Updated 2.2.26: CanCon, Midgard Moot, Chronicles of Midgard & Hastings 960
There was a serious showing of great Midgard Heroic Battles games at January’s CanCon event in Australia – read all about it here.
The Midgard Moot II event now has only two spaces remaining! Find the booking details on the Midgard Moot II page.
Chronicles of Midgard – the campaign and scenarios supplement – is 99.9% complete, with art and layout done and now in final editing. Hopefully this will be out very soon – watch this space!
Finally, I’m delighted to say that Midgard Heroic Battles has been chosen as the rules for the Hastings 960 project. This incredible plan has been put together by Mirko Bruner and Peter’s Paperboys with the goal of refighting the Battle of Hastings with a 1:1 figure ratio. Mirko is targeting having over 16,000 15mm paper miniatures on the table for the refight in October 2026. Read all about it here!
Midgard Heroic Battles won the Best New Wargames Rules Award 2024 as voted for by the readers of Wargames Illustrated Magazine, as well as Best Miniatures Rules 2024 at the On Table Top Industry Awards. Many thanks to Richard Clarke for editing and publishing, Jon Hodgson and Paul Bourne of Handiwork Games for stunning art and layout, Pete Jenkins for his photography and all the play testers for their contributions.
Midgard Heroic Battles is an all-in-one volume containing the rules (including flying creatures and sorcery), five scenarios, 12 sample Force lists and an appendix to allow you to create your own Heroes and Units.
Layout and art are by the hugely talented Jon Hodgson (Beowulf Age of Heroes, The One Ring, Warhammer Ancient Battles, Dragon Warriors, Jon Hodgson Backdrops and many more) and Paul Bourne of Handiwork Games. We are absolutely delighted to have had Jon’s input on this project which has raised the presentation of Midgard Heroic Battles to another level. Stunning miniature photography by Pete Jenkins also accompanies Jon’s artwork.
Midgard Heroic Battles is published by Reisswitz Press. A dedicated Facebook group to support the game, administered by members of the playtest team, can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1572316176883241/
All the best
