The models for the game are also incredible (as to be expected from CMON) and being updated and modernized. Did I also mention that every rule in the game is free to download? The best part of these two releases is that despite the Path to Glory set being released under the old Master Rules, the entire box set, including its Quick Start Rules, are 100% compatible with the new 2017 Master Rules. Two months prior to the release of the 2017 Master Rules, CMON released the first ever 2-Player Starter Set, Path to Glory. Think of it more as a video game patch, moving from version 1.0 to version 1.1, and you are on the right track. Unlike other game systems which release a new edition of master rules and completely invalidate entire armies, forcing their player base to start from scratch, the 2017 Master Rules are basically an upgrade. WHY YOU SHOULD BE PLAYING ITĭark Age just released their 2017 Master Rules and they are, in a word, great. The factions themselves are incredibly interesting and diverse, ranging from humans of multiple flavours (some good, others not so much), slumbering space aliens who are waking up, AI constructs, lab experiments gone bad, and even invading space Mayans.
Additionally, the story for the game continues to evolve and grow with each release containing both rules and fiction set in this cool backdrop. Interestingly, many of these “dramatis personae” are included in the game, have models and are completely playable. Dark Age is no different and contains an incredibly rich, diverse setting filled with heroes, villains, and those who are somewhere in between. Miniatures games often include a deep narrative lore and a universe that ties everything together. Each sub-faction is able to take “generic” models from their chosen faction but also have a number of exclusive models that belong only to those sub-factions. The game itself has 7 main factions but many of these factions are further broken down into sub-factions. With that being said, there is a lot of freedom in list construction within the different factions and allows you the freedom to take a larger or smaller force than this. This means that the average tournament-sized faction will typically sit around the 10 models, and with competitive events taking about 75 minutes per game.
WHAT IS DARK AGE?ĭark Age is a skirmish sized miniatures game. The game is Dark Age and there is no better time to take the plunge. One of these miniatures games, the oldest one in CMON’s line, has been flying under the radar, all the while doing really incredible things. It’s no real surprise then to find out that CMON also have a healthy stable of current and future miniatures games. Cool Mini Or Not have a reputation for their incredible board games packed full of miniatures.
