More Minis, More Mayhem
This new campaign expands on the original Arena of Badassery miniatures game, where players battle waves of bandits, psychos, and vault monsters in fully 3D terrain arenas. Monster Fight Club has teased new playable Vault Hunters, enemies, and environmental hazards, all rendered in highly detailed plastic miniatures.
While full stretch goal details are under wraps, early previews show updated rules, streamlined scenarios, and even more modular terrain — something skirmish gamers will appreciate for crossover play in systems like Gangfight or other custom miniature skirmish games. Fans of cinematic, fast-paced combat will find plenty of crossover potential here.
Why It Matters to Skirmish Gamers
Monster Fight Club has a strong pedigree in modular terrain and miniature design, making their kits prime material for custom setups or proxies in open skirmish systems. The blend of cel-shaded sculpting and over-the-top sci-fi weaponry makes the Borderlands line especially versatile for hobbyists who love kitbashing or creating unique crews for narrative play.
