20mm Vietnam

As I mentioned a couple of days ago I'm working on a set of Vietnam War rules, I have ordered a platoons worth of figures and they finally arrived yesterday. Very excited and abandoned all other work to base the first squad.

Ten men, lead by a Corporal, most armed with M16s but a couple with M79 grenade launchers. I have another 2 Squads the same plus 2 M60 sections and the Company HQ.

Then need helicopters!

Dark Future

One of my favourite GW games of all time, in fact the first GW game I brought is Dark Future. Now sadly long forgotten I still have a couple of sets and a few of the original cars and figures for it.

I haven't played for quite a while but must soon, and what reminded me of this amazing game? a couple of the cars sitting on my shelf...

One of the original plastic interceptors (sanctioned ops) from the game. This one armed with turret mounted heavy laser and 2 missile pods (and a few unseen mines)

Aircraft style paintings the order of the day

Renegade Gang member of the Maniax gang, armed with 2 front Autocannons, a 40mm Grenade Launcher and a rear facing machine gun

Another Maniax Renegade this time with a cupola mounted minigun and 40mm Grenade launcher, with a nasty surprise twin rear facing 20mm grenade launchers

Other stuff

Just a last catch up post on a few other bits, Flames of War Germans, some Imperial Guard allies for my Dark Angels which are going to be used as Dark Angels fleet security detachments; I'm using Space Marine Scout bodies with Cadian Heads and a mix of weapons.

Also currently working on a set of rules for Vietnam based on Necromunda, it started as a simple rules conversion but the more I get into it the more I'm adding cool ideas. more to come on that later though

SS Panzers. As used in a Flames of War Tank Aces campaign. My tank ace (on the right) Edward Blach Hader has an impressive number of kills and maxed out his experience halfway through the campaign

A mix of SS infantry and British Paras. More to come later

Relic

As I mentioned a year ago i received Relic for my birthday, the busts you get with the game are amazing and I have been slowly painted them up. So far I have completed the Inquisitor, Sister of Battle and Commissar...

Horus Heresy

After spending a long time refusing to get involved in a Horus Heresy army mainly due to the cost I gave in recently at the Forge World open day. I've decided on a Salamanders army, I love the figures and they have some pretty cool rules that fit my style of play. The first unit I brought were some Pyrocasts, Artificer armoured veterans with strength six heavy flamers that double as a short ranged melta weapon. They will be put into their own Landraider Proteus at some point but for now the next part of the project is the two tactical squads I need.

Long time gone

Well it's been a while, over a year since I last updated this. Lots has happened but I have still been painting s time to catch up with some of what I have been upto...

So far a start some 15mm Napoleonics, I've been missing some old fashioned linear wargames, and I dug out the old WRG 1645-1845 rules; think they are from 1973 so as old as me, but with a few tweaks they make a perfectly good set of rules. Tom and I have played a few games using just the bases to see how it works and I have started a British army with the Light Division. It's a small formation of two British Light Infantry Battalions and two Portuguese Cacadores Battalions supported by eight Companies of Riflemen and two Regiments of British Light Cavalry and a Royal Horse Artillery Battery.

So far I've completed the two Light Infantry regiments, one of the Portuguese regiments and the riflemen.
