Rules look fluid enough that you can convert to other genres Spellcasters and psionicists, with these rules, would only have one special ability each, though I've seen similar in other miniature games.

Between scenarios, you have an event.

Was turned off by the idea of kitbashing, but the rules don't enforce WYSIWYG any more than any other miniatures game.

Time to dig out that copy of the Doom boardgame...!

How meta

I played 4 more games last week, with 3 new Horrors, still very smooth. So far we've curbstomped the Devourer, Crusade Engine, Mystic Court and Sin Echo. We've only been doing "matched play", must try campaign soon.

Converted a few Warcry factions to Doomed as proof of concept, it's a breeze and it can't be more imba than the original.

To give an idea of what I currently thing of The Doomed ... I'll be demoing it at a local micro con tonight

EDIT: Great success, very easy for casuals (most folks came from an RPG background) to pick up.

My tables, Horror and gangs



More gangs were provided by a friend who was working with me.

Very nice setup, both terrain and models! Where are the models in the third picture (the squamous, protoplasmic horrors) from?

Cheers. They're from the board game Deep Madness.

I really like those giant teeth

I hate that teeth terrain! But seriously, looks like an awesome setup. I'm jealous to see someone putting so much work into demoing games.

Thanks! It's the venue. There's a club of mostly teens and uni aged kids that meet weekly for hobby workshops, mostly painting RPG minis. Everything is free from the place to minis to paints to food and drink. Averages over 50 people per night. It's the place I wish I had when I was an outcast nerdy kid 20-30 years ago. So when they have larger, themed events, I try to bring an appropriate wargame (this was Lovecraft night) to broaden their hobby horizons from just RPGs and board games.

Well now I'm even more jealous!

Something new incoming https://www.ospreypublishing.com/uk/when-nightmares-come-9781472860040/

Looks promising!

> They're from the board game Deep Madness.

Those look *way* better than my impression of the DM figures!
Bah. I still need to paint the rest of my Cthuhlu Wars figures.

fwiw, Archon's going to have a Caves KS early March. They have two cave themes that would match The Doomed?
These are the prepainted options. More on this Dakka thread: https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/1320/797368.page

''Next year from Joseph A. McCullough – HAIRFOOT JOUSTING...

A fast-paced miniatures game of whimsical fantasy jousting. Grab a lance, jump on your mount, and get ready to joust!

While the Hairfoot halflings typically prefer eating and drinking to strenuous exercise, one thing that is sure to stir them from their armchairs is the noble sport of Hairfoot Jousting. Small teams take to the field on the backs of various unruly mounts – pigs, turkeys, sheep, and more – to tilt against their rivals, striving to knock them to the ground with their blunt lances. For the victors: fame, glory, and perhaps a new pair of gardening gloves. For the defeated team… well, everyone loves an underdog, so they’ll have more fans cheering them on next time!

Hairfoot Jousting is a quick and simple tabletop miniatures game in which players seek to lead their teams of three to victory in tournaments or over the course of a season. Play on some of the most famous pitches to grace the sport, such as Baker’s Run, The Puddles, and Barrel Bottom, each with their own special challenges. Point your jousters in the direction of their opponents and hope their mounts don’t have their own ideas! In Hairfoot Jousting, sportsmanship and a sense of humour are as valuable as skill or luck – after all, it’s joust a bit of fun.

MORE INFO COMING SOON.''

If I had a nickel every time someone turned GW's Full Tilt into a halfling jousting game I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.
