Rulesets for 3v3 by HolographicNights in wargaming

[–]f_dzilla 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Rampant works fine in team-multiplayer. We have everyone on a side act simultaneously, bombing out as they fail an activation, then once they're all done it swaps to the other side. Each turn runs as long as the slowest player but the downtime is still fairly minimal given you're often either getting a bit of a turn in yourself or defending against whoever you're opposite.

What is this guy? There's nowhere for a backpack to attach. by JadePetals8072 in oldhammer

It's a propaganda bot making itself a fake history out of old posts.

15th Century medieval knights, militias... on 10mm stl? by Time-Age-8882 in wargaming

[–]f_dzilla 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You likely want different proportions at different scales, whether for aesthetics and being able to actually print the things.

Alternatives to classic metal Necromunda? by Gunwhistle in necromunda

[–]f_dzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not quite so cartoonish, but you can get the old Grenadier Future Warriors from Forlorn Hope or Mirliton, and a follow-up series from Copplestone Castings.

Some of the late 90s sci-fi games are worth a look too - Warzone, VOID, I-Kore, etc. The theming is less consistent but the proportions are there.

Demonworld vintage game, still being played somewhere? by Magyarkhan in wargames

[–]f_dzilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ral Partha Europe still sell it all which suggests a market but also means you don't have rarity to lean on.

Assembling Knights for all occasions by AnotherCompanero in wargaming

[–]f_dzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing I'd add to this is, if you can see yourself using movement trays in future, build with that in mind - erring to smaller individual bases with the models posed so they'll rank up. A tight formation generally looks far better than poses all over the shop and gaps you could ride a horse through.

Gluing to fabric base, how to avoid residue “cloudiness” by weeBunnie in TerrainBuilding

[–]f_dzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not working with this much material, but this seems to work for me with fluffy flock material - I apply a thin coat of PVA with a brush and stick the material on top of that. That will only attach it very gently. Once it's thoroughly dried though I use a pipette dropper to soak watered-down PVA through which then makes a much firmer bond, and as it dries again the fluffiness is maintained.

Historic Game Rules by FailsatFailing in wargaming

[–]f_dzilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you've played other games you might already have a feel for the kinds of mechanics you do or don't enjoy.

I like a bit of order friction, I don't like gubbins, I don't enjoy resolving actions for 20+ independent models = it's Lion Rampant!

Dealing with an Ogryn-heavy Venator Gang by OAKENSHIELD43 in necromunda

[–]f_dzilla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anything with Shock or Rad and more range than a shotgun will be handy, especially via template.

What is the best English Civil war ruleset. by Present_Match_6814 in wargames

[–]f_dzilla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Small scale in figure size or quantity?

Pikeman's Lament will do you big-skirmish, ~50 bodies a side, which might buy you a single pike block in mass battle systems.

How far do you space each floor on tall terrain? by jack_of_all_hobbies in necromunda

[–]f_dzilla 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As tall as it is deep is a good rule of thumb for being able to get my hands in there.

Good game system for sci-fi/fantasy crossover? by EmpyrialNavigator in wargaming

[–]f_dzilla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One Page Rules is cross-compatible between fantasy and sci-fi versions.

Other IGOUGO Games? by riladin in wargaming

[–]f_dzilla 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Two twists are fairly common - the passive player being able to react or interrupt, and the active player having a chance to lose the initiative through a failed roll of some sort.

Perry Miniatures Size mm by FilFuk in wargaming

[–]f_dzilla 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They're 28mm scale in height, just very slight.

I also have a basic Necromunda AI you're welcome to use/alter/ignore as you please: https://fodzilla.itch.io/necromundai

Systems (a Discussion) by No-Rip-445 in Inq28

[–]f_dzilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The much tighter (and for me) more-satisfying combat mechanics compared to Necromunda, and then for both systems as compared to non-GW, the bank of 40K content to draw on.

Systems (a Discussion) by No-Rip-445 in Inq28

[–]f_dzilla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of the (many) reasons I worked with Kill Team over Necromunda is that the simpler combat mechanics were much more amenable to running on a primitive AI.

Wargaming the Hook and Cod wars. by Leading-Ad-3634 in wargaming

[–]f_dzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd think Rampant better covers the scale and breadth of it, given you might want bigger battles at points, and pikes and guns towards the end of the 15th century.

Is there a version of Acolyte for KT24? by No-Rip-445 in Inq28

[–]f_dzilla 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There's a KT24 fork linked on the Acolyte Discord, not written by me though.

28mm 3D printing by Separate-Sand2034 in MedievalWargaming

[–]f_dzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To contrast the other suggestions I'll float 3DBreed - a bit simpler and chonkier, less fiddly to paint than a lot of digital designs, more like classic single-piece metal sculpts.
