I was thinking that maybe a miniature game based on the Fallout universe would kick ass!
There would be several factions:
Brotherhood of Steel
Enclave
Caesars Legion
Robots of House
The Kings
Vault Dwellers
Super Mutants
Ghouls
NCR
I think this would be a great idea! What do you guys think?

I think a Necromunda / skirmish / squad type game in this universe has incredible potential.

Meh, I see Fallout working better as an RPG or boardgame rather than a minis game.

Seriously, just Fallout Tactics but as a tabletop game. I'm all for it.
A small skirmish style game like infinity/necromunda/age of sigmar would be great for the fallout universe.
The other option that would be great would be a detailed miniature based board game that could be co-op. Board games like these have become very popular lately as the miniature gaming crowd is getting older, having kids, less time, etc.
Then there was the Outlanders supplement that added the Ash Wastes with vehicle rules.
Would love a great Fallout rules set, though, alongside my City of Heroes/ Villain's one....

At Games Workshop, we believe that how you behave does matter. We believe this so strongly that we have written it down in the Games Workshop Book. There is a section in the book where we talk about the values we expect all staff to demonstrate in their working lives. These values are Lawyers, Guns and Money.

Didn't we have this same thread last week? ...And like a month before that too? Call me jaded perhaps by these as I've started repeating myself with my comments. OK... For reference then, and because I've written longer winded posts on the previous X number of threads, jump onto the Lead Adventure Forum's Post Apocalyptic Board. There's a pinned thread there for model suggestions, another for what rules to use, and 42 pages of people's own modelling threads based on the series. I keep one here on Dakka and another over there too (its the longest one on that whole board IIRC actually), though I've taken a break from it of late for a bit of change with my S.T.A.L.K.E.R.and Elder Scrolls threads (I'll pick it back up when Fallout 4 comes out however probably).
But aye, check out that forum. Particularly if you're interested in picking up models that are "in no way at all inspired by the series and any comments to that effect will be taken at the strongest offence" by the Fallout series look out for a user called Messyart and his threads, and maybe hit him up with an email if you're interested in what he has to offer. The Deathclaw, Centaur, Bloatflies and Mirelurks in my thread off the top of my head are by him.
Messyart made models:
Spoiler:
Brother Vinni:
Spoiler:
* Messyart's ones are mostly as they came bar some reposing, but the Brother Vinni robots have had parts added to make them more accurate. Lately (because he may now gave a toss about copyright law) he's not been ripping off the original designs so much however.
Summary: That forum, my thread, those two sellers (there's others who make "inspired" models aside from them, but Lead Adventure has a thread for that) and as far as rules go This is Not a Test is pretty much the go to for the setting.
And oh joy I said I CBA posting a load of guff but wound up anyway.

The reason I bought rules and became a real wargamer was because I wanted a properly thought out structure to govern the action instead of just making things up as I went along.
