These are incredible - I honestly thought they (this and your previous post) were tilt-shifted photos of a real place until i looked closely.

Great job.

First time around, I thought the BL meant “Boy Love” and not “Black Library”, and surprisingly it reads much the same.

Exactly this!

I mentioned One Page Rules in particular because it’s the one that I still play.

The buy-in is zero - you get the core rules for free. They are clean, easy to remember, and fast to play with.

OPR : Grimdark Future is the 40k equivalent OPR : Grimdark Future Firefight is a smaller scale skirmish based version. I like Firefight best personally - you can play with just a handful of figures per team.

An additional aspect is that it is miniature agnostic. Most of the teams are “legally distinct” spins on the 40k factions, with each troop type having an equivalent, but you can use any miniatures you have (regardless of who makes them) totally legitimately.

They have a free army building web app called Army Forge. You can spin up a couple of armies based on the models you have already, print off the rules, and have a quick game straight away :)

Edit: I just visited their homepage and thought I should clarify something. When they say “receive 50 minis a month”, they are talking about files for 3d printing these miniatures, not actual physical figures in the mail!

I’m an oldie who got into 40k way back in the early 90s with the Rogue Trader stuff.

In my honest opinion, I love the minis (they look glorious), but I would not recommend the current game to anyone. It’s far too expensive and just not that fun.

There are better games out there that you can play using 40k minis. One Page Rules : Grimdark Future is one such example.
