Hey folks, thought I would post
Legend of Mythra here because...
A) It's a club banger and my precious creation
B) It works perfectly with 'plate armoured', 'greatsword' and 'halberdy' dudes!
This is a skirmish game where each model is it's own 'unit'. Model count varies quite a lot depending on scale of game and army list used. A mid-sized Kingdom vs Horde battle might be around thirty-ish models per side, with a hero, mage and a monster each. If you took an all-elite army, maybe fifteen or so models, an all-Goblin company might peak around fifty.
There is loads of variety in the list building. For instance you can arm your Men-at-Arms with Great Swords, Great Axes, Flails, Spears, Halberds, Sword and Shield, etc.
Otherwise the game engine is designed to be straight forward and there aren't too many special rules, so you can focus on strategy and just having fun. Combat is two-dice roll, turn sequence is shared, plate armoured guys are
tanks (as they should be), most missile troops can stay mobile and long weapons are king of the battlefield (as they really should be!)
The world of Mythra is also well developed for narrative players. This might be one of the first games based on a Finnic and Baltic setting, so it feels unique. There is an expansion book on top of the core book which goes into even more detail and adds an entire saga into the mix. If you want to find out who the legendary
Mythra King was, who the vile
Suurukai are and how the
Black Fang are fighting to defeat them, link below.
