About the game
What you do in a play session
Imagine the year 1066, but instead of a simple political dispute for the English crown, Pope Alexander II makes a sinister pact with Hell itself. In Sublime Heresy, the Norman conquest of England becomes the stage for an epic supernatural war between the legions of Hell and the chorus of Heaven. This is a miniatures skirmish game where you take command of thematic armies on a 2x2 foot board, bringing a dark twist to the medieval historical setting we all know. You can lead the forces of Harold Godwinson, aided by the angel Casmius, face the horrors brought by William the Despoiler, or command the Rune Guard of the Norwegian king Harald Hardrada, calling upon the power of the old gods. The experience is focused on tactics, requiring you to manage your units and positions carefully. The system uses ten-sided dice (d10) and tape measures to resolve combat and movement, keeping the flow fast and focused on the battlefield. One of the great highlights is the use of 'Fate Dice,' which you roll at the start of the game. They aren't just for luck; you can swap them for other results or spend them to take extra actions, adding a delightful layer of strategy where risk management is essential. The game is accessible to anyone who already has 28mm miniatures in their collection, serving as the perfect excuse to take your Saxons and Normans out of the box and give them a demonic or heavenly purpose. Whether you are a historical wargame buff looking for a touch of fantasy or someone who loves a good medieval horror setting, Sublime Heresy offers a fast, tense, and highly customizable experience. As a two-player game, interaction is direct and constant: every decision counts, and positioning on the board is key to avoiding being decimated by the opposing forces. It is a treat for those who love painting miniatures and creating their own narratives in a world where history was rewritten with blood, fire, and divine intervention.
