Title: Rules for Skeleton Archers
Post by: nicknorthstar on 17 February 2016, 08:39:34 PM: Frostgrave author Joe has contributed an article to the new issue of Wargames Illustrated (341) out now. The article is about arming your skeletons with bows. Essential for anyone playing the game!

North Star's Kev Dallimore took the photos for the article, making skeleton archers from the Frostgrave Soldier and Cultist box sets.

Same question :D
I'm not a fan of printed/copied rules. I like them in a nice book.

I think WI is available digital. I dont think 341 is up yet. They might have a week or so turn around for the digital release.

Will ask my FLGS is they can order one, though.

Last time I did this, the turnaround was considerably longer, like a couple months.

Really, that's really slow.

I think both WSS and MWBG have their digital versions available with (if not before) the print ones.

What's the difference between a PDF and a digital copy? All PDF's are digital copies, but not all digital copies are PDFs, they may be ebooks or kindle files or whatever I guess.

So what do you mean by digital?
