game even if I miss leveling up my barbarian(he’s so good :D)
Argh I had totally forgotten about Horizon wars.. it looks so cool. And still havent tried frostgrave;/
There´s much goodness coming from Osprey atm. I like it!
Really cool stuff there and Horizon Wars reminds me a bit of Epic 40.000. Would be nice to dive into a new Rule System with such kind of miniatures scale :).
played my first game of frostgrave last week and was impressed so will watch horizon wars with interest
Hooray, more stuff for Frostgrave in the pipeline. 🙂
Do you know sometimes my close friends and I think we should write some rules then again we think why bother everything is covered and low again we see Horizon wars coming out great, no I do mean great more rules that look zip super.
Stay frosty people!
Looking good, I am following Osprey Games much more closely these days.
AWESOME
Getting Frostgrave up and running has been great fun – and still more to do!
I need to get my hands on some gnolls
frost grave is looking very interesting
I’m glad that Knolls aren’t really that big, yikes! Very nice 3ups though.
Do they have miniatures for Horizon Wars ?
Nope. Any SF range should fit the game to some extent.
Love the setting!….Looking to more of this game in the near future!
Grate stuff, just getting into it. Very nice. Well done.
Frostgrave is Tabletop Gamings true sleeper hit. It’s made such a big impact for a game from an otherwise unknown background. I know it’s being picked up more and more by players now it’s getting some exposure, won’t be long until I have to get a band together and give it a go.
Really like frost grave , I have a signed copy lol .
Yes! Osprey are taking over!
This is a cool game.
I like the look of that!
Love Frostgrave, fast as i like, perfect to build up a team of heros with my miniatures…
well done.
Got Frostgrave in the post, almost ordered Horizon wars alongside tbh 😀
“Almost”? I am disappoint.
Frostgrave is a great game kicking off big time at our club
Well I know Frostgrave is quite popular in my gaming club and I was just looking into maybe getting Horizon Wars and Konflikt ’47. Maybe I’ll hold back for a few days just in case I have the wonderful occasion to win one of these fantastic games…..then I’ll buy the other….lol
Frostgrave looks like a ton of fun, barbarians v’s gnolls v’s wizards + treasure. Who’s not up for that!
I love frostgrave. Thank you for all the coverage this weekend!
Have to say – The Gnolls of Frostgrave have really hooked me!! will most assuredly be getting a couple of boxes!!
I Frostgrave is becoming our groups goto fantasy skirmish game. Its fun and fast with the ability to run ongoing campaigns.
I need to start playing Frostgrave
Saw the plastic kits today and they look great.
I love frostgrave but I’m really interested in Horizon wars. From what I have read on the writers blog it sounds like its going to be alot of fun.
Joe the mastermind behind Frostgrave. What does it feel like to have a game go absolutely ballistic like that? Congrats, man. Massive congrats!
The gnolls look great
I love frostgrave, looking forward to the Knolls.
I’d like to know more about horizon wars. What scale is it? Are there miniatures specifically for this game?
It’s 2-10mm in the mind of its designer (me), but there are people already running it in 15mm and even 28mm. I think it’s too abstract at that scale, but YMMV. As you may have guessed, there are no “official” miniatures. The game is designed to fit any range of SF product in the scale of your choice.
A most excellent game system
Have’nt seen much on Horizon Wars, but I will be looking into it.
Horizon Wars is interesting, curious to see how it adapts to different scales of models.
really want to give horizon wars a try in 15mm.. should work, right?
Others tell me it does. It’s not what I designed it for, though, so if it’s not to your taste at that scale, don’t blame me.
Frost grave sounds really good and the fact that they don’t care which miniatures you use means that everybody can have a crack
I have been enjoying Frostgrave but I need to play it more often
After years of scoffing at plastic elves, Frostgrave is the game that finally got me into miniatures. 🙂
Horizon Wars looks neat – I’m interested to try out the cancelling D12 combat!
