It is designed for armies of 28 mm scale models on square bases. DevelopmentAfter the release of the End Times expansions for the 8th edition of Warhammer Fantasy Battle in 2014-2015,[1] Games Workshop discontinued both its game system and its lore. It was then replaced in its catalog by Warhammer Age of Sigmar, which left some tabletop wargamers estranged.[2][3] In June 2015, Lagge and fjugin, two prominent staff members of the Swedish Comp System (a fan-made expansion for competitive play of Warhammer Fantasy Battle), initiated a separate project called The Ninth Age and aimed at providing a new and balanced game system, chiefly for former players of Warhammer Fantasy Battle.[4] The project snowballed, attracting the attention of many wargamers[5] including tournaments organizers in Europe[6] and North America such as the European Tabletop Championship 2017 edition[7] in Salamanca, Spain, and the Buckeye Battles[8] in Columbus, Ohio. Independent miniature manufacturers, including Avatars of War[9] and Tabletop Miniatures Solutions,[10] have launched lines of models dedicated to or compatible with the rules of The Ninth Age. The game has also become supported by BattleScribe[11], Quartermaster[12] and Magnetic – Movementtray.com[13]. To ease the introduction of new players to the game, the authors released the Quick Starter edition in April 2017.[14] It represents a faster and easier version of the core game, played on a smaller scale. The 72 page rulebook includes elementary lists for all 16 factions, an introduction to the world of the Ninth Age and unique artwork. The second edition of the ruleset was released in December 2018 after a year of beta testing and is intended to stay unchanged for several years during which the team will focus on the production of new army books.[15] Army booksEach army book, free to download from the game's website[16], details the military units of a high fantasy faction. The team is gradually converting slim books into full books including artwork and background. Unit names include various cultural references such the Beast Herds' Jabberwock (a creature invented by the English writer Lewis Carroll), the Vampire Covenant's Varkolak (a legendary vampire or werewolf from the Balkan folklore), and numerous other inspirations from ancient mythologies, human History and natural history. Core armiesThe game fully supports 16 armies inspired by Warhammer Fantasy Battle.
After the release of the full books of the Warriors of the Dark Gods and the Daemon Legions in 2018, the team has announced that the Infernal Dwarves and the Dread Elves should be the next armies to be treated with a major overhaul.[21] Other armiesIn addition to the 16 core armies, the game includes a smaller number of armies which are not designed for competitive play.
Finally, a large range of unofficial homebrew army books are developed and shared by community members on the forum of the game.[26] The 9th ScrollThe 9th Scroll is a bi-monthly online magazine available for free on the game's website, featuring interviews, do-it-yourself tutorials, homebrew rules, armies showcases and other articles from the community and the T9A staff. Issue 4 (July 2017) has over 75.000 downloads.[27]External links
