The time has finally come! I’ve been counting the days to March 1st for two grand reasons. First, I’m embarking on a much-needed, well-earned one-week vacation—because even warriors must rest. But far more importantly, this blog for the entire month of March is going to be fully devoted to Warcrow, Corvus Belli’s latest foray into the realm of miniature warfare. That’s right, war gamers—March is Warcrow Month!

What is Warcrow? Who are Corvus Belli? And Why Should You Care?

If you’re familiar with the legendary skirmish game Infinity, then you already know that Corvus Belli, the Spanish masterminds behind it, are among the best in the business. If you don’t know that…well now you do!

Corvus Belli’s reputation is built on the quality of its products and stellar game design, especially its Infinity miniature war game that boasts outstanding artistry and some of the richest war game mechanics you’ll find anywhere. I would personally argue few miniature lines can compete with giants like Games Workshop, but Corvus Belli I think would be on the shortlist in such a competition.

Where Infinity brought us into the high-tech, cyberpunk future, Warcrow, Corvus Belli’s latest venture plunges us into the heart of a brand-new fantasy world—the world of Lindwurm. This isn’t just a skirmish game; it’s the gateway to an entire setting, filled with breathtaking miniatures, deep lore, and even a cooperative adventure game that introduces the setting in all its mystical glory.

This is a big deal because when it comes to the fantasy genre in miniature war gaming, while there is a lot of selection available if you look a little closer at what is happening in the miniature game business you will realize that it’s actually pretty slim pickings out there. You have GW’s Old World which is essentially an old relic unnecessarily revived and their gonzo fantasy Age of Sigmar, I would argue a watered-down version of Warhammer 40k. Beyond that, you have a whole bunch of games that are already dead or dying as products. Strictly speaking, in the fantasy space there is not much to hang your hat on, so for Corvus Belli to step up and deal themselves into this market, given their reputation for quality products, it’s a big deal.

How Did We Get Here?

From the moment Warcrow was announced, my local gaming group has been enthralled. We dipped our toes into the world with Warcrow: The Adventure Game, and from the first dice roll, we were hooked. The evocative setting, the stunning miniatures, the whisper of forgotten magic—it all coalesced into something special. That passion has only grown, leading us to this moment—the full release of the skirmish game itself and an opportunity for a fresh start in a new, modern miniature war game.

When a game generates this much hype in a group of seasoned hobbyists like us, you know something magical is brewing. Not only has it fueled our get-togethers and gaming nights, but it has also ignited a fire in me as a blogger.

A Sponsored Review

One of the unique privileges of running this blog is having a voice in the community. Every so often, that voice catches the attention of game companies looking for exposure, sending review copies in hopes of coverage. While I appreciate the offers, I always remind my readers and would-be sponsors that I’m not a professional critic, nor is this blog a business. I write purely out of love for the hobby, driven by an insatiable need to spill my thoughts onto the page.

This is usually enough to discourage would-be sponsors but Corvus Belli is a very different kind of company and they very politely insisted. I believe this is because Corvus Belli is a company that doesn’t just want hype, they want to ingratiate themselves with gaming groups and clubs, serving the culture and fans just like you and me. Corvus Belli is a company made up of gamers, making a game out of the sheer love of the hobby and it shows.

That’s why Warcrow Month is happening, I feel very privileged to have a great company like Corvus Belli sponsor our local gaming scene, and seeing how excited everyone around here is for Warcrow, I accepted their very generous offer of providing review copies and I’m happy to make a big show of it in my local scene and on this blog.

Warcrow March – Overview

For the entire month of March, this blog will be dedicated to Warcrow—from the thrill of unboxing to a final verdict on Winds of the North and the various supplements released so far. Expect battle reports, deep dives, and plenty of tactical musings as we journey through the world of Lindwurm.

But this isn’t just my adventure. In a rare and welcome twist, members of my local gaming club are volunteering to join the writing expedition! Some of them will be penning their own articles on this blog, sharing firsthand experiences and insights. This means you won’t just get one perspective—you’ll witness a full-fledged campaign of discovery as we put Warcrow through its paces.

Now, let’s be clear: we’re excited, but we’re also gamers—and gamers are a critical bunch, especially my rambunctious crew. No promises of favoritism have been made to Corvus Belli. This is not a sales pitch. We’re here to test the game, explore its strengths and weaknesses, and see if Warcrow truly delivers on its promise.

I’m super excited, let’s do this!
