Horror Fantasy Skirmish (searching for a rulesset)

[Darksider]

I am looking for a rulesset which I can use for my semi rpg/skirmish game.

A little bit about the setting. The campaign? or at least the games are set in Duskwood (from World of Warcraft). I will only use the place and nothing else from WoW.
There will be a lot of different fantasy races like elves, dwarves, halflings, half-elves and half-orcs etc.
The area is surounded by thick fog, you can enter from outside but you can't leave (like barovia from castle ravenloft).
Maybe I will add some different areas to make a bigger world, but for now I only have this map, which I found on google (shown in the attachment).

I am uncertain what I should use as rulesset for this game. I have considered Fear and Faith, Song of Blades and Heroes, Otherworld Miniature Skirmish Game, maybe Frostgrave or a real Rpg like Pathfinder, D&D.

In my opinion I won't need a complete Rpg, sure there will be a bit of chit chat but most of the time it is about killing monsters. So a skirmish game should be better or not?

With SoBaH and Fear and Faith I can create alot of different Characters and Monsters and Fear and Faith has rules for Madness, Insanity and Fear.

Any suggestions?

How about these. They work great for skirmish games.

I would go with what you are thinking of using, Fear and Faith plus the Song of series.
Excellent system of rules, easy for players to use and good for a light RPG.

There is a "sticky" thread at the top of this section where Fantasy skirmish rules are discussed in some detail.

There are many to choose from

We have been playing some really fun "skirmish with an rpg feel" games using Sellswords and Spellslingers. Our group of heroes have now almost finished their second mini-campaign and I'm working on the next.

There are plenty of different monsters with the game and I've found it really easy to create new foes as we have needed them.

Sellswords is very adaptable.  The event cards could be altered for more of a horror feel.  Add in some rules to cover terror (I use a simple method of this for some fearsome creatures).

The adventure "Count Carailis Curse" adds in extended rules for vampires, werewolves, demonic mutants etc (it only costs a couple of quid for a download).

Thank you all for the help;). I will stick with fear and faith and song of blades and heroes most of the time. But if I can I will try sellswords.
