Crusader Publishing offers a playtest version of their Legions of Battle Fantasy Rules. They authors write:
Legions of Battle are a set of Fantasy wargame rules designed to allow you to fight epic battles between a vast array of creatures and races.
The rules themselves can be tailored to suit any fantasy setting and the game system is designed to allow you to create and field any troops that you like, limited only by your imagination and figures available. A comprehensive points system allows the design of troops as you think they should be represented.
The basic game mechanics themselves are simple to pick up and play, this allows special units, characters, abilities and magic to be added without slowing the game down to a crawl.
Alternate activation phases within a turn means that players on both sides are kept involved and the game is perfectly suited to large battles with multiple players per side.
The basing system has been designed so that fantasy armies used for other rule systems can be fielded without any need to rebase figures.

Miniature Wargaming is part of the "adventure games" hobby, which includes r ole p laying and board games. Wargamers recreate battles on the tabletop with toy soldiers, like a more complicated game of chess. Models range in height from 6mm to 28mm tall, with 15mm and 25mm being the most popular. There also is a growing interest in toy soldiers and military models, such as the 1/32 and 1/35 scale plastic soldiers from Conte, and Marx.
The most popular miniature wargames are fantasy and science fiction based, such as Warhammer, Warhammer 40K, Warmachine and The Lord of the Rings. World War II games such as Flames of War and Axis and Allies are new favorites. Other favorite historical periods include Napoleonics, the American Civil War, and ancients, such as Romans or Greeks. Other gamers enjoy miniature naval wargames, recreating battles like Trafalgar, Jutland and the Coral Sea.
Hobbyists research historical periods and paint their tiny soldiers in accurate uniforms. Others develop "historically realistic" rules sets or build scale battlefield terrain using model railroad techniques.
For pictures, visit the gallery.
Some of the bigger hobby companies are Games Workshop, which produces Warhammer, Wargames Foundry and Old Glory Miniatures. Wizards of the Coast produces several lines of pre-painted miniatures games, such as the Star Wars and Dungeons and Dragons miniatures games, and a historical game with pre-painted miniatures: The new Axis and Allies game. Wizkids produces a fantasy collectable miniatures game, such as the Mage Knight and Heroclick fantasy games, the science fiction games MechWarrior and Rocketmen, as well as the quasi-historical Pirates of the Spanish Main.
