Doomdivers! Free Helldivers Wargaming Rules For Battling Bugs & Bots On Tabletops #OTTWeekender
April 26, 2024 by avernos
It's OTTWeekender time! Are you a fan of the video game series Helldivers? Make sure to check out the entirely free fan rules from Grimskald that have caught our eye called Doomdivers! These rules allow you to play out your Helldivers battles with Sci-Fi miniatures on the tabletop.
Talking of miniatures, we also look at some great miniatures that you can pick up from the likes of SkullForge Studios which would be perfect for those wanting to play as Helldivers and blast some bugs and bots on the tabletop. Have some fun this weekend and get your Helldivers group to the tabletop to play Doomdivers instead!

Don’t forget the French were the starting Nam meat grinders army.
Justin isn’t crazy — Elvis was drafted and stationed in West Germany in the late ’50s. I don’t think he ever saw combat. But “Elvis in the Jungle War” sounds like it was made for 7TV…
did say he was crazy, I knew he served and in my head it was closer to WWII than to Vietnam
We’re Doooooommed!
We all miss award wining Moonstone some of us just do not know it yet, so what is new.
Elvis was sent to West Germany
Hi Guys great show the Helldivers cool
hi guys great show as normal and can’t believe someone come up with Helldivers
Thanks for highlighting Enfilade figures! Had never heard of them before. Their Vietnam range looks excellent and like a good match for my existing 20mm Vietnam armies.

Fab show guy’s.
Orcs orcs orcs orcs
Come on you apes do you want to live forever?!?!
Love the doomdivers models even though I’ve never played the computer game. Agree with Gerry on the Wargames Atlantic bugs though – wanting them for my 5 Parsecs games too 😀
I have a small Home Guard / Early War British army for Bolt Action. The shore party looks like it’d be a nice addition to my force
Helldivers is great. So this looks very good.
Great episode as always.
Shall look over at Skullforge shortly.
“Something Below” hehehe
I’ve really got to get to the UK some time for UKGE…
Oh my, I want tiny attack rats now!
Sounds like we’re looking forward to Gerry’s unboxing then
Oh damn, Skullforge you’ve got Crabs!! Want!!
Now I can fight for managed democracy on the table top. Soon it will be in real life!
The weekend starts here
Thanks for spotlighting free rules! Plenty of good rulesets out there that could use some attention.
