Chronopia: War In The Eternal Realm

Overview

It is a dark time. The Old Gods have deserted the world. A new dark pantheon of Gods watches over the earth and feeds upon the spoils of war; a banquet of souls slain on the wretched battlefields of Chronopia. Once you have chosen your army it will be time to select the troops that you will lead into battle. Chronopia isn't a game that relies on the strengths of only one model, but rather the abilities of a diverse collection of warriors all working towards a common goal. You will populate your army with warbands of close combat warriors, soldiers trained in all manner of weaponry from swords to axes; missile weapon warbands that will rain death down upon their enemies in great volleys; and Individuals like spell casters or fearsome monsters or even mighty war chariots. Whatever the case, you will create a diverse army with which to recreate the epic struggles of the Empires of the Fourth Age of Chronopia. You will populate your forces with miniatures and models available from Excelsior Entertainment. These models will represent your own style of waging war and will be selected for your tastes. Once you have chosen your warriors you will need to paint them. A well-painted army will bring your games to life and seize your imagination with the epic battles you will recreate. There are many resources to help you learn how to paint your miniatures and we recommend that you practice and try new techniques- the results will well be worth it. You will need a few things to begin your epic journey into the realms of Chronopia. Most important are this rule book, some Chronopia miniatures from the extensive Chronopia line, Warband Unit Cards (which come with each model), a twenty-sided die (d20), a ruler or measuring tape, and a pen. In addition to these items you may need some of the counters and templates found in the back of this book. You will also need a place to engage your armies in battle. This can be an inspiring custom war game table that you have spent a great amount of time creating or it can be as simple as a dining room table or a stretch of floor. The site of a well-designed table however, with your armies spread out before you will do wonders to fire the imaginations and invigorate your play. There are numerous resources for how to create battlefields and just as many manufactured resources to draw upon. Excelsior also makes a line of battlefield accessories that can be used in your game
