Dorkfactory Proxy Table for Grimdark Future (onepagerules' wargame)

I've been playing tabletop wargames and various other formats of strategy games for decades but as the years roll by I find myself with less and less free time to devote to gaming. My tabletop game of choice has always been 40k, but this edition (9th) has really burnt me out and I just don't have the time to stay up to date anymore. I LOVE super complicated games, and I know they are innately hard to balance, but with 40k it doesn't feel like earnest game design. The break-neck pace of sweeping rules changes, to me, are detrimental and largely avoidable (hint: don't try to make every new release the new top dog and then issue huge rules re-writes after the sales have cooled down).

But that's not what this post is about. 

I've been eyeing Grimdark Future, the wargame by onepagerules, for a long time and I've finally decided to give it a shot. I'm still very new to it but I gotta say I'm quite pleased so far. It's fun, it's fast and there's a lot more nuance than I expected. It's also SO COOL, that I'm not just starting a completely new game endeavor and I can use my (embarrassingly huge) existing collection of models as they are. A large chunk of the Dorkfactory community seems to already have experience with Grimdark Future and you guys are what slowly eroded my hesitation, so, thanks y'all! 

Visually, Dorkfactory minis mostly live in the no man's land between proxies and original designs, so unsurprisingly there have been quite a few requests for proxy lists over the years. Now that I feel a little more acquainted with the game and since there really is a LOT of overlap I've finally decided to write up a proxy table for Dorkfactory miniatures that translate directly to to Grimdark Future.

I hope this can be a handy reference for those interested. Here's the list!

I'll keep this updated as new models are released.

Thanks everybody,
