Steamship Troopers - VSF playtest for Horisont 2012

[Mason]

Bloody great eye-candy!
Looked like great fun, and yet more great VSF inspiration.

Love it!

Looks like a really fun game.

By the by, who makes the hulk-like figure in the bottom right of the last photo? Looks like a clix to me, but can't place it.

It's some kind superhero clix figure that I put a pith helmet on.

Sorry I can't be more of use with regards to exact naming...

The unpainted minis are a forgiveable oversight, but that china blue table... ! Even a sheet of brown paper would have done.

It's okay Lieutenant, all is forgiven this time, due to an excellent and hilarious batrep which will be mentioned in the next despatch. But you're on watch, mind! Don't let it happen again, there's a good chappie.

Everybody knows that the British painted the earth blue in all their colonies, so it would be easy to destinguish their land from space.

Sigh, some of you VSF nuts should read up on the historic parts too 

[Red Orc]

No, the British painted theirs red, as you can see on any map of the world printed in Britain before 1955. The French painted theirs blue. I can only assume that the dastardly French had come along and tried to pretend that was their land under our soldiers.

Gorgeous game, looks like it was great fun, and I think we have to forgive the unpainted minis and naked table, for starters because it was just a test-run, and secondly because you did it with such great style.

Those walking bombs are an excellent idea! Where did they come from? that way I can steal them more easily!

My mad Scientist, Herr Doktor Professor Otto Maton, makes all sorts of mechanickal marvels. One item in his arsenal is a unit of steam spiders that can act as limpet mines against armoured vehicles. Not as devastating as those walking bombs against infantry groups, though.

[Jonas]

The bombs are made from some Super Mario Candy. They are made by Dr The Viking, I think he bought them in Germany.

Strong Guy!

Fantastic looking game and a wonderful concept.

[Bullshott]

This is giving me ideas

[Mr. Jape]

Well you want a good hoard xenomorph, who better than the Arachnids? Really lovely - the walking bombs are top notch.

[XCIV]

Thanks Jonas. I'll see what google-fu and ebay-itsu can dig up for me.

[Count Winsky]

Great and fun looking game!!!!!
