Miniature Agnostic Games You Should Try

[@forcryingoutloud71]

I don't think Necropolis28 and Turnip28 have any relation to each other (other than both being 28mm games with 28 in their names). They appear to be written by difference people. Apologies if I'm incorrect.

[@Wargamerofalltrades]

You are correct, that is a fault on my end, when doing research wires where crossed. I'll pin this comment as reference, and I did at least include the correct links

[@MiniWarMutt]

Psst.. Wiley Games Fistful of Lead. Great video. Subbed!

[@Wargamerofalltrades]

Fistful of Lead is a fantastic game I hope to cover more in the future, life is crazy and I finally can get more videos out!

[@MaceLupo]

And Sword Weirdos is the gem I found here. Thanks for that.

[@ryanglessner8626]

Great list! There were a couple I have never seen before. A coule others you may want to check out are A Song of Blades and Heroes. It has an interesting game mechanic. And Star Breach. It uses an initiative system like Bolt Action and it has faction lists where you can take Jedi against Space Marines.

[@Wargamerofalltrades]

Thanks for the recommendation! Star Breach sounds super interesting

[@mcmurray7355]

Great video! I’d toss Fistful of Lead into the mix! It’s fantastic and open enough to use essentially any miniatures!

[@Wargamerofalltrades]

I'll look into it for sure!

[@PatGilliland]

Fistful series is great.

[@ianstubbington2334]

Great video with a lot of interesting info. You missed a couple that I would recommend. 5 Leagues from the borderland, and 5 Parsecs from home. Very cool skirmish games with campaign / RPG twist to them.

[@Wargamerofalltrades]

I have actually covered these gamws before, but Categorizing these are hard and I may need to change my method of if I've previously covered them to not mention again in the future.

[@SootyWebster]

5 parsecs is one of the only games that made me want to tackle my pile of shame, to get new minis on the table every time I played.

[@LucaLacchini]

Lion Rampant and Dragon Rampant are absolutely awesome to play. Everything Snarling Badger is good fun, and the recent Deth Wizards is a great "play as the bad guys" romp. OPR wins every challenge against the bigger corp titles, excluding Warcry. BTW, I also recommend Sludge Wargame, which has a kitbash potential close to Turnip28 and works very well as a larger scale type of game.

[@Wargamerofalltrades]

Thanks for the recommendation I'll add it to my list!

[@andersand6576]

Only tried Xenos Rampant, and do love it. Any reason to get the books for the other games?

[@LucaLacchini]

@@andersand6576 Lion Rampant (2nd ed) is the OG ruleset, and has a expansive coverage of historical wargaming from the bronze age up to the early Renaissance. Give it a try if you're interested in the stuff, and it'll be easier as you already know the basics from XR.. Dragon Rampant is a self contained version of the rules to include fantasy elements such as big creatures, unit of monstruous humanoids, spellcasters, etc.

[@andersand6576]

@@LucaLacchini Thanks. Might read the book before buying it.

[@Tremezy]

I am so hyped that you mentioned Deth Wizards and Verrotwood, thank you! Really love them, and making my little zomboid leader and some warbands for verrotwood and trench crusade. I'll definitely check out some of the other games, like necropolis28 You're doing Lords work, thank you

[@snarlakk]

This is a great video - really useful information!!

[@Wargamerofalltrades]

Glad it was helpful!

[@xZombi3x5layerx]

The Doomed: Apocalyptic Horror Hunting is also a great one that's hardly ever brought up.

[@Wargamerofalltrades]

I'll add it to my list to check out!

[@kenfisher4860]

A couple of my favorites are De Bellus Antiquitatus (DBA) for historical and Hordes of the Things (HOtT) for fantasy and sci-fi. Definitely not everyone’s taste but miniature and scale agnostic, small foot print and quick play.

[@PatGilliland]

I had a whole set of top down flat armies for DBA and HOtT we used to play while camping.

[@kenfisher4860]

@@PatGilliland awesome! Through the years I’ve done everything from topdown to 28mm.

[@RichardJRussell]

Just to clarify: Space Station Zero isn't a dungeon crawl 'through space'; it takes place entirely on the titular station.

[@joshbell6568]

Idk I guess it depend on your view. I would call it a rogue lite(not roguelike) space dungeon crawl as it as “leveling”, gear upgrades, and a branching path.

[@Michael-og7js]

​@@joshbell6568 you misunderstood ops point

[@ImreRides]

The "Weirdos" games are absolutely fantastic! And I'm happy to see Brutality on this list. I think an often overlooked gem. It's a really solid game that sings once you get it to the table!

[@billcedarheath387]

Here is the reality as I see it. Every game is miniatures agnostic. Even Warhammer can be miniatures agnostic. All you need are the game rules and the willingness to use miniatures from whatever source you choose to use.

[@Wargamerofalltrades]

Your not wrong at all!

[@TomMurrath]

Necropolis 28 seems like something I need to check out

[@andersand6576]

Great list, with a few I did not know and will check out. Can recoment guilders a life in shadows my self for the mordheim players (can be a bit hard to find without the full name)

[@Wargamerofalltrades]

Thanks for the recommendation!

[@franciscopina2899]

A great minis agnostic game that went unmentioned here is Frostgrave, by Joseph McCullough (same author of Oathmatk), it's basically a spiritual sequel of Mordheim, but with wizards as main characters and a frozen city as its setting.

[@Wargamerofalltrades]

The main reason is frostgrave has gotten repeated shootouts in my skirmish games video, so I chose a different one of his works for this one

[@Ironfrenzy217]

The Weirdos games are fantastic.

[@Wargamerofalltrades]

They are amazing for sure!

[@artistpoet5253]

I like games rules you can keep in your head and that don't use a ton of status tokens. Nothing likea a mini with a trail of tokens behind it to throw immersion. However, it's fun to play something a bit more granular now and then too. One game I'd like to mention here that's MAG and what I would call a semi-lite rule set is Five Parsecs From Home. It has the added value of being a solo game though it's pretty easy to set up a multiplayer game and campaign.

[@TheAbraxasvirus]

Maybe Studio tomahawks, got Saga and Muskets and Tomhawks

[@redviego6714]

Good content and straight to the point! Just the way that I love it!

[@Wargamerofalltrades]

Glad you enjoyed it!

I'm working on my turnip28 army right now.

[@Wargamerofalltrades]

Nice! It's on my list to start once I hit the right inspiration

[@dagdamar2000]

Ironically I picked up sword weirdo's this week. have not had a chance to read the rules yet.

[@Wargamerofalltrades]

They are really solid, well worth the time to play!

[@shocknawe]

Are there rules for Space Station Zero to make it better and more like Deth Wizards?

[@Wargamerofalltrades]

I don't believe so

[@shocknawe]

@@Wargamerofalltradesany idea where I’d find those?

[@UglyDogProductionsCo]

Brutality Skirmish Wargame all the way! Thank you for including it!

Warhammer fantasy battle 2nd edition = agnostic
