DROP CORPS PIONEERS
Ever since Earth's unification, mankind has looked to the stars. Our utopian civilisation found a dozen empty planets that were ripe for colonisation and we brought freedom to the corners of our galaxy. But liberty is a precious treasure that must be forever guarded. Just as in the days of pre-unification, tyranny rose up to take back what we had rightfully claimed. With duty calling all peoples, the Drop Corps was born. The Drop Corps Pioneers venture forth into danger for the good of all United Earthlings.
Creating a better world for tomorrow, today!
Is liberty calling YOU?

In 2024, following the massive success of the video game Helldivers 2, Grimskald released a free tabletop ruleset called Doomdivers, bringing the high-octane action of orbital warfare to the gaming table.
Since its release, players around the world—from Romania to Buenos Aires—have embraced the game, recreating thrilling battles as warriors drop from orbit to obliterate alien bugs. The result? Explosive fun and vibrant tabletop scenes filled with chaos, heroics, and bug-crushing glory.
Doomdivers expanded in ways we could never have expected with folks everywhere designing their own custom cards, miniatures, standees and terrain boards.
The images on this page were all provided by our community, who not only did all the amazing hobby work, but provided numerous suggestions about how we could expand the game.
Enter Drop Corps Pioneers!
D.C.P is Doomdivers redesigned to be the essential co-op shooter tabletop ruleset, enabling you to recreate the dynamic experiences of the videogame genre on the tabletop.
Use any sci-fi miniatures or terrain you have.
Be the pioneer you were born to be.
D.C.P will contain a variety of rules so that you can fight as your favourite type of drop soldier - inspired by other games such as Gears of War, Halo, Space Marine 2, Starship Troopers and Aliens.
Fight against Tyranny!
The game will feature a diverse array of enemies, including swarms of alien bugs, deadly bots, hulking brutes, zombies, rebels, and even demonic forces from the depths of hell.
Pair that with unique biome-specific rules -battle bugs in dense jungles, hunt bots across rocky deserts, and more - and you’ve got a complete sandbox experience. D.C.P gives you the freedom to play your way, with every mission feeling fresh, dynamic, and packed with explosive action.
Immersive Campaigns
We are developing a simple framework for you to create awesome and engaging campaigns with your friends or solo!
In a D.C.P campaign, you play as a new commander of a Catapult Frigate. You will start with a standard ship, but as you achieve victories you will be provided with more funding to upgrade your pioneer's armour and equipment, and also better ordnance and orbital support equipment for your vessel.
Campaigns in D.C.P are built around Operations - each one made up of a series of linked missions. For example, you might run a three-mission Operation to purge a desert planet overrun by infected zombie colonists.
Operations can be randomly generated or tailored to match your miniature and terrain collection. When one Operation ends, travel to a new star system to face a different enemy - or chain multiple Operations together to wage a full-scale war.
With the D.C.P, the galaxy is yours to pacify.
Miniatures shown all community miniatures sourced from various providers such as Skull Forge Studios, Papsikles, Games Workshop and others.
