Get Into A Skirmish With New Game, Fallout Factions: Nuka World

Modiphius has now revealed their new Fallout project for 2024. James M. Hewitt is working with them to produce Fallout Factions: Nuka World. This is a new 32mm scale skirmish game compatible with Wasteland Warfare but featuring a new system!
Fallout Factions: Nuka World // Modiphius
Nuka World will see two players looking to battle over territory to strengthen their Raiders faction and take control of Nuka World. The game uses d10s and will feature a streamlined resolution system for combat. This makes it a solid choice for those Fallout fans new to tabletop miniatures games looking to try it out.
The 32mm miniatures, as mentioned, are compatible with the range from Wasteland Warfare meaning if you already have a collection then you can start on a better footing with Nuka World. The new miniatures though, ten in a box, will feature different build options allowing you to make them suit one of three Raider gangs.
Will you take on the role of the Operators, the Pack or the Disciples? Hewitt has a good pedigree in game design and I am eager to see how this one plays out. We should be getting a chance to talk with Modiphius about the game soon so watch out for that!

Oh this makes me sad, it was so not needed. James is a great designer so I am sure it will be a tight game, but it would have been far better in my opinion to have a battle mode expansion for Fallout Wasteland Warfare. This is really going to confuse the market in my view.
I really hate being negative, it’s not in my nature, but I’m struggling with this one!
Wait? A different rule set for a different setting? oO Does that make sense?!
It is a lighter pick up and play ruleset for people who find Wasteland Warfare to be too dense with its RPG-like aspects and lots of cards. It is a simpler experience aiming to cater for a different taste of game. If you want to simulate the Fallout world, play FWW. If you want to chuck some stuff on the table and play a quick one-off game play Factions. This launch set is themed around the Nuka World Park from Fallout 4, they intend to expand it out to other regions over time. Wasteland Warfare already does expansions based on… Read more »
Ah, I see. Thanks for the explanation @ugleb Maybe it’s a way to get more minis for Fallout? 😉
The base game is a bit difficult to get into though. Lots of versions of play and deciding which one suits you
Hmm. I was under the impression that the Wasteland Warfare rules were getting revised, not that a different game was coming out.
Both are true. They are rebalancing armour in Wasteland Warfare in the Nuka World expansion book. In short, all non-robot/non-creatures are having their armour values set to zero and costs are being rebalanced to put the focus on equipping armour. They are trying to get away from the sometimes unclear interaction between using the values from an equipped card vs the values printed on the character card.
Fallout Factions is a new lighter game system aimed at a more casual experience, with the launch set being themed on Nuka World.
