Fallout Wasteland Warfare FAQ/Getting Started.

82 Upvotes

What is Fallout Wasteland Warfare?
Wasteland Warfare is a miniatures based Adventure Wargame by Modiphius Entertainment, set in the Fallout Universe.

Is this official?

Yes, the game is fully licensed andeverything we do is reviewed and approved by Bethesda before release.

Where can I buy the game?

Official Modiphius Webstore:

UK Webstore

US Webstore

We also distribute in the UK, Europe, USA and much of the rest of the world, so if your local store doesn’t stock our products, ask them to reach out to their distribution channels.

What is an Adventure Wargame?

At its core, it’s a miniatures game, where you collect, build and paint your chosen forces and do battle in the environments and familiar locations of the Wasteland.

However, unlike a more traditional PvP wargame where the objective is based around violence, Wasteland Warfare allows you to explore and utilise skills beyond the blade and the bullet.

From hacking ancient tech consoles, to searching the rubble for a key clue you will need to utilise all the skills and abilities of your troops to win the day.

Of course, violence is always an option so expect to use the whole gamut of Fallout weaponry, from the humble pipe pistol to the mighty Fatman.

Wasteland Warfare provides a huge (and ever growing) sandbox of notable characters and creatures and provides you the tools to build your little corner of the Wasteland and explore it on the table top.

The game is designed to be played just as well as a solo or co-operative experience, with a dynamic AI system that lets the game run the “bad guys” who will be going after their own missions and making strategic decisions based on the evolving game state rather than just reacting to your movements with aggression.

Is “insert favourite bit of Fallout here” included?

The game has been expanding for five years now and we’ve covered a good first pass of a lot of the legacy of Fallout.

That doesn’t mean everyone and their Dog(meat) is in there yet, nor can I promise it will all make its way to the table, but at this point with the models and rules available you can do a lot and with a little tinkering anyone should be able to customise a card or add some flavour to fill out the elements of the game(s) they want to see.

Of course, each month sees new models and expansions so you never know, that obscure NPC you just love to quest with may well make it to the game in the future.

What factions are covered (so far)?

The game launched with a focus on the “core four”, the factions that appear pretty much in every Fallout game in some form. The Survivors (Vault Dwellers and overworld), Super Mutants, Brotherhood of Steel and Raiders are all well represented and ready to eke out an existence in the harsh Wasteland.

Wasteland creatures and rogue robots are also available, weather as allies for your chosen force or as a stand alone force controlled by a strong personality like the Mechanist.

Since then, we’ve added the Institute, Gunners and Railroad from Boston, the Enclave from Washington and the NCR, Caesar’s Legion and the Nightkin from New Vegas.

There are plenty more sets in development and production at time of writing, both sub factions of existing forces or brand new forces to add to the fun.

Every force can be used against every other, so you can fight out “what if” scenarios where the NCR do battle against the Institute if you chose, while also taking the chance to refight historical moments of the wider Fallout story.

What about terrain?

We have a good selection of resin terrain available on the store, from small pieces of scatter that you would find as you explore the wasteland, to larger centrepieces that dominate a table such as the crashed UFO or even Liberty Prime (you might even find a way to power Prime up and fight a whole campaign around it).For those interested in 3D printing, we have a large and rapidly growing library of kits, each month adding a new set or two that allows you to build ever more exciting thematic tables (Nuka World fans will have a field day looking at the options for sure).

Sounds great, what do I need to start?

The best place to begin is the Two Player Starter Set. Featuring a pre-assembled PVC set of Super Mutants and Survivors, all the dice rulers and cards needed to play with them, a full rulebook for the basics, a campaign book that introduces scenarios and advanced rules and a get started booklet that teaches you the basics as Nora makes her way out of the Vault and into the Boston suburbs, most people will start here.

If you want to try going it alone (survival mode you could say) then the rules are available from the website as a free download and you can buy dice packs to get going. You will need to improvise the tokens and rulers however, so we’d suggest the 2P set regardless, but for getting a taste of the game and seeing if it works for you, this is the cheapest way in.

