5 Great Tabletop War Games | Alternatives to Warhammer 40k & Sigmar | Miniature Recommendations
Don’t get me wrong, I still love playing Warhammer 40k, and I will always enjoy painting up a fancy Age of Sigmar model, especially if it’s one of the Underworlds miniatures, but there are a lot of other games out there to simulate battles with so let’s look at some.
Dust 1947 – an alternate history war game that gives you a way to skip the hobby side of miniature gaming.
A Song of Ice and Fire Tabletop Miniature Game – Fight for control of the Iron Throne in a this fantasy tabletop miniatures game based on the books of George .R.R Martin.
Infinity – Fight for control fo the Human Sphere in this scifi skirmish game filled with classic metal miniatures to assemble and paint.
Marvel Crisis Protocol – Assemble a team of Marvel Super Heroes and face your friends head to head on a field of intractable terrain.
Star Wars Legion – Join the unsung battles of the Galactic Wars and bring your favorite Star Wars character to life in model form.

Dust 1947 is expensive like warhammer 40k, i'll pass on that.
Privateer Press : Warma – hordes
Some of the 3d printers are making good goblin armys. Esy good place to buy. ❤
I'm considering Infinity BECAUSE of the metal miniatures ❤️
Helloo Angela 😉
Need to get some battletech in here!
I wonder what she got her degree in?
Sad thing dust got discontinued
awesome video, i would love to paint the dust models but i cant seem to find anything online but ebay selling it for 300 dollors
BattleTech is awesome why don't you ever mention that? Its my 1st real game and painting hobby and it's awesome.
So she has never played marvel crisis protocol but she put it in the video?
I have been playing Infinity, MCP and Battletech.
Bolt Action is pretty nice.
Hey you guys I need help I have been getting into different games with my 14 year old, the most recent has been games he's picked llamas unleashed and here to slay. Hes really getting into it and I want to continue playing with him and I want to encourage his gaming. I was wanting to starting a more budget wargame and campaign game with him. You guys have any ideas? I have spent 3 days already looking around and I was thinking maybe necromundo or battletech but I was thinking for wargames something more simple and with fewer mini figures and with co-op campaign I was thinking something like d and d but I cant find something simple and would spike his interest. Any recommendations?
and nobody played any of them
Mantic games deserve some recognition they have great products and I never see them on any of these kjnds of lists. : Kings of War, Firefight, Deadzone just to name a few. All made by the same designers who worked for GW in past.

this is my favorite video of yours Angela. you should do a redux of it!
No Battletech.
No Babaylon 5: A Call to Arms.
You seriously need to try both of them.
dust is cool
More DIY is needed in the hobby! Less reliance on major games companies and franchises to provide us with entertainment.
Don't get me wrong, I do like all the games in this list, it's just the best stuff is more likely to come from small scale indie designers who don't have shareholders to appease. The best games I ever played were obscure and only had a small player base. The problem was finding players – the games themselves were great!
For players looking for alternative mass fantasy I just launched 'Runestar D12'. Its designed for low-fantasy armies which can easily be made up of historical plastics + mage + dragon! Its only a first edition, but a living game so it's going to be well supported 🙂
Awesome that you mention Dusty 1947. It was very popular where I lived. Unfortunate that Paolo is finished with Dust and it's not being released anymore.
Berkeley as in Berkeley California (famous for UC Berkeley) nice to see a focus on one of the largest wargame stores in the USA. Well done love.. warm thoughts from Richmond CA
ahhhh I'm into Battletech myself but good stuff anyway.. yea I'm so retro that retro is defined by ME! grin! 🙂
The First World War was "The Great War". The Second World War was just that WW2. 👍🏻🎅👍🏻🇺🇸
