Hat Guy's back on Sci-Fi and other lazy rythmes

[Hat Guy]

Still finding the time for the odd Firefight mini as I prep stuff for the club's big Pirate games day next month:






Plague "Beasts/Swarms", or "Runners" in the vernacular of the fluff I've got brewing. They can be fielded as a unit or as attachments to infantry squads, hence the lack of a round number.

GW Ghouls, I had a box from years ago.

Last weekend saw my local club's annual Open Day, Ian ran a Firefight demo table with his Asterians and Corporation and my Plague and Saurians. The terrain is Ian's work, and the table looks pretty damn cool I think:

Hot Tamale!

Nice table!

Been a little while without major progress, as I've been focused on painting superheroes and Post-Apoc, but things are ticking along again now;


Re-armed some Saurians with some less goofy looking weapons. Two Mercs and one Veteran (centre).

@ Hat Guy, Hi , I was wondering from the photos from the  Firefight demo table above, which company makes the MDF Futuristic Apartment towers in the photos, I seen them some where before and I didn't book mark the web site, and I am keen to buy a couple for my futuristic games, they look great , and don't actually take up to that much of a gaming foot print on the table. If you remember the supplier or web site that would be of great assistance to me and save me getting side tracked and lost in Google land looking at all the different MDF terrain kit makers out there and really blowing my Christmas budget.
Thanks in advance if you remember the site or respond.
P.S look like a great game of Fire Fight.

Hi, great looking stuff!

Is Firefight the Alternative Armies rules or other?

[Marauderman]

I believe that Firefight is Mantic Games small Squad rule set for Futuristic Skirmish Games  , that's set in the Warpath Universe.

Ah Still looks interesting.

[Hat Guy]

Finished up a couple of quick Mortars for tonight's Firefight game against a mate's stunties.



Looking to replace them with something a bit more SF down the track, but these will do for now.

Jonas - Firefight is worth a look of you want something "40K-lite"; about 20-50 minis per side, alternating activations and combat resolved with only two die rolls. Armies are nicely felxible, my only complaint is that the ranges seem short after playing SOTR and FoF.

[Hat Guy]

Finally finished the first complete unit for my next Firefight army, Enforcers.



Enforcer Heavy Weapons team with four Burst Lasers. Kitbashed from quite a few kits.
