Hey everyone,

With the release of DnD 5.0, Wizards of the Coast has really simplified the system to the point that I think that it can be adapted for the mini wargaming community.

I'm not exactly sure how much Wizards watches their IP (though I doubt they will be watching a wargaming site). so, here I'll just outline some general principles and some issues with warhammer's system that D20 fixes.

  • The system uses seven different sided dice, d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, d20, d100.

  • There is no player turn. Models take their actions in initiative order, turns are counted when initiative returns to the model.

  • Models have a move action, a action, some models may be granted a situational bonus action.

  • A model has 8 characteristics.

  • An action may be used to attack, take a second move action, change or reload a weapon, cast a spell, throw another model, etc.

  • Different weapons deal different amounts and types of damage.

  • You can fired into close combat but there is the risk of hitting your own models.


Love to hear what everyone thinks and answer any questions.
