description Dragon Rampant Overview

Dragon Rampant is a fantasy skirmish miniatures game authored by Daniel Mersey and published by Osprey Games in 2016. It adapts the core mechanics of Mersey's historical ruleset, Lion Rampant, to accommodate magical troops, heroes, and mythical monsters. The system is explicitly designed to be model-agnostic, allowing players to construct units and point values for their existing collections of fantasy miniatures without requiring officially branded figures.

Dragon Rampant adapts Daniel Mersey's Lion Rampant framework for fantasy battles. It keeps the small-warband command system while adding rules for magic, monsters, undead, orcs, and other fantasy forces.

How large is a typical Dragon Rampant army?

The first edition describes an army of roughly six to eight units, with each unit usually containing six to twelve individually based figures. The exact miniature count can vary because the rules are designed to work with models from different ranges.

What actions can units take in Dragon Rampant?

A unit normally attempts to Move, Attack, or Shoot when activated, with magic and summoning available to appropriate fantasy units. The activation system makes command reliability important because a failed order can interrupt the planned sequence of a battle.
