ROGUE PLANET sci-fantasy cover art sneak peek

[Nord]

I really like the sound of this ruleset, I could finally get to use my WH40K orks and maybe even my Sedition Wars figures. Do the rules include things like walkers, or vehicles?

I also had the fairly crazy idea of using them in a steampunk setting, which after all is sci fantasy set in the past rather than the future. Any reason why I could not do this?

The rules allow you to built about everything.
You're building up the gamingstats for the modells you want to use yourself.

There are four "Armour Rating" classes, "Light" which include standard infantry and beasts, "Medium" to represent mounts, light scout vehicles and very well protected infantry, "Heavy" for the real big beasties, mechs etc and "Groups" for the mobs and so.
So, no prob to built the stats for a walker

And no, there's no reason to not use them for steampunk

Comsquare nailed it, and you can definitely use it for steampunk. In fact, there's no reason you can't mix  steampunk, fantasy, and science fiction elements in the same game.

Excellent news.

What size forces do the rules accommodate? I am thinking around 15 - 20 per side for most gaming, but with my 40k collection it would be nearer to 100 per side. Do the rules scale in this way?

The rules will scale with how you want to theme your force. The number of models per side really depends on how you build your force. You easily represent extremes at various credit limits. The classic example I like to give is this:

Go with a slightly beefed-up stat line for a group of models [like 5/4/4] and give the each one medium powered armor and some gear. If even one of these models had a powered weapon, then you would only have around 3 'galactic marine' models comprising a 300 credit force. In sharp contrast, a 'bug force' with the basic troops having a stat line of 3/2/3, blade 'claws', and using the group trait would net you around 9 units in a 300 credit force with 36 models in total. 3 versus 36? Fun stuff!

Are there any battle reports online? I always think these give a good idea of how a game plays.

+1 for this.
I've being umming and ahhing about this for a little while now and a battle report/video battle report would probably help me make my decision.

Sorry, but I don't know of any full blown battle reports that are out there yet.
