Hexwerks Studios

Dark tabletop games. Myth-soaked miniatures. Worlds built from oath, iron, and ruin.

Tabletop Systems

Games in the Forge

Hexwerks games are built for the painted table: named fighters, hard choices, oath-bound goals, and miniature worlds that feel hand-forged rather than mass-produced.

Flagship Skirmish Game

Black Oaths

Lead oath-bound warbands through blood feud, relic hunger, and the long shadow of saints, ravens, and old gods. Every fighter matters, and every wound carries forward.

Dark Age Warband Game

Oaths & Banners

A grounded Dark Age warband game of shieldwalls, banners, leaders, and the hard arithmetic of keeping a line together.

Norse Duel Game

EINVÍGI

A holmgang-inspired duel game of distance, timing, commitment, and reading the moment before the strike. Every step matters.

Miniatures & Lore

Figures With Doom in Their Bones

The visual language of Hexwerks is cold iron, blood marks, broken vows, relics, ravens, and warriors caught between old gods and a changing world.

Every system is built to support the hobby table: named fighters, distinct warbands, strong silhouettes, and campaign stories that make painted models feel earned.
