Finally got my Zombies done:



Sorry, I'm a horrible photographer....

Here's also some 'better' pics of my APES





Now I can actually play the game with REAL MINIATURES!! WHOOT!

Once I finish painting up the Dr. Von X family, and that pesky pet of theirs, I can buy the MI13 (and the Fenris objectives!)....

WHO WILL WIN?

excelent paintwork on top figures!!!!!
congrats man

[aircav]

Fantastic work

[cheetor]

Those look really great!

The APE armour is fantastic.  I really like the slight differences in green and brown throught the figures.  How did you do that?  Was it with washes or was it via slick application of paint?

In really like the blue outfit on the zombie with the striped shirt too. 

I have been trying to avoid Incursion for financial reasons but it would only take a moment of weakness for me to buy it.  Is the game itself fun?  How does it compare with Space Hulk if you have ever played that?

Regardless, thats really nice painting on really cool figures. Nice one

Yup nicey nicey.

You do need the objectives though... the complete gaming experience, enjoyed painting them and really capture the mood.

LOL...Well the major difference between the brownish Ape and his green partners is the fact that I painted the Brown one first....and then after about 3 months started the others.  (kinda forgot my mix at that point)....But I did use lots of brown ink as a wash thoroughout the suits, trying to give them a worn and dirty look.


The game is very fun, of course as with almost any game I enjoy, the 'theme' is a big factor for me.  It does play very similarly to Space Hulk, but Incursion has a lot of varying elements, not only in troop types, but the use of what they call 'Battle Cards'.  It adds another layer of strategy to the game.  It doesn't look like they are slowing down on variety either, as the new 'faction' of the British Intelligence (MI-13's) are out now.

I'm planning on making my own mini factions, using some of the other minis I have.  But, I've lots of plans, and very few results...LOL

I'd hate to recommend it if I thought I was going to cause a financial problem, but another great thing about INCURSION is that the board game itself comes with cardboard cutouts....So for the initial 50 dollar purchase price, you can begin playing the game right away.  The minis themselves are not needed (but oh sooooo nice)....

Plus, it's a 'little guy' company....I find myself liking to support those kinds of companies.

Hope any of that ramble helps you decide!

Supervike - those APE suits are fantastic. I love the cigar-chewing guy - excellently done. Like cheetor, I've been very tempted by Incursion, but since I'm such a gaming magpie, I've been doing my best to resist. I have four (maybe five...?) projects that I REALLY want to do (including Star Mogul), so I have to try to budget my time, particularly since my wife and I had our first child just last week. I have a feeling his arrival is going to change my life a little....

Great Incursion stuff - give us some in-game pics when you have them!

[Mr. Burning]

Ace Apes!

The more I see of these minis and hear about incursion the more I feel the need to dip my toe in the water.

They look great regardless.  Thanks for the info.

...Incursion has a lot of varying elements...

Again, thanks for the lowdown.

INCURSION is that the board game itself comes with cardboard cutouts....So for the initial 50 dollar purchase price, you can begin playing the game right away.  The minis themselves are not needed (but oh sooooo nice)....

Im trying not to be a smartass here, but neither I nor I suspect anyone reading a post on the "Lead Adventure Forum" really thinks that cardboard standups will stop them from buying miniatures, do they?   

Particularly when the miniatures are so good and showcased so well by your paint job.

Plus, it's a 'little guy' company....I find myself liking to support those kinds of companies.

Big time.

Hope any of that ramble helps you decide!

It helps to confirm how much I want to buy Incursion.  Whether it helps me to actually decide is another thing...

Thanks!

Yeah, that's a pretty valid point there.....

Maybe that is a good feature to tell them about on 'Cardboard Adventure Forum'....THOSE guys are nuts.....
