Just a few new things;

First, now comeing into the 1900's, A German LandDreadnought, The SMS Das Munster

And, upon (politely) raiding a friends collection of....well.....heads, random arms and grenade packs still attached to sprews, for hats, I completed a platoon of Hat Tanks.

And some rice men

Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

I love the Land Dreadnaught

And the hat tanks! I think I commented on the rice-men elsewhere.

What rules are you using for your 2mm battles, again?

'Land Ironclads' by Wessex games. I bought them from here:
http://www.brigademodels.co.uk/Frames/VLI/index.html

A really good, fast and easy to understand set of rules, highly recommended.

Ta

I think I might have to have a bit of a look to see if I can pick this up after Christmas and the New Year.

Thanks Mr. Keeper.

I must say that I am at a dead end for ideas at the moment though, I cant think of anything I dont have, and looking accross the landscape of my desk, I cant see anything that looks like a LandIronclad.
I think perhaps next I will buy some small Dinos from the £1 shop in my town, and just see what happens.

All the best

They're just awesome, Mr Marx

Did you buy any of these, or are they all scratch-built from bits?

Don't listen to him! I'm told the ships are risk counters...

AH, there you are right, those ships are out of a bord game that was some kind of fake version of Risk.

Verrrry interesting!

I was interested in getting this game when it came out (Salute last year) and I still am, but Panzerfauste kinda got in the way... Again... Seems to be a running theme!

I'll see what I can do AT Salute, hopefully it won't sell out again when I get round to going to the Brigade Models store...
Or if I don;t spend all my money at the Alternative Armies stand.

Oh dear...

Your conversions are excellent, truly inspired. Seems quite easy to make stuff for it. Also, 2mm, cheap! Excellent. No complaints there then!

I really, really woudent worry about the monitary side of things. I love Brigades' Land'clad models, but personaly I find the most fun thing about this game the scratch building. Its just so darn easy at this scale.

haha.
yes your scratch builds certainly are inspiring, but I lack the materials for such things.
Perhaps I could do the helmet ones and the drills, or some stuff similar to thos,e but I have no ships at all!
But yes, 2mm is an excellent scale to work with. I'm thinking of doing an Olympian army as they seem to be the least popular...
