Introduction Index

Hello, and welcome to WarStuff! 1. Cover

2. Introduction & Index
WarStuff is a single-page ruleset designed to be played with 3. Rules
any miniatures or toys that you have at hand. 4. Quickplay Units

The rules were written with conventions and pick-up games

in mind, where players often have miniatures from very
different ranges and usually can’t play with each other.

On the main rules page you will find everything you need to
build your custom units, and we have provided a variety of
units from different ranges so that you can get into the
game even faster!

Whilst these rules were made with 28mm models in mind,

you can use them to play with 15mm models by reducing all
measurements to half their size. You can also use groups of
models to represent a single unit, allowing you to play huge
battles in a very short time!

You can find various supplements to this ruleset and other

one page rules at [Link]. You can
find more awesome art at [Link],
