>What is /awg/?
A thread to talk about minis and games which fall between the cracks, or peoples' homebrew wargames.
The >>>/tg/hwg thread doesn't entertain fantasy (for good reason) and the other threads are locked to more specific games.
This thread isn't tied to a game, a publisher, or a genre, let's just talk about fun wargames. Any scale, any company, any miniatures.

>Examples of games that qualify.
A Song of Ice and Fire, Argatoria, Batman Miniature Game, Carnevale, Conquest: The Last Argument of Kings,
Deadzone, Dragon Rampant, Dropfleet and Dropzone Commander, Freebooter's Fate, Frostgrave, Gaslands, HeroClix,
Kings of War, Maelstrom's Edge, Malifaux, Marvel Crisis Protocol, Masters of the Universe: Battleground, Moonstone,
Oathmark, OnePageRules, Open Combat, RelicBlade, Rumbleslam, SAGA, StarCraft, Stargrave, Sludge, Urban War, Void,
Warcaster, Warmachine, Xenos Rampant, Xenotactics...
...and anything else that doesn't necessarily have a dedicated thread.

>Examples of companies providing rules and/or miniatures for alternative wargames.
Archon Studio, Atomic Mass Games, Black Site Studios, CMON, Goblin King Games, Lucid Eye, Mantic,
North Star Military Figures, OnePageRules, Osprey, Para Bellum, Seb Games, Spellcrow, TTCombat,
Victrix, Wargames Atlantic, Warlord Games...
...and many other publishers.

Did steamforged games drop physical support for warmahordes in favor of 3d prints as side-project? I'm confused
>>
>>97645028
No. They still sell physical stuff, and even most of the MMF releases get added to their store about a month later.

If this is about the Frontier thing, that's them releasing three legacy armies that were always a limited release from Privateer.
>>
>>97645101
but is it any idication of future support or is it just for legacy's sake? i recall cryxiss being moderately unpopular when they dropped and completely missed out on infernal/grymkin even existing and if the files/printed minis would be better way of even getting small-scale game going at the club over importing at current prices from their shop
>>
>>97642127
Sec-sorry, thirding this. Brilliant game, I have 4 armies for it (St Mary, St John, Brood, Skarrd). Brilliant game.

Have y'all heard of CARNIVORE? It's this upcoming wargame about dinosaurs. I'm sure there's at least one person here that would enjoy it
>>
Can anyone hook me up with a copy of Rogue Hammer from Nordic Weasel Games?
>>
>>97646402
What about dinos? Are we hunting dinos or are you playing the dinos themselves?
>>
>>97646402
I still haven't worked my way around to the last dinosaur game I picked up.

I'm looking for a squad based sci-fi game and everything is either too light and random or too crunchy. I've given Stargrave and Space Weirdos a go and they both just way too swingy. There just seems to be this vast gulf between rules lite stuff like Space Weirdos and then really crunchy games like Infinity with very little inbetween.
>>
>>97646859
>Stargrave
I own it, but I haven't looked into it yet.
>Space Weirdos
Can't stand it.

>a squad based sci-fi game
The thing that comes to mind immediately is Squad Hammer. But I haven't played it in years.
>>
>>97646859
Maybe Xenotactics? Heard some say it's a simplified Infinity-lite.
Or perhaps FiveCore, but I haven't played it yet so I don't know.
>>
>>97640959
Are people still into Turnip28?
I noticed that there are semi-regular turnip28 events in my area and I am hyped to kitbash some models together. Will also try to sculpt some stuff with greenstuff for this.
>>
>>97647088
If there are semi-regular events for it in your area then I think you answered your own question
>>
>>97647088
Try your local gay bar

How well do Ramshackle Games Dwarves scale against GW Ironhead Squats? Are they similar in size?
>>
>>97647088
The greenstuff factory literally closed for good. Treat your greenstuff like gold.
>>
>>97646859
Squad Hammer Core, nigga

>>97647235
Brotha dozens of companies make the exact same shit for cheaper. You can buy generic greenstuff on Amazon this very moment
>>
>>97647235
Greenstuff is just one name for it, it also goes by Kneadatite and is widely available from a large number of sources.
>>
>>97647322
>>97647341
>Other companies make it
They merely repackage it, the original manufacturer is stopping production and there is no publicly available formula to replicate it.

There will be alternatives, but it'll take time, won't be the same and will probably be pricier to take advantage of the vacuum.
>>
>>97646859
>vast gulf between rules lite and really crunchy
Take a look at Renegade Scout and This Is Not A Test, they're medium crunch.
Haven't had a chance to try it but Shoot People In Space is suppose to be medium as well.
Osprey's Black Ops with the scifi bits added in might work, its sort of light but there's a decent amount going on with movement and missions it could be where you want.
>>97647006
>fivecore
One of my favourite but its light as fuck.
>>
>>97645132
They said it's only going to be for the legacy armies, and that none of the new ones are ever going fully digital.
