Cooperative alternatives? (lemmy.world)

Sorry if this is treacherous heresy here. I know very little about WH40K.

I love seeing your minis and the collecting aspects. I wonder if there are cooperative alternatives or forms of these games, as my partner and I are not very competitive people. We enjoy expressing ourselves with our choice of... Idk, armies in the case of 40K, I guess. It'd be nice to find a system using minis that would allow cooperative gameplay, as I don't fancy collecting a buncha minis, and leaving them to sit. At the same time, I'm not creative enough to construct my own game system to meet these needs, so an existing structure would be nice. Thank you, Mini Masters. 🙇

There's also Five Parsecs from Home, which is a solo wargame / RPG. You only need a handful of minis, and it's miniature-agnostic so that you can use any mini you want.

Wow, this looks really neat! I also find the price a lot easier to digest as a student who just dropped 500$ on a new windshield due to a stray rock. 💀 I think this might be my top choice for an entry trial. Maybe I could adjust the ruleset to include my partner too. 😁 Thank you so much! 🙇

Have fun! Five Parsecs lends itself nicely to cooperative play. My girlfriend and I usually play by either deciding on a course of action together, or by each of us controlling half of the team.

To get started, there's also a great ongoing YouTube series by Trevor Devall from Me, Myself and Die!.
