I played Warhammer Fantasy in the 2000s and it was a highlight of my adolescence. I’m finally in a stable enough position to rekindle my love of collecting and painting miniatures, and hopefully joining in on a wargame. Are there any good fantasy options these days?

I see that Warhammer Fantasy is completely gone, and Warhammer: The Old World is just kicking off but has very limited races. 40k and Age of Sigmar aren’t appealing to me - I prefer high Fantasy.

Any tips for where I should look? I’m in a major city so I’m sure I can find a game of anything remotely popular. Should I just wait for The Old World to release more races and pick up in popularity? I’d love to play elves or anything similar. Thanks ahead of time.

      I haven’t played their fantasy games but I have played both their grimdark skirmish, and grimdark future rules and quite liked them.

      The flexibility in assembling a force makes playing gimmick lists fun, and I really like any rule system with alternating activation rather than phased/I-go-you-go rules.
