Title: Grimdark Warzone
Post by: swiftnick on 08 February 2023, 10:56:03 AM
We have continued to game in the Warzone universe using Stargrave. Wanting to play bigger battles we turned to the wonderful Grimdark rules.
A flavour of one of our recent games.

Love those models. I have always been sad that I was not making money to splurge on them when they were out.

Great urban table and the game looks fun ! Can you tell me which manufacturer is this black miniature from?

He is one of the crooked dice Blakes 7 characters.  I use him as head of Bauhaus intelligence.

Cracking stuff! I was more into Chronopia, but still have a decent Warzone army somewhere on my parent’s attic. Lovely game, brilliant fluff, right between Doom and Cthulhu.

Your games look great, especially the urban tabletop is amazing.

Just a question about the rules: which one do you use? Grimdark doesn’t ring a bell.

It is the one page rules Grimdark set.

Great stuff.
Where are those two civilian vehicles from?

They are two of the Bandai spectrum vehicles.

Thanks! Heard a lot of good things about that set of rules.

Ah, great to see those old models out and in use!  :D

Are the "Brits" in the top post the Wargame Atlantic Bulldogs kit? If so, I'm impressed at well they fit in...

Yes that's the bulldogs.

I really love this entire setup. The Warzone (and AT43 and other!) miniatures work together prefectly to get that warm, fuzzy nineties feeling. Looks like you had a blast playing this too! 8)

Looks to be one of Crooked Dice's not-Blakes7 bad guys. Lieutenant Travis I believe...

Which factions did you use for Bauhaus, Imperial, and the Dark Legion soldiers? I've been looking at doing larger battles with Grimdark Future so I can pit my Warzone models against other players' 40k forces.

Bauhaus and imperial both used variations of the Human Defence force.
There waa a force of unaligned AT43 troops using the rebel guerrillas list.
The dark symmetry player I think used wormhole demons.

It’s one of the few downsides of this otherwise excellent set of rules that it’s just tuned to imitate 40k. But except for Xenos Rampant, I would not have any idea what else to use.

Thanks,
     Another line to research!

Pretty cool color scheme. It is very possible that I'll steal it in the future.
