Rubio Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 So I picked up some Reaper Minis at my FLGS and rather liked the look of the ones in the Warlord section of the rack. Doing some research, it looks like a fairly fast-playing alternative to 40k. But I'm more of a sci-fi guy. Is there a science fiction flavor of the Warlord rules aside of CAV (which looks to be big epic-scale mech battles)? Barring that, are there Warlord stats for any of the Chronoscope minis? Or a generator to make one's own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were some R.A.G.E. rules developed for Reich of the Dead, and a Cowboy game, that more heavily favored ranged combat, which might be better suited for SF. That being said, you can simply take the Warlord data cards, and try to find ones that fit what you want to do. Reaper Games has a very flexible data card search engine.

Nuadha Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 The RAGE system is very flexible for adapting to new settings. The only issue is point values but if wanted to come up with your own Chronoscope based game but everything other than point values would be easy to come up with. You may want to come up with some new special abilities to represent new figure powers. I'd probably make up my own stats then guess what existing Warlord figures are closest to the fig in power/ability and use that point value.

Rubio Posted July 20, 2015 Author Share Posted July 20, 2015 Which of the rulesets would make the best starting point? Cav seems to be all about massive 6mm scale vehicular battle (and makes me a bit sad that I ditched all my epic 40k stuff awhile ago) while Warlord itself is fantasy-based. The cowboys sets seems to be limited to a single page. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vil-hatarn Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Minus the electronics components, CAV might transfer decently to 28 mm skirmish scale. The hard/soft target distinction would be useful, I think, and the various weapon special abilities could be repurposed fairly successfully. Also, and maybe most importantly, there's no public card builder for Warlord, whereas CAV:SO has construction rules and I've recreated the CAV 2 formulas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaper User CAVBOSS Posted July 21, 2015 Reaper User Share Posted July 21, 2015 For whats it worth, we are working on a port over of the cav:so rules for use with 28-32 mm figs. I hope to have a beta up by the end of the year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always searching for miniature rule alternatives. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
