Modiphius Entertainment has announced the pre-order availability of the Fallout: Factions Core Ruleboo. This new hardback rulebook aims to enhance the Fallout: Factions miniature skirmish game, offering players the tools to create campaigns set anywhere in the post-apocalyptic Wasteland.
The Core Rulebook builds on the foundation laid by the Battle for Nuka-World starter set, which featured three raider gangs from Fallout 4’s popular DLC. The new book expands the game’s scope by introducing four additional factions: the Brotherhood of Steel, super mutants, survivors, and raiders. The 112-page, full-color hardcover provides comprehensive rules, campaign systems, and faction-specific content to deepen the gameplay experience.
Priced at £30 / $37, the Core Rulebook will be available for purchase through the Modiphius webstore and local gaming stores in early summer 2025. It is designed to work alongside the Battle for Nuka-World starter set or the upcoming Tokens and Terrain Pack 1, offering players a complete toolkit for creating their own stories in the Wasteland.
The Core Rulebook includes an introduction to wargaming, core rules for fast-paced skirmish gameplay, and an in-depth scenario system to keep each game unique. The Story Phase section allows players to develop their crew, achieve legendary status, or face the consequences of failure. Faction lists provide detailed profiles for each group, including weapons, perks, and legendary characters.
One of the key features of the new rulebook is its flexibility. While the Battle for Nuka-World starter set focused on a specific area, the Core Rulebook allows players to set their campaigns anywhere in the Wasteland. New mechanics, such as Hazards and Facilities, enable crews to customize their Home Turfs, while Objectives and Hazards replace specific scenarios, creating countless combinations for varied gameplay.
Players can also hire new Legends of the Wasteland, upgrade weapons, purchase chems, and unlock perks for their crew. The updated Story Phase ensures campaigns are more expansive and interconnected, offering greater opportunities for storytelling and strategic decision-making.