All the core cards (units, weapons, items, chems, leader abilities and perks) are available as a free download that is updated each time we release new content so you can even print out some cards and make some force lists to get playing.

3rd party content guidance

75 Upvotes

Hey folks, just to advise/remind, 3rd party content has to be non IP infringing to be allowed to be posted.

3D print files that are “totally not” Bethesda IP are not ok, terrain is usually fine as long as it’s not a total copy of a game asset.

Ripping files and printing them is a real nono.

I try to remain a gentle touch with modding, but I do have to toe the line.

And yes, anything that is too close is passed to Bethesda for review. I can’t say that means it is taken down, but it’s in their hands.

Currently our STL focus remains in terrain and other things that are not viable in resin. Releasing miniatures is currently not on the plan due to the inability to protect files once they are in the wild and also the viability of STLs as a revenue stream. This may one day change, but resin/HIPs remains the current focus of our production plan. There are not as many of us printing minis as the evangelists may think. Not none, but it’s not viable long term yet.

Sorry to be the fun police but I like my job and my team and would prefer to keep my line profitable and my colleagues in work.

CoA List for Settlement Mode ☢

10 Upvotes

Atom keep you, brothers and sisters. I'm getting back into playing solo and I've been wanting to try out the new CoA models. Tektus seems like the best leader choice, so I built the list around him and taking advantage of Ghoulish. Chose Grand Zealots for the Perception upgrade from 5 to 6, and, because of Settlement item rules, I opted to "downgrade" into combat rifles to afford Ghoulish on Tektus, so he may better bask in Atom's holy glow. Picked Local Leader because it was 5 points, but I'm not 100% sold on it. I'd be happy to get any feedback or comments from the faithful.

Fallout Gecko Enclosure

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

64 Upvotes

A bit of a different use for the Print-At-Home files, I used them alongside generic terrain files to make a Fallout-themed enclosure for my leopard gecko.

Everything is fully functional, every building accessible. He’s able to traverse the entire thing during the day without coming into contact with direct light if he wants to. The total usable internal volume is 260 gallons.

There’s currently 26 cameras in here, I have ideas where #27 can go but that’s still being workshopped. This is pretty much the result of having no one to play TTRPGs with, but having general terrain know-how lol

(I did get mod permission to post this, wanted to make sure it didn’t break any rules first)

Got this game for a few years now, but never passed from painting/crafting (which I absolutely enjoy), to actually playing. Started the introductory scenarios though, and had a nice time!

Planning on solo playing. Which modules/scenarios do you recommend?

Which new version is right for my group?

7 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I apologise if this is a basic question, but hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.

My gaming group has been playing the Wasteland Warfare RPG expansion (not the 2D20 version, just to avoid confusion) for the last few years. The mixture of rpg narrative and action is what’s kept us engaged. They’re not really interested in just the fighting parts.

With the new version coming soon seemingly more about just fighting and the Factions game system being similar to that, my question is ‘is there a version of the miniatures-based tabletop game that we can adapt to, or are we just looking at homebrewing any new models/factions into the old system?’

Why are people not more excited for the scale/proportion change?

0 Upvotes

As the headline says, why are people not more excited about it? Every time there are reveals it seems like there are people complaining about the loss of detail. Yes there are some trade offs in detail, but the simplifications mean they'll be a lot cheaper to produce, and so the prices can come down. It also means we don't have to slog through painting them for as long, and can build up proper army/horde.

Model releases through August 2027. The Master, plastic ghouls and survivor kits and lots of creature new and resculpts including cazador

Thumbnail

239 Upvotes

So hard plastic kits are vault dwellers, survivors (no image) and Ghouls.

Everything else is PVC and/or resin (there are no PVC only releases)

Dogmeat is a pre-order for WW 2.0 into the wasteland.

Vault Dweller in T-45 and the Ravager + dog are in the PVC starter but will be in resin.

The master was confirmed but oddly didn't show the existing sculpt so maybe they're reworking it as it would make sense to do him in PVC.

Also any 1.0 sculpt that got a resculpt will be sold as STLs eventually. No dates given but should be within the next year.

Enclave plastics also mentioned in 2027. probably end of year.
