Osprey Reveal What Wargames Are On The Horizon For 2016
September 16, 2015 by brennon
Osprey have revealed some of the wargames that are going to be coming out from them in 2016. Some of them you'll have already heard about including En Garde, Duel In The Sun and Frostgrave: Into The Breeding Pits, but these next three are all new...
Naval Warfare
Stepping back into the age of triremes and other classical galleys we have Poseidon's Warriors which gives you rules for battles on the bright blue seas of the Mediterranean.
Hopefully this will spark some interesting battlefields where we get a coastal landscape to fight over. I'm also looking forward to seeing some big 28mm scale boats and dioramas reflecting scenes like this one above.
Beware The Labyrinth
Swapping Historical for Fantastical we have Broken Legions where you'll be playing out fights against Gods and Monsters in the Roman Empire. While this cover takes something from Theseus and the Minotaur it does give us an idea of the monsters we'll be facing.
Suddenly all of those Hail Caesar armies can break down into smaller units and go hunting beasts in the Celtic forests of Britain or ancient ruins of Egypt.
Sci-Fi Underworlds
It wouldn't be a complete package without something for Sci-Fi and Osprey are also working on Rogue Stars which looks like it took a bit of inspiration from Guardians Of The Galaxy.
Here's hoping that we're going to be a gang building narrative game where you can mix and match a variety of different species into your own underworld crime syndicate. The artwork is looking fantastic and I want that big robot as a miniature right now thank you.
Which game would you add to your collection?

“Into the Breeding Pits” sounds like an anime I have to hide from my GF…
The announcement lists 5 Frostgrave books for next year! Two real books and 3 mini ebooks. I’m glad they are supporting the game so strongly!
Rouge Stars, please and thank you 😀
I would spend a lot more money on Osprey titles if the bundled print with PDF or eBook versions of them.
Brilliant idea. I swapped to pdf almost two years ago – and love it.
look @warzan a ship ramming?
…guess we are missing something!
the ship didn’t.
Between at-43 and wz resurrection there should be plenty models to use with rogue stars 🙂 looks real nice!
Broken Legion is a game I’ve been waiting for. Hopefully osprey can keep up to the quality of recent publications
‘Broken Legions’ sounds interesting – might go on the xmas list. Waiting for the spec-ops game at present. Hurry…
Broken Legions is interesting though I would probably wait for the fantasy version if Lion Rampant. Posidens warriors will be just a standard ancients naval wargame I presume
I think dragon rampant is out this December
