I've been hunting for a mini agnostic skirmish/war game for a while now, one where we can hopefully use his absurd amount of various monstrous beasts in.

We are battletech and 40k players (although the former much more), and I am looking for something with decent tactical depth (it doesn't have to be classic btech!), but nothing too crazy. I just purchased Xenos Rampant to try that, and it seems fine, but I can't say the generic attacks are really grabbing me (roll 10 dice for all attacks!). I would much prefer something that has discrete units and weapons that I can flavor myself... maybe?

We have also played a lot of Frostgrave and Stargrave, but those don't really have the mechanics to put together the battles we want to do. For example:

Our game of Xenos Rampant involved
3 armored core/gundams
1 megablox warthog
4 spartans
1 Eldar Wraithknight

He has dragons and other creatures out the wazoo I'd love to fight/use for my own forces.

So any suggestions on a game system we could use for our madness? Thanks!

Dropzone Commander Operation Artemis is explicitly mechs vs megafauna. It’s natively 10mm, it I’m sure that’s easy enough to work around.
