    What is the point of the one page rules? I just looked at the web site and it is a set of modified rules that does not cover anywhere near the range in the rule book. For example my Eldar army is not covered by them for weapons or vehicles. Further, if a new starter was to read and apply the rules I saw they would not be learning 40K correctly. This would disillusion them the minute they met a gamer who used the standard rules and did not recognise your tweaks and amendments.

    Your one page rules appear to be written for people who are familiar with the concepts of 40K which makes them easier to relate to but not if you are new to the whole concept. I also think anyone who saw that block of text crammed onto the page in such a small font would baulk. Just compare the starter kit rule sets to see the easy presentation style that is designed to make it easy to read as much as produce a simple introduction.

    And finally, the look I just had suggests you are changing the game to the way you want it played. Not a problem in itself but again, you would be misleading a new starter who would not have the knowledge to determine if that is what he/she has spent his/her money for. My recommendation new people is go with the starter kits and leave your production to those who know the game and wish to try something different. But beware you are skirting the bounds of plagiarism.

    Hello everyone,

    We are proud to announce the release of our newest game: Army Men Combat!

    Army Men Combat is the second in a series of system-agnostic games that we have been releasing (the first being Hammer Wars), which are basically games designed to be played with any miniatures you have, regardless of manufacturer.

    Today’s game is a throwback to 1st edition 1p40k and its mechanics. The game is fast and fun, and as always fits on a single page. Whilst when this idea first popped in my head i thought of it as a game played with green army men, this system works well with almost any miniatures, from ww2 to modern to sci-fi and more!

    The whole team at OPR wishes you happy holidays, and we’ll be back early next year with some exciting new releases!

    This latest release features lots of little tweaks to the rules and layout, making the game even more compact, balanced and fun.

    Have you been enjoying the new version of 1p40k?

    Well here is a new version of 1pKT! This new version of the game was streamlined to be even faster and more exciting than before, without some of the clumsy mechanics that the old one used to have.

    Kill Team is perfect if you have a handful of miniatures on your hand and you want to just have a quick and fun game, or introduce new players to the hobby. Check it out!

    Hi Everyone,

    Today we are posting a new update for Army Men Combat, which adds a lot of unit variety and flyer rules. We have also cleaned up the core rules and introduced a new activation system, which should make things even more fun!

    Army Men Combat can be used as an alternative to the GW rules to play fast and simple games using your 40k miniatures. This update introduces flyer rules for the first time in one of our system, and should serve as a sneak preview of how we are intending to handle flyers in 1p40k sometime in the future.

    Hello everyone,

    First off, it seems that between all the recent stuff that has been going on we have missed a few of the new units that have been released with the end times. We have gone through the releases and are now adding 4 new units to 1pFB/FS.

    Next up, we now have an official Roll20 campaign which you can use to play with your friends and the OPR team, or to challenge a fellow one-page-fan to a match!

    Roll20 is a virtual tabletop which you can use to play tabletop games online through your browser. It doesn’t require you to download or install anything, and it is completely free to use. We use it all the time to test new games or just have some fun, and it is a simple system you can pick up after playing one or two games.

    Happy Wargaming!

    Hi guys,

    Today we are excited to bring you a new army and a ton of new units for 1p40k. We noticed we had been missing some of the newer releases, so this update makes up for it and then some. The biggest addition is the new Harlequins as a standalone faction, but there are also some new units for the Tyranids and updates to some of the already existing units.
