New 10mm warband created for my in-progress skirmi

New 10mm warband created for my in-progress skirmish project Dekatropik. Mostly 40x40mm bases.

Going for a quick-and-dirty ghostly effect for these guys like Age of Sigmar Nighthaunt and MESBG Army of the Dead.

2pts Hands of the Dead (Skirmishers)

3pts The God-Hand (Heavy - Colossal)

1pt Netherrealm Tendrils (Sigil - Control)

This is a pretty straightforward warband, tactically: screen with the skirmishers and sigil while you march the fighters and heavy up.

I'll be sharing a pre-alpha look at the rules soon along with launching a Facebook group (Discord is not my vibe).

If you're interested in a miniatures agnostic, rules light, fantasy skirmish game, sign up for the playtest here:

Oh yeah, this should be a pretty fun warband as I playtest Dekatropik more over the holidays. Will also include two bases of ghosts from Forest Dragon that will arrive this week.

(If you're interested in a future playtest of this 10mm scale skirmish game I'm working on, check the sign up link in my bio.)

Slowly taking an hour here, an hour there this holiday, to work through the 10mm skirmish terrain backlog.

Now the always nervous step of seeing if the gloss medium on these tar pits dries clear!

The fun part about miniature agnostic rules is that, even in 10mm, you can put some pretty wild and unexpected ideas together.

A warband of ghostly hands? This might be fun. Definitely weird.

Lunchtime wargaming terrain painting. Definitely in progress, but hey - it's not all primer, so it counts. Will see how much more progress I can make on this 10mm scale terrain before the holiday break begins in earnest tonight.

Big and outsized and fantastically epic for my sword and sorcery inspired 10mm skirmish project, Dekatropik.

Trying my damnedest to fit my new minimalist fanta

Trying my damnedest to fit my new minimalist fantasy TTRPG rules into a tri-fold pamphlet format.

Here's the current state of how that's looking. Lots of design, layout, and typography to tweak.

What I tentatively like about the tri fold format is you can keep most character info tidily compact on two folds and include (very minimalist) player facing rules on the opened interior of the pamphlet.

Not D&D / Dungeons and Dragons, but old school renaissance / OSR inspired. It's a minimalist ruleset, because hey - that's about all I can manage to track these days! Guess it counts as an RPG zine, too, so I may prep this project for Zinequest next year.

First playtest run of my very minimalist fantasy TTRPG, title TBD. Basic ideas seem to work well and my very out-there setting* didn't have my players hitting the eject button. We'll see where this goes!

*Realm of death populated by the undead and various critterfolk archetypal of death: vultures, crows, flies. Set in a narrow world set between impossibly high cliffs on one side and bottomless chasm of oblivion on the other. More to share and unpack there.

Might become a combined rules + setting project. Maybe.

Complexity the same levels as games like Cairn, Trophy, Into the Odd, etc.
