Salvation and Steel Fantasy Skirmish Rules

Salvation and Steel is a set of free wargames rules for fantasy skirmishes. The author writes:

Salvation and Steel is a turn-based fantasy skirmish game designed to be played with 28mm miniatures on a 3′ x 3′ board with around 8 to 14 models per side. All materials needed to play Salvation and Steel, including the rules, are FREE or can easily be proxied.

The basic rules for Salvation and Steel aim to keep things relatively simple, and they’ve been written with a big focus on balancing the complexity of unit stats (attributes) and rules, in order to make things tactical and competitive without the players having to rules-check more than play during a game.

Simply put, the basic rules were not only written for new players, but also for younger players wanting to get into miniatures games and do something rather than read about it for longer than 5-10 minutes.

The advanced rules are, for the most part, an expansion rather than a replacement of the basic rules.

0-1 Hardware

A heaven, a hell, a purgatory populated by angels, demons and wandering souls. The figures can be of any brand (as long as the scale is respected), your monsters can serve as demons (and yes tyranids often populate the nightmares of marine spaces) and any humanoid figure can serve as soul. Some Orcs believe in god, well that’s what is said in some club like the Crazy Orc. For the angels

0-2 Goal of the game

The purpose of this merciless struggle is to harvest souls either for heaven or for hell. With three players, humanity tries to reincarnate in order to return to earth.

Heroscape Blank Card Maker

One of the joys of Heroscape is that you can use literally any 25mm / 28mm figures. You just have to make up cards for them. This has led to efforts by a large number of people to duplicate the look of Milton Bradley’s double hex unit cards. Here’s one such effort. Its a .tif file in layers that you import into your favorite graphics editor. Be warned, though. It’s a big file at 13.4 megs.
