A'''''Mage now-defunctKnight''''' is a 2000 tabletop miniatures game from WizKids, later acquired by trading card company Topps. Innovations included pre-painted models, and a model base that contained all of a model's statistics, making 'bookkeeping' or 'tracking' unneccessaryunnecessary.
 
In addition to the rules, the company's Web site also featured a library of 'fluff': a detailed backstory for the game's setting, descriptions of each model's role in the ''Mage Knight'' world and an evolving current storyline that could be influenced by the players themselves. When cards were added to the second edition of the game, they usually also had some sort of flavor text.
Line 7:
 
There was a spin-off game called ''Dungeons'', which more closely resembled a D&D-style dungeon crawl, and a mass-battle ruleset called ''Conquest''. There was also a five-issue comic book series (''Stolen Destiny''), a two-book novel series (''Rebel Thunder'' and ''Dark Destiny''), and a PC game (''Mage Knight: Apocalypse'').
 
The game was re-released in 2013 in a new edition compatible with ''[[Hero Clix]]''.
 
For magic users also skilled in armed combat, see the similarly named [[Magic Knight]].
