This is awesome, thank you for sharing it!

I love these rules, and just sprung for the Patreon-only content.

I'm very curious to try these. The elimination of the "roll to wound" step is a little odd, it seems like it would make all weapons more or less equal. Unless I'm missing something, a lasgun will have the same chance to wound a vehicle that an autocannon would, which seems a bit off. Otherwise, it looks really cool, and I wanna try it.

I would try this

A bit of thread necromancy here, but after years of being a GW fan boy, their insistence of putting rules behind paywall after paywall is starting to get to me.

I've been looking over the Grimdark Future rules and like what I see. I also joined the Patreon for the full rules and those awesome STLs, might look at putting a force together in the near future.

I’m interested in trying Grimdark Future, I mean, even if the rules are terrible you can’t beat the price. However, a lot of people who’s opinions on these sorts of things I generally trust have had very positive things to say about Grimdark Future.

I’m less interested in their fantasy offering, since I generally prefer “rank and flank” to “individual base” for mass combat games.

Really like the rules I've read, it reminds me a bit of 5th edition 40K, but with alternating activations and better missions. I also like using a keyword based system, as it seems to make things a bit more streamlined .

[Andrewgeddon]

So I may or may not have purchased One Page Rules' entire "Alien Hives" STL library since I had the 70% off code from being a Patron. Absolutely love the look of these, very much a "Not Tyranids" army that is close to the GW models while having it's own feel. Time to start looking at getting a Grimdark Future force together...

[Gordianus]

I would like to try their rule sets as well. Might even try being a patron to get the full rules.

[Accursed Dice]

Any of you played some games yet? Very interested - the rules seem a bit more simplified than I tend to like - but still looks like it could be fun and A LOT faster than 40k.

[scottshoemaker]

This. Especially for fantasy. Would prefer 15mm for budget tho.

[Andrewgeddon]

Still haven't played Grimdark Future yet, my gaming group is pretty content to play 40K and I haven't really had the time to try and find games outside of it with the holidays and all. Maybe after the New Year.

I like the idea of 15mm but ironically 25mm is so ubiquitous I’ve already got a bunch of them to use but own no 15mm as of yet.

Though as you run a 3D print service maybe you were already counting on that . . . 😈

[scottshoemaker]

10mm (Warmaster scale) scales up to 15mm quite nicely. I don't have any 28mm fantasy anymore, I suspect many folks ditched when Fantasy died.  For me personally it's a nice size for affordability and the time commitment to paint it.

 

[Andrewgeddon]

Apparently rising this thread from the dead is becoming a holiday tradition for me? 

Anyway, I'm now back on the OPR train after a year of unsatisfactory decisions from GW for 40K and AoS, lol. I've been consuming a bunch of battle reports, and I'm hoping to try and actually play a game of Grimdark Future sometime after the holidays. I guess there are a few people that play up at Mindtaker?

Also, for anyone who hasn't seen it, OPR has an online army builder for their various systems, and it RULES: https://army-forge.onepagerules.com/

[Brother Glacius]

Has anyone made a conversion of models to units for OPR? That was one of the bits that confused me reading thru some of the lists. I could work out a bunch of them, but sometimes I was scratching my head. I would love to give OPR a good try.

I thought they were all pretty straight forward as to what 40K models were the OPR equivalent, were there any in particular you were wondering about?

[Brother Glacius]

I'd have to go back and look, its been months since I had done that...I think it might have been some necron units at the time since that was the army I had been interested at the time.

 

[Ish]

The WH40K/AoS to OPR equivalent oils very on the nose for factions, individual units can be a bit more opaque… But I suppose as long as you and your opponent(s) can tell Model X apart from Model Y, it isn’t hugely important.

Haven't looked through the "Robot Legions" stuff, but I did spend time with the Alien Hive list, and there were a few units that felt kinda ambiguous until I looked at the weapon loadouts for clarity. Like a "Tyrant Beast" vs a "Hive Lord," but then you see the Beast has basically the Acid Spray + various Tyranofex weapon options.

[Ish]

So… Turns out “there’s a wiki for that” is the new “let me Google that for you.” Looks like some folks have already made a list of suggested miniatures for each faction.

Nice, that's actually really handy! I had no idea what the "Rebel Guerrillas" were supposed to represent since I don't really follow Deadzone.

My read on them was “Genestealer Cults without Alien Gribblies” or “Traitor Guard without Demonic Gribblies.”

Good call, I was kinda look at doing a full "Cultist" army at some point, and the Guerrillas list was one I was looking at, as well the Soulsnatcher Cults
