Hobday & Hicks’ The Barons’ War: Fantasy Skirmish Coming Soon
May 10, 2024 by brennon
Hobday & Hicks have revealed a bit more about what's coming up for their new 28mm Fantasy wargame. Their new range of miniatures sculpted by Hicks are going to be part of The Barons' War: Fantasy Skirmish which should be on Kickstarter soon.
The Barons' War: Fantasy Skirmish // Hobday & Hicks
Fantasy Skirmish will use the rules from the hit Historical game, The Barons' War but with a Fantasy twist of course. The initial range of miniatures that you'll be able to choose from are Orcs and Elves and when you dive into the campaign, you'll be able to pick up either faction or both if you so desire.
Whilst the duo have previewed Dwarves, Humans and the Undead, they will be coming as part of future projects as they can't do everything at once! The Dwarves might have shot up the list so will most likely get paired with either Humans or Undead. I'm hoping for Humans! It would be good to have the makings of a classic Tolkienesque clash on the tabletop, perhaps with a Silmarillion twist.
Even with the Tolkienesque feel to the miniatures, Hobday & Hicks haven't slouched when it comes to designing their own background for these Fantasy miniatures. It is well worth joining their Facebook Group where they preview these miniatures to get an idea of the lore they have been working on.

Some more recent previews popped up for the Mountain Orc Archers that you can see above and we also got another look at the Mountain Orc and their Wolf mount. All of this is matched to the awesome artwork by Peter Dennis. You can see some of it in the background.

The Kickstarter for The Barons' War: Fantasy Skirmish is just around the corner and I can see this being one that a lot of people dive into. Make sure to also check out more of the early previews for The Barons' War: Fantasy Skirmish here OnTableTop.
Would you prefer to go with Elves or Orcs when this Kickstarter lands?

This will be going on the bucket list.
When I first looked at the rules for Baron’s War, I had a thought that it would work really well as a fantasy game.
Glad to see Footsore thought so too.
Already backed their Vikings range to swell my Symbaroum factions, I will absolutely be backing for this for much the same reason
