This one is, to me, a no brainer for the best miniature wargame that is currently on the market. It has everything: it has excellent models sold at a decent price (a “starter set” is essentially an entire playable army and will only set you back a little over $100 USD. It has the weight of history that outclasses the lore of every other game. Warha...
Warhammer 40k really deserves a place in the best miniature wargames for two reasons, and one of them is NOT its gameplay. Warhammer 40k gameplay, especially in 9th Edition, is cumbersome at best. But whatWarhammer 40k has going for it it has going for it in spades: lore and models. Warhammer 40k is chock full of lore, and there are endless places ...
Star Wars Legion is one of the best miniatures wargames because they are able to combine a very good ruleset with a wealth of lore. The rules are excellent. Not stellar, but excellent. But that’s not the reason that people get into Star Wars Legion and it’s not the reason that Star Wars Legion continues to sell a ton of models. It’s because you’ve ...
Marvel Crisis Protocol is right there alongside Star Wars Legion as one of the best miniature wargames in that it has a really good ruleset and a really great batch of lore that it can lean into. There are so many good mechanics to the game, including strong characters (like the Incredible Hulk) picking up scenery pieces and throwing them across th...
Let’s flip to something on the opposite side of the spectrum. I will say right up front that I HATE the models of Battletech. I don’t like the aesthetic, I don’t think there’s enough variation, I don’t think they’re, quite simply, sculpted well. But I love the Battletech rules enough to rank it as one of the best miniature wargames. It takes a lot ...
I used to love X-Wing back in its heyday, but Aeronauticatakes everything that X-Wing did, does it better, simplifies it, and puts it in the Warhammer 40k universe. (Admittedly, the Star Wars universe is an excellent sandbox to play in, but they ran into the same problem that I mentioned Star Wars Legion running into: they ran out of ships and had ...
Controversial choice, because there are a lot of people who are still upset to Games Workshop shifting to Kill Team 2.0. And there’s a lot of complaints–legitimate ones–about the fact that they sell you the game in large bundles with rules and terrain and two forces, instead of just a single force. But the game is fun. And more importantly, it’s na...
I’ll be honest: I never cared for Warhammer Fantasy Battles. It wasn’t my thing. I don’t tend to like rank-and-flank games and the fact that the slightest piece of terrain on the board could ruin an entire game was very frustrating. I also didn’t like–and this may be heresy–how generic it was. There were elves and dwarves and men and vampires and a...
A Song of Ice and Fireis one my list almost solely for the gameplay, which I found to be a ton of fun. And it’s rank-and-flank, and I don’t like rank-and-flank! There is enough lore to make it fun, even if you haven’t watched the show and memorized the books, and one of my favorite mechanics is that you can have non-combatants taking turns during t...
Necromundashould have been higher on this list of the best miniature wargames, because in models and lore it ticks all of the boxes for me, but it has the current Warhammer 40k problem where I don’t even know what books I’d need to buy if I wanted to get started in this thing. Games Workshop, for as much as they release amazing new sculpts for Necr...
"Hail Of Fire" is a company-level, WWII miniatures war game designed specifically to be simple and fast-playing, while also forcing players to navigate the "fog of war". Features include secret action points, hidden deployments, and a delayed combat resolution system, all of which are easy to execute and track using a few dice and tokens rather ...
The Game of Modern Naval Warfare Naval Command is a set of wargame rules for recreating naval battles with fleets of miniature warships and aircraft in the age of the guided missile and jet aeroplane.
