Kuggköping models. Part1.

I am working on a lot of models and assets for Kuggköping at the moment. Very fun to scrape build these models :) .

Kuggköping terrain.

I made a house for Kuggköping :) . This was incredible fun to make. Glueing scraps together and slapping on some paint :) .

Farmageddon Alpha version 1F

Some exiting news! I have been working on a second game, which is called Farmageddon.

Farmageddon consists of two parts, the Dwelling and the Swelling.

The Dwelling is a pen and paper game where the player creates a dwelling, a Farmer, and beasts. The player collects harvest, evolve the beasts and try to survive the harsh landscape. Only 1 turn of the dwelling may be played each day.

The Swelling is a tabletop skirmish miniature game where the player enters the world outside of the dwelling with your Farmer and beasts to collect resources and fight the worlds other dwellers.

The alpha version of Farmaggedon is now available to download!

So, what does alpha version mean? This means that the game is still in development. Game mechanics and rules might be subject to changes (small and big). The game has a simple layout that allows for easy editing but lacks the refined feel of a completed game. All feedback will be considered and have a great chance to affect the final end result. The game is in a plastic state, and nothing is solidified yet. The only thing that is set is the overall concept and basic structure of the game.

I hope you will enjoy it! Any feedback is greatly appreciated and welcomed!

Kuggköping 28mm miniature.Part2

So, I managed to paint Lars and also build and paint 2 more models. They are not done yet but very close :) .

Kuggköping 28mm miniature.Part1

I felt is was time to create some Kuggköping miniatures. Starting with this fella. I shall call you, Mustache Lars.

I am quite happy with the result. My first attempt at scrap-building a 28mm miniature. Time for painting.

Infernus Abomination. Horus Heresy. Part2.

Here we go. The demon assassin is done. Have no idea what it does on the table top. But it was just something I had to get.

Infernus Abomination. Horus Heresy. Part1.

The dark gods gifted my Horus Heresy legions with a demon assassin. I preordered the model when it was first released but haven’t been able to painting it until now.

It just felt like something my Word Bearers would love to deploy against its enemies.

Iron Warriors. 2nd edition. Chaos Dreadnought

I have a upcoming 2nd edition game this week. Better paint up some “new” toys for the battle.

I love the old chaos dreadnought. I don’t think GW have created something like it since. Maybe some of the older resin dreads from FW can come close.

I which GW could make a game like 2nd edition again. It is such a fun system. Yes it is a little clumsy and chunky. But it has more charm and character than anything I’ve played so far…except for Turnip28. I would say that is a brother from another mother 🤣.

Iron Warriors. Sicaran Arcus. Part2.

Took me a while but now it’s finished :) .

Kuggköping version 4a

A new version of Kuggköping is up on my website (4a).

What’s new? I have added a table of content, so it is easier to find specific rules (why wasn’t this in before…don’t know 😊).

The game also has an injury list now, called the Hurt Log. If a character gets reduced to zero wounds in a campaign the player rolls on the Hurt Log to see what will happen to the character. I wanted the Hurt Log to be both positive and negative, it should be exiting to roll on the list but of course not too positive, so players chase death instead of the victory.

There is a couple of new campaign rules in the game in the spare part section.

Lootstrider, is giving the player the option to have moving Gizmos in the game. This is both a fun addition to have loot moving around and being unpredictable but also opening the possibility for some nice hobby modeling. Like balloon Gizmos or Treasure robots.   

Vagabond Machina, gives the option for the player to add roaming robots to the game either when setting up the game or when a player claims a gizmo. This is also a way to add some randomness to the game. These robots will treat both characters and enemy models as opponents so they will be somewhat unpredictable.

Hirelings, allows a player to create a simple warband and over the course over multiple missions collect resources. The resources may be used to buy items between missions to make the warband stronger over time. It basically removes the in-game leveling system and replaces it with a shop. The way you can customize the warband over time is very free and open. You can for example buy multiple modifications to a character or change faction as you please. This is perfect if a player wants to play and create more of a custom warband and faction.

Warband directive, adds an overarching victory condition to your linked campaigns. It felt like the linked campaigns was missing some sort of direction. Its fun to link campaigns together but it didn’t really have a point other than having your warband get stronger over time. I hope that this will give it more of a purpose. Maybe not the most innovative way of solving this issue but I think it will get the job done.     

