Medieval Landing Ship - Northern Crusades Miniatures

One of the first Medieval Ships for modellers and wargamers I did was the Medieval Landing Ship, which are designed with a ramp at the front. Here it is scaled down to 1/72 scale, printed and painted, and some ropes added for realism. Not sure it is historically correct, but I am confident it is cool :0)

Aftermath: A Post-Apoc Wargame has been updated

Aftermath is a post-apoc wargame where players build armies to fight over resources. No one remembers how the world ended (called the Before) but they still know how to fight.

Aftermath is a d6 roll-under system. It has 1 Stat: the Ability Score. Roll a number of dice based upon the situation and action (jumping, attacking, etc).

You use Scrap to purchase upgrades such as Traits, Equipment and Weapons to take from other players.

It is meant to be simple, fast, and deadly that has different modules available to scale up complexity. It is available on wargamevault as a PWYW product.

Let me know what you think!

Horned Ones - Swordsman Legion

The Swordsmen Legions form the backbone of the Horned Ones Clan armies, serving as dependable line infantry in countless wars fought beneath the banners of the Ringholds. Heavily armoured by the standards of most realms, these disciplined warriors march to battle clad in thick mail and iron plate, carrying sturdy shields and broad dwarven blades forged in the deep halls of their ancestors. Though not renowned for reckless charges or glorious heroics, the Swordsmen are respected for their endurance, discipline, and unyielding resolve. Once ordered to hold a gate, tunnel, or fortified position, they fight with grim determination, refusing to yield ground even against overwhelming odds. Patient, stubborn, and relentless, the Horned Legion’s Swordsmen embody the enduring strength for which the dwarves are feared across Chronopia.

Ad Arma 2026 - The Uprising Tactical Board Game was tested...

During the Ad Arma 2026 the upcoming game "The Uprising" was present for the first time and the game was tested live. Here some images from the convention and of the game and two of the gamers.... and no, you do not need to wear a 30 kilo chainmail protection to play, but it do add to the experience...

I hope to be able to show a few images of the rulebook soon - as well as some more images of printed/painted miniatures. The miniatures in the game are designed by Northern Crusades Miniatures, and the same miniatures are used for the artwork, so you actually get the models from the artwork in the game...

Warsurge - Fallout Crew vs. Tyranids

War never changes. Played a round with Fallout and 40k Tyranids using Warsurge Compendium presets. Just a fun little scenario where a handful of gaunts had been lurking in the wastes, which certainly begs more questions as to how they got there... oh, and a neurotyrant!

Orc Kutara Lancer

Under banners slick with gore and glory ride the ORC KUTARA LANCERS, the savage nobility of the Blood Throne, mounted upon ravenous Kutaras. Clad in barbaric finery stolen from conquered kings and adorned with crimson silks, brass trophies, these flamboyant warriors thunder into battle amidst deafening war cries and cruel laughter, revelling in slaughter as though it were a sacred feast. Though wild in temperament and brutal beyond reason, the Lancers are bound by an unbreakable code of loyalty to the Throne of Blood, forever striving to prove their worth through impossible feats of courage and catastrophic charges that shatter shield walls like dry timber before a storm. Wherever their blood-soaked standards appear, terror follows, for the coming of the Kutara Lancers heralds not merely war, but a glorious massacre from which few survive and none emerge unchanged.

Beyond All Reason is getting commercially hijacked? (Leak)

The reason I'm posting this here is because I've been explicitly told that if I post in the Beyond All Reason subreddit, I would be banned for it. In fact, quick update... I am now banned...

Anyway, the loved RTS Beyond All Reason has had a leak exposing a hidden plan.

A project that took something like 100+ volunteers to create is now going to go into the hands of five people to control. A leaked internal document admits, in their own words, that "the BAR organisation is and will be a for-profit venture"

It also admits that player donations were already used to pay legal and corporate setup costs for that for-profit company, and the team says they "were never fully comfortable with that."

When a community member asked directly whether the GPL even allows this kind of arrangement, an admin replied "this is being discussed with the team."

A new single-player campaign gets built with publisher money and sold on Steam as a paid product. The free multiplayer gets shipped on Steam as a demo of the paid game. The website launcher stays alive as the real free version off to the side. To anyone browsing Steam, BAR becomes a commercial product.

Ownership is planned to sit with five admins, not the wider contributor base.

There is a public GitHub issue where a senior developer acknowledges that personally-owned proprietary assets have been mixed into the shipping game for years.

Past contributors, including people behind Spring Engine and Balanced Annihilation work used by BAR, appear to get no automatic ownership, payout, or revenue share.

Is it legal? Maybe. Building paid content on top of a free engine is how id Software ran the Doom and Quake business.

There needs to be a real public discussion about this move but we won't get that unless we say something...

Warsurge and War Factory

So, just sharing pics of a game and that I'm looking forward to the war factory mode coming to Warsurge. I set up and played a round inspired by the classic Command & Conquer RTS game (hence the overlay for fun). Here's the roster code for those who want to check it out (need the free app to view it though).

USR-RSTR-V001-0000-B7312329-914D-F111-8EF3-000D3AE0C075

That we'll be able to make our own custom RTS style armies is pretty neat IMHO.

TORMENTED

The Tormented are among the most horrifying beings of the Dusk Realm — former servants who failed the Dark One and were condemned to eternal suffering. They exist in constant agony, their tortured cries spreading fear across the battlefield. Maddened by pain and desperate for release, the Tormented charge blindly into enemy lines with savage fury, seeking slaughter in the hope that each kill might grant them a brief escape from their torment. Their presence is a grim reminder that in the Dusk Realm, death is not always a mercy.

Campaign Software

20 years ago, I started making "Campaigner", a map-based tabletop wargame campaign system (not tied to any game system). Not a spreadsheet of matches. Not a zone-based army matcher. A vector-based map, with LOS, Zones of Control, army listing, full-on turn-based campaign system.
It worked great, but I didn't really know how to market it, and I stopped.
I've come back to it, after finding it on one of my old drives and have become re-inspired. I was planning on porting it to a modern language (it was written in VB.NET), and I thought about making it C#. Then, I said, let's just make a new version.
And that's what I'm aiming to do. For the next 6 months, I plan on remaking the major elements of Campaigner as a new hosted project called Landstrike.
Here's an early, early proof of concept.
What I'm looking for is a few people who are interested in taking it for a spin. The scope is going to start off as small as possible (Campaigner was feature-rich with resources, objectives, rules, and more).

MANX-SKULL CHAMPION WITH NOBLE SHIELD BEARERS

​

Among the ancient customs of the Horned One Clan Legions, none is more sacred than the Rite of the Noble Shield. When a Manx-Skull Champion marches forth from his Ringhold, he does not tread the earth beside lesser warriors. Instead, he is borne aloft upon a great iron-bound shield carried by his most trusted officers — scarred Noble veterans whose loyalty has been proven through countless battles and rivers of blood. As the Legion gathers beneath roaring war horns and the thunderous clash of spear against shield, the Champion is raised above his warriors as the living embodiment of the Ringhold’s strength, pride, and unbreakable will. And when the campaign is done, the rite is repeated once more, for he shall return upon that same shield — either standing victorious above his enemies or laid upon it in death.
