Fantasy Warlord
« on: 28 September 2025, 03:06:55 PM »
Hello everyone!

If you still play or would like to play Fantasy Warlord tabletop wargame, I have developed several online resources to help you.

I have created a web application that allows you to manage 100% of the game, including creating units, characters and armies: https://fantasywarlord.app/

I have also posted the game rules and profiles online in a Wiki for download: https://rules.fantasywarlord.com/

I hope this will breathe new life into this game, which truly deserves it!

Please feel free to send me your questions or comments so that I can improve the application!

Brilliant work! If only this had existed 30 odd years ago  lol

I’ve only played it a few times in all those years - it deserves to be reborn if only so people that’ve never heard of it can give it a read through.

I’d love to see some AARs if you have any,

I bought the rules when they first came out and managed a few games.

I honestly don’t know if I still have them or not but I do remember the game photos inside were very inspirational to a younger me  8)

Thanks for the links, very useful.

I've still got my copy from 1990. Haven't played it since 1990.
I might still have the two issues of Red Giant somewhere, they could have gone in my White Dwarf clear-out a few years ago, not sure.

Funny to see it resurrected like this.

It’s a really pretty book, probably one the best looking from that era due mostly to the Gary Chalk illustrations and the photos. I still flick through it every so often. I’d have loved a Lone Wolf themed version.

I have a second-hand copy (very good condition) that I bought once upon a time. Quite stylish looking for 1990, and having a single illustrator throughout the book gives certain consistency, though I am not particularly Gary Chalk enthusiast.

I found the rules technically well-written and easy to read, though not particularly practical.
