Just a short post today, but a momentous one: I’m delighted to be able to show you a low-res version of the cover art for Midgard Heroic Battles. We wanted something that encapsulated the ‘Historical, Legendary and Fantasy Battles’ referred to in the tagline, and Jon Hodgson of Handiwork Games has delivered that and more!

On the cover, we see Raedwald, King of the East Angles in the first quarter of the 7th century, (representing the ‘Historical’ element) and Celtic Goddess Morrigan (pushing ‘Legend’ and ‘Fantasy’) – these two act as guides within the rulebook, offering advice to the would-be warrior and hero throughout its pages.
Behind them, the ‘Battle’ element is fully in progress in a mountain valley, with warriors facing off, a challenge to single combat being issued, and some fearsome beasts pushing their way out of the tales of myth and legend onto the battlefield.
Of course, in addition to Jon’s outstanding art, the whole thing is topped off by the awesome logo by Paul Bourne of Handiwork Games. Gentlemen, a heartfelt thank you to you both.
Midgard Heroic Battles is due to be published by Reisswitz Press in November 2024, with pre-orders going live soon.

I like the color! Not all wargames have to be dark and dingy.
