I love how much of the Rouge Trader spirit is in all the SCRUNGALOIDs. Can't wait for more!

Paint scheme test!

Painting @opensketchbook.bsky.social 's Scrungaloids as Crimson Fists, and I've tested both a regular scheme and an all metal one using Vallejo's new metals.

I love how the metals look, but for these guys and for what I want right now, I think the non metal version is best

I recently discovered these little guys on cults3d and i have to say these sculpts are delightful and retro. I was even more suprised when i found out that they even have their own rules. Super cool rules and incredibly fun descriptors. #SCRUNGALOIDS will probably be my new hyperfixation.

i like to imagine scrungaloids look slightly like the weird naked aliens from the first futurama movie underneath

A photo of two Scrungaloids. They look like GW RTB01 beaky marines. They are both posed as if scratching their helmeted heads while looking down at their raised left leg. They hold a boltgun in their left hands. On the left is one called Brother Greg, painted like a Crimson Fist: dark blue with a red lower left arm and hand. A white number 3 is visible on his left kneepad, and on the corner of his right shoulderpad is a small white arrow pointing upwards. On the right is one called Brother Pax, painted like a Minotaur from the famous colour spread of Badab War Chapters: yellow and red dazzle pattern with a dark gunmetal backpack. Visible on his left shoulderpad is a small white skull. The words LUV and HATE are painted on his kneepads. On his right shoulderpad are a tactical symbol and a small number 7, both in black.

OK so the basing on Brother Pax isn’t done, and the paint is yet to dry on Brother Greg, but here you go. Two Scrungaloids, from the Red Hands and the Angry Bull-Men! A wee homage to Rogue Trader in the paintjobs. More detailed pics to come later…!
Two 3D printed Scrungaloids. The one on the left (Brother Pax) is painted in a dazzling yellow and red scheme with dark brown leather pouches. His power pack is a dark metallic colour, and various details are painted on in black or white. A small white skull can be seen on his left shoulderpad. The one on the right (Brother Greg) is painted in a dark blue scheme with the whole of his lower left arm and left hand in red. His pouches are black, and there are some visible markings in white such as a number three on his left kneepad. Both Scrungaloids carry black cased guns with gunmetal parts, and have bare-metal coloured grenades on their belts.

Scrungaloids printed… just gotta paint them before 01/01/26! 🥳
A photo of two unpainted resin-printed SCRUNGALOIDS. They look very much like a certain miniatures manufacturer’s 1980s Empire Void Troopers, but are in fact SCRUNGALOIDS, which, as any fule kno, are the lowest form of life, chiz chiz

i think you’ll find these are scrungaloids, actually. once placed side by side the stylistic differences are pretty enormous, and no copyrighted symbols are used.

Scrungaloids sounds fun as heck

Scrungaloids is coming out in 12 days, and the STLs will come with a version 1 of the skirmish game of the same name Lexie and I wrote this year. I'm incredibly proud of it mechanically and I want to talk about why.

Thinking about the Major Carapace benefits & drawbacks of Scrungaloids, Qualities from Shadowrun and the sadly removed Curse effects from pf2e and coming to the conclusion that my favorite features in games is character options that directly and mechanically influence your character's behavior

Very neat! I've been noodling on an epic-scale wargame with alternating activations, and a lot of the same goals, looks like I was on *a* right track if Scrungaloids works!

