Digits Sci Fi ...kit bashed APCs and Hab Tents
« on: December 05, 2019, 06:34:47 PM »
Some know me from Ammobunker where for a number of years I spent a lot of time converting 40k armies, mostly guard themed including Skeleton Guard, and my beloved Drogans.  Much as I loved it, these day’s I don’t get to play so the interest has waned.....for now.....



However, I will get an opportunity to meet new gaming folk next week playing a smaller scale sci fi game (I do t know the rules so should be fun) and I have been asked to provide a team.  I could did in my 40k collection but that’s probably not the done thing.....so I find myself needing to paint some figures! 

So, I will use this spot to pop up pictures to motivate myself to .....paint!

Pics soon....

Digits,
I think has.beens idea is to use Galactic Hero rules for the game next week.
They are good fun rules from the Fist full of lead stable.
Looking forward to the game.

Love that pic! 

Nice looking troops, liquid tanks (one cracked and something's escaped - no doubt what the troops are hunting now), neat tower, and great looking floor grating.

Any hints on who makes the latter floor tiles?

Looking forward to seeing you and your heroes next week.
Galactic Heroes is a nice & simple system. People seem to
pick it up very quickly, and more importantly, have fun.

That’s what it’s ALL about fella!

Mako, the picture was from our “Best participation game” table at Gamesday a few years ago now, with kill teams roaming a crashed Necron ship.  The tiles in the foreground are Hirst Arts mould cast in dental powder.

Red.....the colour of the Inquisition.......not the most subtle colour to dodge bullets in.

Meet “Da Loights - Planetary Auditors”

Maybe not the combat team you’d expect to be engaged with the scum and villainy of the universe, but when Planetary Overlords feel they’ve been stiffed by their ungrateful underlings, avoiding their taxes and tithes, then these are the fellows they call in to investigate.



From left to right “Ferret”, “Countdown”, “PG”, “Tiny” and “Numbers”

And from behind, nice tight glutes.



“Ferret” - so called because nothing misses his steely gaze, he can spot financial irregularities at 100 metricals.........and besides, he looks like one.  He is first aid trained.

“Countdown” - when the team are in downtime, there is nothing they like to do better than watch antique vid plates of Old Earth quiz shows.  The boys all agree she is hotter than Vorderman or Riley! Locker room scuttlebutt has it her father was an Android - she has a brain with the computing power of a small battle cruiser!

“PG” - the boss, so called as he is never seen without a cuppa in his hand (of course, he’s a lead miniature, he will ALWAYS have a cuppa in his hand!  No nonsense type, his word is final.....he’s seen it all, done it all, carries the scars and is paying alimony to at least four ex wives, including a two headed Mlduvian beauty he left when he realised he had to deal with twice the angst!

”Tiny” - Most believe that he’s named ironically being a tall brute of a man....fact is, the others have seen him in the shower......he really needs to stop pumping the steroids!  Still, great guy to have in a fist fight.....he’s as tough as old grunthar scrotum!

“Numbers” - Quietly spoken, this guy is a killer.  Many a tax dodger has pulled a gun on him, only for him to have drawn with lightning reflex and fired with unerring
accuracy, planting las shots squarely between their eyes / antennae / feelers ....
The name refers to the number of kills he is amassing, each entered meticulously into his data slate.  One day, he intends to publish his autobiography, detailing his life as an accountant and he wants to be able to recount every altercation.  When The boss is topside or attending another divorce settlement hearing, this chap steps up, effectively no 2.

There is no long range capability within the group, they are however all handy with their snub nosed las pistols.  Don’t underestimate them.

Peter, I may need you to re work their skill set accordingly.....ta fella.

Ha! My crew consider themselves Free Traders. That is, free from petifoggery and bureaucratic rules and regulations. Why worry about Taxes! What the Accountants never know about can't hurt them....
I am going to build a wargames army, a big beautiful wargames army, and Mexico is going to pay for it.

Remember....on these worlds, nothing is as certain as death and taxes! 

If you don’t want to pay up.....the other awaits you.

Very disappointing!  I ordered a little fighting robot “Walter Warbot” from Diehard Miniatures for this weekends game as a fall back figure.  He has arrived...without his head!

The accountants are on their own.....
