Rules for Skeleton Archers
« 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.



We've got the magazine in now. http://northstarfigures.com/prod.php?prod=8132

Are these rules going to become available in some official supplement eventually or are the going to remain an exclusive to the magazine?

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

Looking good. Hope it will come in a later supplement, since I don't know where to get a loose W.I. in the Netherlands. But the hunt is on  :D.

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.

Thanks for the tip, but I'm an old man who wants his articles on paper  ;).
Will ask my FLGS is they can order one, though.

It's a magazine exclusive and there are quite a few in stock.

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.

Those are PDF's, not digital and at no time is it a 'couple of months, before the digital issue is up, longest is about ten days but mostly the end of the month during which the current print issue is out.

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?
