Frostgrave - Mordheim on Ice

From Northstar and Osprey. They're using "Nickstarter", which is their version of KS.

FROSTGRAVE - Fantasy Wargames in the Frozen City Amidst the frozen ruins of an ancient city, wizards battle in the hopes of discovering the treasures of a fallen empire. In this fantasy skirmish wargame, each player takes on the role of a wizard from one of ten schools of magic, and builds his band of followers. The wizard's apprentice will usually accompany his master, and more than a dozen other henchman types are available for hire, from lowly thugs to heavily armoured knights and stealthy thieves. Wizards can expand their magical knowledge by unlocking ancient secrets and may learn up to 80 different spells.

While individual games of Frostgrave are quick and can easily be played in an hour or two, it is by connecting them into an ongoing campaign that players will find the most enjoyment. In the campaign section, players will find treasure tables, rules for establishing bases, and even tables for wandering monsters. The scenarios given in the book are merely the beginning of the limitless adventures that can be found amidst the ruins of the Frozen City.

I was going to ask the same thing. I can't find anything via that link.

Probably best to shoot Northstar an email - not sure if there are any trial/basic rules about.

[Edit] Shot them an email.

Sent an email to Osprey - will see if there's any reply.

From a bit of digging, the rulebook is up for pre-order on Osprey at £14.99, the "Nickstarter" has the book at £15 with 6 treasure chests, so even if you just want the book the Nickstarter is a better bet.

the plastics look brilliant! Really like the look of them, reminds me of the look of Fable characters. (the game, not the comic series)
