My thoughts too...though I do tend to prefer to get into games rather than rulesets. ...
Normally I just go in for whole game systems as you say but I love my ancestral Celtic myths and am very disappointed that there isn't a game to scratch that itch.
Agree with that. I like the general Antares rules engine, so having that in a large fantasy warband option is very useable. It’ll be in the WFB old world for me though!
Right, got you now. Yeah, I heard of this breed of gamer. It's not for me, since I got all the things already, and most "original" sci-fi/fantasy settings I read annoy the heck out of me by trying to be different ("Get off my lawn, new things!"), so these days I prefer rules sets to keep a minimum distance of 200 base widths from any figures range and keep it generic.
Have you tried Lucid Eye's 'Red Book of the Elf King'? It's meant to be based around the Celtic (specifically Irish) legends, but although I've painted a couple of the figures I haven't played the game.
Update - New Info.Base style is irrelevant. Squares or rounds both work.
Good plan sir. I haven't owned a WH Fantasy army for years as I was waiting for GW to update the basic High Elf troopers...guess I'm still waiting I know what you mean...their does seem to be some who flock to anything different but to be honest I've seen very few rulesets that can beat the basic logical steps from classic GW. I can definitley see the appeal of a generic set of rules but without a framework of races etc it all feels a bit whishy-washy...I blame my Aspie nature in this regard as I crave order and pre-definied factions supported by fluff that generates a feel for the force in my head and in the head of my opponents. I guess generic lacks this framework and so leaves me somewhat muddled. No idea if that makes sense.It did catch my eye but on further inspection does nothing for me. Seems a little loosely based on Gaelic myth with a visual dash of Asterix. Plus the idea that all armies are exactly the same number of minis seems very odd to me.I think my growing disillusionment with rules systems has been made worse since I've started playing around with writing my own...doh! I guess you can't put the genie back in the bottle
Have you seen oakbound studios the woods game? Not really looked at it myself but they have some not fimir to go with it.