Played my first game of Frostgrave last weekend: loved it! Wish i picked it up when it came out!
Wow, those gnolls look nasty, can’t wait to pick up a box!
I have been meaning to try out Frostgrave. I think the Gnolls are going to get me to commit to giving it a go.
Looks intriguing
Have too check this one up!
So hard to believe this game only launched 9 months ago. It’s become massive.
Loving frostgrave & Horizon Wars looks fantastic!
Awesome stuff
Frostgrave has been an outstanding success. I’m sure Horizon Wars will be also
Looking Great!
i have bought everything so far!
Nice to see Robey’s wargame finally getting the treatment it really is worth it.
You should look for his podcasts (sadly he stopped doing them) about game design at Precinctomega podcast to get some insight on his design decisions.
I’m trying really hard to make time to do more. Increasingly, I find that when I organize my thoughts, now, it ends up just me justifying why I’ve done things in certain ways! My blog is still active, though, at http://precinctomega.co.uk/wp
Frostgrave selling out at the con so quickly, it’s not surprising but astounding at the same time.
Now Gnolls! I love gnolls. I’ve got a heap of Reaper gnolls, they’re fun. Got to get my hands on those
nice
Loot! Who doesn’t want loot?
Very interested in Horizon Wars… seems like a unique idea.
That looks good.
Very excited for Horizon Wars.
I’m really interested to see how they work aircraft into the Horizon Wars. Osprey in general has been really putting out some great stuff lately.
Frostgrave is a brilliant system and something I am glad I have invested my time in!
Frostgrave is one that I will definitely be trying out when I have dedicated gaming space.
I did think that Horizon Wars was just going to be another skirmish game, but I just checked it out on the Osprey site, and it’s a 6mm Company level game. That’s awesome, but might put it in direct competition with the Halo game, I might just get both.
Having looked at the Halo game at Salute, I can happily say they are not in competition. Very different feels and mechanics. But I can see people buying the Halo stuff and then running the minis in games of Horizon Wars, so to that extent they should be complementary.
Frostgrave is great, I just wish I could get more people by me to play it.
mmmm…more Frostgrave, please.
Looking forward to Horizon Wars! Will have to wait till it’s in stock on one of the online retailers I regularly shop.
looking forward to new Frostgrave supplements and minis
Frostgrave = Super Fantastic!
Frostgrave is a cracker of a game, but Horizon wars looks brilliant for my MWDA stuff- can’t wait!!!
I play frostgrave every week. Have 3 warbands already. Love the game!
I think frostgrave and horizon have great potential it will be great to see we’re this games go.
I’ll bite; haven’t gotten into the smaller format game systems so this would be a first.
Only played one game of Frostgrave so far and it was a great run.
Frostgrave is a super game guys Well done
Horizon Wars sounds interesting, but keep bringing the Frostgrave expansions out 🙂
I love frostgrave and it is awesome that it won game of the year. Hopefully it could win expansion of the year this year, as into the breading pits sounds fantastic
Horizon Wars would work wonderfully with my Battletech minis! Awww yiissss…
Horizon sounds interesting
Wife wants us to “dip a toe” into Frostgrave, luckily it’s a small model count, cos it will be me assembling and painting!
Never heard of horizon wars… but sounds interesting
As soon as I have painted a bit more of my existing stuff I will be looking into this game
Still need to give this game a go. It is being played in japan so should be able to find some games.
more I here about frostgrave more it sound like a game I should get in to
late to the party but i just bought my copy of Frostgrave .
Frostgrave is stuff a wonderful game
Hmmm, a mecha game. Coold be really cool.
Frostgrave is a lot of fun, and it is great to see all of the new stuff coming out for it. I am really looking forward to Horizon Wars, as well.
Frostgrave is awesome and deserved to win miniatures game of the year. The new Horizon wars sounds very interesting. I should have picked it up.
