Kings of War is an interesting fantasy wargame written by the authors of Warhammer. It is reported to be simpler and faster that Warhammer Fantasy. There is also a Kings of War tournament in November 2017 in San Antonio. Kings of War is a fast-play fantasy miniature game by Mantic Games which can play in an hour).

In addition to fighting fantasy battles, you can also do historical games, since they are simply a subset of the fantasy medieval battles.

Their quickstart rules are free.

They had a recent, fairly successful Kickstarter to fund the new edition.

Here are some reviews:

Although Warhammer and Warmachine have a sizable presence at conventions and local stores, interest in Historical Miniatures gaming is also fairly active, although typically seen at different venues.

I created a page which has an overview of the various groups and cons in the region which feature Historical Miniatures Wargames. Check it out!
