Tackle Rick Priestley & Lucid Eye’s Skirmish Game, Elf King Red
September 1, 2020 by brennon
Making it easier to dive into the world of The Red Book Of The Elf King, Lucid Eye and Rick Priestley have teamed up once again to create a smaller variant of the wargame called Elf King Red. These rules are free to download and only require a handful of miniatures to play.
The Sarlant March // Lucid Eye
This new set of rules is a quick and easy way to dive into the game with your Thane and their smaller band of companions. This means games normally play with just seven miniatures aside. For example, you could play as Saylian The Mad of The Sarlant March or...
The Throne Of Towers // Lucid Eye
...High Captain Vachel of The Throne Of Towers. This collection actually offers up new versions of both Vachel and Saylian so if you're a big fan of these awesome Elves then you might want to pick up these packs simply to get the new characters.
The game rules, which can be Downloaded Here, offer up a quick way to dive in with a handful of miniatures from the six core Circles within The Red Book Of The Elf King. Whilst being designed as a two-player experience there is no reason why you can't turn this into a multiplayer experience thanks to the low model count and simple rules. The entire document comes in at twenty-one pages so it's pretty easy to digest and dive into.
I really enjoyed exploring The Red Book Of The Elf King back in a preview HERE and whilst I never got to properly play the game (lack of opponents!) I do absolutely love the system and the aesthetic of the game as a whole. It's proper evil Fae stuff and the miniatures are a joy to paint. I would highly recommend giving these rules a download and seeing what they have to offer.
Are you tempted by this collection?

They look fabulous with a sort of Viking look to them.
They have certainly been inspired by that kind of mythology
Fantasy viking look maybe but not historical viking look. Or do some people still think that myth about vikings having horned helmets is some how true.
Considering they are Elves..I would assume Fantasy Vikings was the case
They look like something straight from Conan
Those are really nice.
Has a Broken Sword (Poul Anderson’s) feeling to it.
I love these models, @brennon you should really feature these as an “Indie of the Week” they have some fantastic unusual ranges, I have some of Red Book of Elf King and am expanding now that they have the new lite rules, the whole of the Plot Device range and a mix of figures from other ranges all are beautifully hand sculpted and the ranges have figures for a wide range of subject matter
