What post-apocalyptic skirmish games are out there where various forms of mutants are playable forces? I know Ganesha's Mutants and Death Ray Guns allows the players to run different types of mutants, including plant people. But all other games I've come across assume the player's forces will be fully human, although they can fight against mutants as NPC enemies. Nordic Weasel's No Hope in Sight is like this. Thanks |

Try Warhammer 40,000 Rogue Trader (the original hardcover from 1980-something) with the Realm Of Chaos: Slaves To Darkness supplement (also the 1980-something hardcover) Amazing skirmish game with increfible variety in mutations. Just don't try to turn it into a platoon. Despite the army lists put out for the game, it works best at the squad level. |

Also Rogue trader is available from Forge world as a reprint |

I had a copy of Realm of Chaos that I put up on ebay thinking I'd get $20 USD for it at best. Winning bid was over $70. USD That was 10 years ago. The cheapest price I saw for it now is around $85. USD Do you want a Gamma World like game? Maybe you need to check into Mutant Future: link |

'This is Not a Test' is a post-apoc skirmish & mutants are one of the factions |

Toxic Holocaust 2 has mutations both physical and mental. Then there's Vortex and Shock Force which both allow you to build any type of character you want for any setting. |

This is Not a Test is a good one. Great Campaign system also. Another one worth checking out is Nuclear Renaissance. And of course Necromunda (I recommend the NCE edition at Yaktribe) has the scavy faction. |

5th vote for This is Not a Test. Gave me something playable to use my Judge Dredd/2000AD figures with. |

Where is "Rogue Trader available from Forgeworld" as a reprint? I don't see that on their website. |

I thought Osprey's upcoming "Scrappers" allows for mutants. |

I'd love it if scrappers allowed mutants, bit theres been very little info on it so far that I've found |
