What it is about
Welcome to Scrap Hounds, a solo Mech skirmish game of gritty survival set on a post - apocalyptic future world of your choice. Scrap Hounds is a miniature agnostic skirmish game for one player (or two if they want to share their models) that features the following aspects: low model count, flexible setting, thrilling combat, and resource acquisition / management. The game features our Rugged 3D6 mechanics, and you can use almost any fantasy or sci -fi miniatures in Scrap Hounds, and the rules will work in scales ranging from 6mm all the way up to 28mm. The game was play-tested using mostly 10mm and 15mm figures, but player preferences will vary. The rules work best on a 2’ x 2’ (60cm x 60cm) board or play mat, but players using 28mm figures might want to expand to 3’ x 3’ (90cm x 90cm).
Sample foes and unit creation rules allow your scrap crew (with one Mech in the lead) to battle rovers, rogue Mechs and vehicles, and even Kaiju! The Build rules let you create your force based on the models you have in your collection. Build up your Scrap Hound crew and earn enough creds to buy your way off planet and start a new life!