Frostgrave looks like an awesome fantasy game but I’ve been a sci-fi guy so looking forward to Horizon Wars.
Horizon Wars does look a little different.
I think Frostgrave is one of the more refreshing games out there, a fun combination between wargames and role playing games.
Dam finally plastic knolls this game may make a convert instead of D&D all of the time.
Frost grave is fantastic. I will be purchasing every supplement. New game, I’m a gamer I would love to try it. Bring it on.
Looks interesting. Worth taking a look at.
Spent the first hour and half playing Frostgrave at Salute. Seems like a great system with lots of interest and scope.
I love 6mm sci-fi so Horizon Wars has been on my radar for a while. Didn’t realise it was due for release so soon though. Gonna have to get me a copy!
Definitely a game I want to get into.
Looking forward to Horizon Wars
Horizon Wars – wow. and Frostgrave is awesome!
Really looking forward to trying out Horizon Wars!
I really hope we’ll see a sci-fi version of frostgrave down the road. I just can get into fantasy for more then a week or two… 🙁
Got to love frostgrave
Lets hope its as good as frostgrave.
Got to comment for a chance to win this for a friend. He’s desperate for this game.
Frostgrave is my winner in any category for last year.
Frostgrave has done really well, and I’m keen to try Horizon Wars too! I’ve just got a load of 6mm sci fi figures which’d be ideal for this.
Frostgrave release schedule is great. It keeps the game fresh without breakingthe game or my wallet. Barbarians from the North sounds good
Frostgrave was up for so many awards again and for good reason great stuff really
Loving Frostgrave and Knolls look great
Frostgrave is on the top of my list of new games to try out.
I am a sucker for SCI FI war games and a chance to get a free rule book on a new one is nice.
Cool looking game.
Another great game, can’t wait
frostgrave is great – and I am interested to see how Horizons plays…
Horizon Wars sounds interesting. The gnoll kit for Frostgrave should be great. Wonder if we can have gnoll soldiers.
im a huge battletech 6mm fan, but rules so outdated. i think best a to go is new horizon wars.
oh no, forgot to check out horizon wars at Salute :/
I’m now planning my event schedule for the next 12-18 months. What’s your local event? Perhaps I’ll be there running games and you can come and try it out.
Horizon looks Fab !!!
looks great
Frostgrave is an excellent gamer. Even if you lose a single game there are still things to be gained for your warband and wizard. The constant stream of expansions at a reasonable rate keeps it exciting also.
Interested in Frostgrave and new plastics and supplements, although not so sure about Horizon Wars, will see how it goes.
Frost grave has to be the best game on the market right now. Really keen to see how this new sci fi game combines the different elements.
Note to self – must try Frostgrave, it looks like an interesting alternative to Mordheim.
I’ve been meaning to get into Frostgrave, but Horizon Wars, that one get’s me totally excited!!!
Heard lots of good things about Horizon Wars
Very much looking forward to the Breeding Pits expansion. The gnolls look cool, and it’ll be interesting to see if they introduce any twists for the underground environment. Also, if there are gnolls down there, then there are probably all sorts of other fun critters (even if that just means using stats for gnolls or other creatures for some of my monster minis).
Horizon Wars sounds like a BBC spin off.
Oh, new frostgrave supplements on the way! Must have. I will have to check out horizon wars soon.
My group has gone crazy for Frostgrave recently, so much fun.
I must look into Frostgrave more closely. Just got into dungeon saga so fantasy gaming is back on my gaming menu for the first time since warhammer and hero quest in my teens. I like the terrain inspired around the spells. Walls of stone, ice, water and fire to block line of sight. Muddy quick sand swamps appear to hamper movement. Hope they go from strength to strength.
Horizon Wars seems to present a real interesting challenge coping with combined ops. Cannot wait to give it a go.
loooks intresting
Can’t wait for the knolls plastic kit in July!
