This is the last post for a while. Will be likely working on Genestealer Cult rules next (the bad guys in my Void Borg game), and then will be open to where the spirit moves me. If you have a crew you’d like to see, let me know!
This Void Born project as a culmination of two major thoughts:
How do I keep a gaming group with busy lives playing without having to chase new rules. And without having to buy and model their minis to match those rules. Flexibility and simplicity was key. I know there are other INQ28 and skirmish rulesets I could have used, but I also wanted control of the rules so I could tweak them to continue fitting our needs. The zine format (which I will share soon) spawned from this mindset as well.
Other Dangerous Aliens: This image lived rent free in my brain when I was around 12. As I got back into Warhammer in adulthood, it came up again as I was reading about Xenos species. I remembered the odd, mysterious character of these xenos species, and I wanted to capture that in Void Born as the rules came together. What if there was an outpost on the edge of an Imperial sector where these creature may be less unusual than they are in a normal game of 40k? What if we could kitbash our entire crew? Luckily some of these have real releases from Games Workshop at this point, but its still fun to wonder what else might be out there in the Galaxy…
