Sword & Board Games is an independent tabletop games studio founded by four tabletop gamers looking to make the kinds of games we would be diehard fans of ourselves if we hadn't made them.

700 years after the Posthuman Revolt, the Ascendant Legions reave and pillage along the periphery of the Unifier-in-Absentia's domain, conquering worlds to serve as footholds for increasingly daring raids deeper into Tetrarchy territory or as temples to venerate powers far older than humanity.
May 6, 2025 at 6:50 PM
However, the military junta established on Mars in the wake of the Unifier's final defeat was short lived as the remnant fleet of the Army of Unification set Mars to siege quickly after, all the while this posthuman occupation took almost no time to devolve into fatal infighting.
May 6, 2025 at 6:50 PM
This caused tensions to reach a boiling point when the Unifier began dividing the spoils of war, granting landed titles and fiefdoms to his closest advisors, mentors, and confidants, the forming of the Great Houses. Though none of these Great Houses were formed from the ranks of the Haagenti.
May 6, 2025 at 6:50 PM
During the Tetrarchy's Era of Unification, the Haagenti were the alchemically and cybernetically augmented shocktroops who formed the spearhead of the Army of Unification. Only operating alongside baseline soldiers in the most desperate of campaigns, they formed a highly insular and elitist mindset.

The Akshenim are a proud, ancient people, whose history stretches back tens of millions of years. They are physical manifestations of the magic which flows throughout all existence, wandering the stars in search of the Artifacts of Ruin aboard their arcanotek colony ships known as Dragon-Arks.

An example warband created with a 1k points limit, featuring the titanic dragon Valathrax the Incorruptible, and his retinue of human, elven, and dwarven followers. This warband is going to feature in an upcoming Battle Report showcasing the rules for the Medieval Warfare expansion.

The Anvil Pattern Main Battle Tank is what's known as a Tomb Engine, a gargantuan vehicle kept in the armor columns of a Household's Haagenti Legion piloted not by a living crew, but by the quarter-living carcass of an undead Haagenti warrior.

The 1.1 update of the TUSC: The Universal Skirmish Combat Engine rulebook has been released, which contains a small number of changes mostly geared toward further polishing the game and fixing known issues. Full patch notes below:
December 15, 2024 at 9:51 PM
The primary weapon of the Haagenti legions is the Radgun, a devastating anti-infantry weapon designed to agonizingly melt soft targets in a cone in front of the legionnaire with radioactive waves. Often deployed to brutally put down seditious demonstrations, a practice known as crowd clearance.

WE'VE SOLD OVER 50 COPIES
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-
December 3, 2024 at 3:47 PM
The true strength of the Tetrarchy is in its legions of Haagenti terror troops. Prisoners, street scum, or those who exemplify a shocking eagerness to commit violence find themselves turned into hulking cybernetic monsters unleashed on human population centers to make an example of the rebellious.

Sword & Board Games' resident artist, @zackonline.bsky.social, has been deep in the concept art mines for our next game.

We present: some guns and some goons.
November 24, 2024 at 7:56 PM
The game's not been out a full week and it's already sold 12 copies. We're predicted to sell one tuscillion copies by the end of 2024.

With TUSC's recent release, I'm sure you're wondering how the game plays. Well, @sallywargaming.bsky.social, our lead games designer and @sjklapecki.bsky.social, our head writer, recorded a battle report some time ago using a pre-release build of the game. Check it out!

We here at Sword & Board Games are already deep in the process of developing our next game, and as part of that our lead artist @zackonline.bsky.social has done a lot of sketches for various project ideas. With that being said I would like to highlight this sketch of a man whomst face is also a gun.

You can check out how TUSC plays to see if it's the kind of game that would interest you by watching this battle report between @sallywargaming.bsky.social's Genehanced Warriors and @sjklapecki.bsky.social's Cyberanarks!
