MINIATURE SKIRMISH GAMES

At Rarupus, we believe epic tabletop moments don't require hundreds of miniatures!
Our miniature skirmish games focus on high-stakes, fast-paced tactical combat where every single model matters. Whether you are a veteran of miniature wargaming looking for a fresh challenge or a newcomer rolling dice for the first time, our indie skirmish games deliver deep strategy without the massive time commitment.

Why choose low model count skirmish?

Building and painting a massive army can take months. Our low model count skirmish systems are designed to get you to the table faster.

  • Less Painting, More Playing: With fewer miniatures required, you can get them painted and ready for the battlefield in a easily.

  • Intense Tactical Choices: When you only have a handful of fighters, every move, shot, and tactical retreat counts. There is no hiding behind massive infantry blocks.

  • Affordable Entry Point: Smaller warbands mean a lower barrier to entry. Grab a few of your favorite miniatures and you are ready to play.

What to expect from Rarupus rulesets?

We pride ourselves on creating dynamic warband games that reward clever positioning and narrative storytelling. When you pick up our books, you can expect:

  • Streamlined Tabletop Skirmish Rules: Mechanics that are easy to learn, quick to resolve, and incredibly difficult to master.

  • Deep Customization: Build a unique crew of elite fighters, rugged scavengers, or cunning mercenaries. Equip them with specialized gear and watch them evolve.

  • Narrative Campaigns: Take your warband on a journey. Our systems support ongoing campaigns where your fighters gain experience, learn new skills, and suffer lasting injuries between battles.