Finally, the new additions to the game have not been extensively play tested yet. I will start doing this, this, and the next week. But I wanted to share the updates anyway, I am excited for most of the additions, and I am looking forward to trying them out. A lot of these additions comes from suggestions from the Kuggköping Discord server (https://discord.com/channels/1113114473503412346/1113114473943793745). I will absolutely try adding things to the game that players feel is missing or that players want to see. If anyone gets the chance to try the additions out, please let me know what you think of them, this will help me a lot. I am sure the new rules need to be balanced some more, so don’t expect them to be perfect as they are. But hopefully the concepts are fun and not completely broken.

Thank you for all input!

Farmageddon

So, behind the scenes I have been tinkering with a new game. It is based within the same universe as Kuggköping but it is a very different game in many aspects.

Farmageddon, as the game is called is a blend between a pen and paper game and a skirmish game. You take the roll as a farmer within the great corrosion and try to live off the land that…changed.

The game is not ready to be shared just yet, but I thought I could share some of the artwork.

Plan is to have some sort of Alpha or Beta version up on the blog after summer.

Iron Warriors. Sicaran Arcus. Part1.

Another repurposed tank slowly getting ready for the great 4th legion :) .

Iron Warriors. Predators. Old school predators.

I made a decision a week ago. I have had a World Eater’s army for many years. I have played it a couple of times in HH 1.0 and faced of against them in HH 2.0.

I love the lore of WE and my absolute favorite character in Horus Heresy is Kharn. Despite this I never seem to get the urge to play them.

When I first made the army I added a bunch of vehicles and I was pretty happy with how they turned out.

What have bothered me throughout the years is that I have a few cool tanks that never get fielded. It feels a little sad to see them just sitting there waiting to be used. So I made a decision, a decision to repaint them and fold them into my Iron Warriors.

First out is the predators. I really love the old old sculpts. They are so iconic, I wouldn’t say they look beautiful but weirdly cool. This pumps up my IWs predator pool to 6 strong. I will continue cannibalising the WE tanks and add them to my first love. In the end I will be fielding a nice and fat Armored Breakthrough list. Looking forward to it 😁.

Kuggköping rulebooks

Happy Friday! I got some fun news during the day. I sent the rulebook to a printing company and received the 10 test copies today 😊. So cool to see it in physical print.

Some layout changes might be needed but nothing major. I am happy 😃 . Now my future grandchildren have their heritage secured 🤣.

Kuggköping. Discord.

Great news everyone! Kuggköping now has a Discord server. Join it and tell your friends!

https://discord.gg/4mKJ5Mkh

Also! Kuggköping is now featured on 28-mags website :D . I am super happy about this. If you don’t know about 28-mag then it is time for you to dive into their incredible work. It is a digital magazine featuring all things 28mm miniatures …preferably on the dark and the grime spectrum of the hobby.

https://28-mag.com/games/

In their game section you will find a number of indie games to try out for free.

Turnip28. Toadies. Part3.

The three Toadies are done. I like the way they came out. Now I have all I need for my Leech Lovers.

The loving couple is blessed by the priesthood and the holy scrotum 🤣.

Kuggköping official version (1a)!

Today is a big day for me. Kuggköping have gone from a Beta version to an “official” version. What dose all this mean? For me it means that the game design and layout steps is more or less finished and that is something I am very proud of. It has taken me three years to come to this point, starting from an idea and now I am almost at point where the game can be printed into a physical copy.

Kuggköping is a one-person work, and my biggest hopes is that the game can inspire others to be creative. You don’t need to be a company or be born with extraordinary skills to create something that you can enjoy. All you need is passion and patience.

If you want to try a “solo”-skirmish game for 1-2 players, with low model count and a lot of narrative, then I urge you to give Kuggköping a try.

Kuggköping can be played on a grid space gameboard or on an open game board using inches instead of spaces. Welcome to the whimsical world of Kuggköping, where a city appeared out of nowhere and ushered in a new age of steam machines, Gizmos and corruption.

Turnip28. Toadies. Part2.

Some more work have been done on the wired trio :) . Just going to let them dry and then it is time for some oils.

Turnip28. Toadies. Part1.

I decided that my leech lovers needed a following. It is a wedding after all.