This system is fucking great, rules look fun and flavorful and every bit of setting lore is fucking hilarious
Weapon Section: Heat Rays Laser Pointer - Firearm: "This one's our bad. Stevens was doing what he called 'thermal capacity testing' on a nest and he left his toys out. We're making him do the dishes for the camp for the next few cycles in the hopes he learns something." Heat Ray - Firearm: "We regret to report they've started strapping them together and building their own. Just the other day we saw one of them use adhesives to connect one to a vehicle battery. Bits everywhere. Great job, Stevens. Great data." Crystal Sword - Melee Weapon: Grown in special groves, these psychically-attuned crystals are carefully harvested in order to not disturb the sacred energies until they can be used to cut something's head right the fuck off. Carapace Colours Scrungaloids are highly territorial creatures, and distinguish packs by the colour of their carapaces. This is so important that they paint the surfaces of all their equipment, vehicles, auxiliaries, and even their territory itself with this colour. Each model gets to choose up to two Minor Carapace Colours, giving you bonuses. You may choose to replace one of these Minor Carapace Colours with a Major Carapace Colour instead, which gives a larger bonus but comes with a drawback. You may choose the same Colour for your Minor and Major Carapace Colour. One of your Carapace Colours (the Major if you have one, or one of the Minors if you don't) must be shared by every single Scrungaloid in the Pack. This means if you have a Major Colour, all models must have that Major Colour. A Friendly Scrungaloid is an Allied Scrungaloid that shares all the colours of the Scrungaloid with the fewest colours in the comparison; if a Scrungaloid has the Minor and Major versions of the same colour, they still count as having 2 colours for the purposes of determining who has fewer colours. This means that if you give some of your models only 1 Colour, they are more flexible. Example: A Scrungaloid with only one Colour (say, Blue), is Friendly with any Scrungaloid who has any Blue at all in their carapace. A Scrungaloid with the same Major and Minor (Blue/Blue) is Friendly with any Scrungaloid who is Blue or Blue/Blue, but not with Blue/Something Else. A Scrungaloid with two different colours (say, Blue/Red) is Friendly with other Blue/Red Scrungaloids, with monocolour Blue Scrungaloids, and with Alphas who are Blue/Red/Something Else. They'd technically also be Friendly with monocolour Red, but vou can't have monocolour Red and Blue in the same Pack. Can't fit the last paragraph due to the character limit. Grey "The Unpainted Masses" Grey may not be a paint colour at all, but instead the natural colour of Scrungaloid carapaces when unadorned. However, research indicates that this may be a recent adaptation, and as few as three decades ago Scrungaloids were naturally a sort of cream colour. Major This model costs 1 point less. Minor This model costs 1 point less. Blue "Legio Scrungulus" The egomaniacal Blue-carapaced Scrungaloids are known for their strict hierarchy and e at with adherence to procedure at all costs. They act with greater efficiency, but only within their tightly regulated self-imposed bounds. Major In the Combat Phase, after Scoping, vou can make a free Scrabble. Non-Vehicles cannot Scuttle during the Combat Phase. Minor Each time vou use Momentum on this Scrungaloid, roll 1d6. On a 5-6, get the Momentum back. Red "Sanquivores" Red is a colour that drives Scrungaloids into a fury, and those that dab their carapaces in this colour are, to the last, completely nuts. As terrifying as their madness makes them, it also means they are quick to forget what they were doing in favour of going limb harvesting. Major Improve Melee weapon Accuracy by 1. When Activated, they must always Scrabble if eligible. Minor Each time this Scrungaloid Scuttles, they may move +1" if the move would take them closer to the nearest enemy model.

i just primed over 50 scrungaloids in one sitting

tomorrow my sibling and i are gonna paint up a bunch of them as examples

Ah, a pack of wild Arteebus. Notice their grey exoskeletons - these scrungaloids have yet to find a permanent chapter, a precarious situation as winter approaches. Many of them will not survive to spring, but it's a trial all young scrungaloids must face.

This is the only thing I have ever wanted out of a wargame before and I don't think I've ever gotten it, v intrigued by Scrungaloids!

so fast play gives you a buffer; the game rewards making 'good enough' decisions quickly instead of carefully and exactly measuring out the best ones, but you can still choose to do that if it would be worth it!

However, your opponent can finish off nearby downed Scrungaloids on their turn as they salvage them for supplies.

So what this means is that long range fire can disrupt your opponent's game plan, but securing kills and taking ground are synonymous.

a lot of Scrungaloids is designed around this make-mistakes-get-messy mindset, and the place that manifests most is the casualty rules.

Scrungaloids very rarely die; the majority of the time they are merely downed. Down Scrungaloids can be picked back up, but it costs you actions to do so.

Scrungaloids moves *blisteringly* fast, and to encourage that speed even further, you play it with a chess clock, handing your opponent Momentum when you stall. Momentum's capabilities are impactful but small, getting you onto points, out of line of sight, or saving a model in an emergency.
December 20, 2025 at 3:03 AM
opensketchbook.bsky.social
it also means that Scrungaloids can be very, very fast relative to the board you play on and it still works. A normal scrungaloid can move 72 inches over the course of six rounds, but rushdown isn't an autowin because you opponent gets a chance to shoot you down as a group