I’ve played many enjoyable Frostgrave battles since the release. Looking forward to Horizon wars !
hw looks worth a look
More frostgrave cool stuff always.
Is there something about Frostgrave on Beasts of War?
oooh i do like a bit of Frostgrave! looking forward to horizon wars – could be very interesting!
Wanted a good look at Frostgrave but the demo game took an age to get started once all the obscurities of the scenario had been explained. I liked the demo format of Dark Souls and Tanks! especially, multiple tables, quick play, a real quick taster intro.
what is scale for Horisont?
I wrote it for anything between 2mm and 10mm, but people are playing it at 15mm and even 28mm. It’s a bit abstract for my taste at the larger scales, but it works perfectly well precisely because it’s a very abstract system.
haven’t played frostgrave, but i do love the plastic kits coming out, especially the cultists. they will be going in my KoW army.
Got the rulebook and picked up a bunch of models for my warband at Salute 😀
Yay, Frostgrave!
Frostgrave is lovely!
Frostgrave sounds fun!
To many Games on the queue, frost grave seems cool to damm
Frostgrave well deserved bow game of the year
It’s just wow!
So cool!
Have read the rulebook and it looks like a really simple nice game. Have to introduce my girlfriend to this
Smaller scale gaming has peaked my interest
I think I will really have to get myself to Salute next year!
Looks great!
So many games so little time.
Got into frostgrave this year and have the other half hooked too so win win on that front,can do no wrong if it is for frostgrave.Thanks Osprey!
I’m eager to learn more about Horizon Wars. What scale is it meant to be played in?
It sounds a bit like it could be DZC with another scope.
You can play it in any scale you want
I *wrote* it for 2-10mm scales. The rules are deliberately abstracted, though, so they work perfectly well at any scale. It really just depends on where your mental cut-off lies for rules abstractions.
Hi @precinctomega
I have been looking at playtests and anything else I can find out about the rules. Everything I have seen so far shows Titan type vehicles and a few tanks.what are the rules like for combined arms.
It does look interesting but not really interested in large fighting machines fighting it out against each other
Well obviously, i think the combined arms rules are great! Seriously, though, i even reference the fact that stompy robot tanks are a bit silly in the rulebook. So the game is supposed to be perfectly workable if you just want proper, sensible, hard SF armies.
I’m curious about this!
looks good
Can’t wait to play HW! I have all these minis stuck inside a box. Now I’ll have a game I can use them all together with. Oh, the possibilities!!
Good interview. Thanks!
congrats on the win. well deserved.
I’m perhaps the only hobbyist who hasn’t tried this yet. I love the plastic kits, looking forward to the gnolls and dungeon rules.
I just bought a handful of Frostgrave books…. I have a bunch of old Mordheim parts I will be using to make generic soldiers…. Really excited to try and get my gaming group back into skirmish games.
What’s this? Someone is trying to crate a balanced, tactically-deep sci-fi game? And not trying to price-gouge us with absurdly-expensive models?
Iknorite??
I’m curious about Frostgrave!
must take a closer look at frostgrave
Frostgrave is cool!
I’m not generally very interested in generic rules sets (even though I am interested in rules that can be used in other games), so I think knowing what the Horizon Wars setting is will be key to me deciding whether to look at the game.
I did an extensive interview with Neil Shuck and friends at the Meeples & Miniatures podcast in which I covered the setting: http://www.meeplesandminiatures.co.uk/
I also did an interview with Joe for the Osprey Games YouTube channel in which I talk about the setting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcY-xDw2vYY
Short version, the book contains a setting stretched across several hundred years, starting with a classic “world war” near future setting, followed by a “war as reality TV” setting, moving on to a post-apocalyptic conquest setting and finishing with an over-the-horizon anything-goes space opera setting.
Played our first game, really liked it.
Sounds cool! I’m interested in the new ideas!
This looks like an excellent game!
This totally rox!
This seems to be a nice game!
