Xenos Rampant

[Torg]

I have not tried any of the other of the "Rampant" games - but I did pre-order Xenos Rampant which I should receive in a week or so. Seems like a cool way to quickly play with my dusty 40k stuff.

anyone else know anything about this new option?

I have preordered the book, and planning to do some game days up at Dice Age in January-ish.

My book arrived, and I am impressed.  This covers everything from WW1 on, with or without magic and weirdness. 

 

You looking to have a Bolt Action army fight some Space Marines?  Covered.

I was always impressed with (but never got to play) <i>Lion Rampant</i> and <I>Dragon Rampant</i> which Daniel Mersey also wrote. Both a “rank-n-flank” medieval war games with <i>Lion</i> leaning towards history and <i>Dragon</i> leaning towards fantasy.   
    
I’m currently poking around trying to find an alternative system for WH40k. The <i>Grimdark Future</i>
 system from One Page Rules is pretty popular… But the old grognard in me feels like I should have a dead tree book to make it a “real” game.

I would say that Grimdark Future is very much 'alternative 40k'.  I would peg Xeno Rampant as 'whatever sci-fi models you want, come on in!'.

I hope to get a test game in later this week with my AT43 Therians vs Gates of Antares Freeborn.
