First..spend no money (it's an apocalypse you know)

[Chimpfoot]

Thanks guys encouragement goes a long way .

Hubbabubba: you're right test team are all copplestone range. The zombies are 'the infected' from pig iron productions.

The other operatives are made from anvil industries 'regiments infantry' range. Too many choices to post (check out their website) all resin parts and full kits plus shed loads of optional extra goodies. Just like to say that their products are some of the best I've used and I don't think I've ever waited longer than 48 hours from ordering to arrival. Great company ethic.

The other monsters are from 'deep madness'. Not a game I've played but was able to pick up a bunch of the miniatures from an ebay seller.
Really scratch my lovecraft itch.

Hope this helps
Cheers for now

Thanks, I'll check them out.

Happy Easter all

Finishing touches done to the test crew (replacing the copplestone
Standins)

Might have to call the leader Whistler? No? Just me again then.

Cracking work. I like that one of them is ready to at least go into the grocery store, given our current protocols   

[Chimpfoot]

And the badguys, plus boss WIP

Eggs and mutants for everybody!

Cheers for now

Yes with a kneckerchief and a desert eagle, fights for toilet roll can get really hairy.

If you want  to score TP bring the rest of your team for fire support.

Nice work on these figures.

Hello all

Managed two more play tests before the brain started to over load with corrections, rewrites and new ideas.

Behind the mining camp our heroes (now wearing their anvil industries personas) move into the storage yard looking for any portable items.

Mutants start spawning and game one turned into a bloodbath, three dead and 2 salvage markers stowed.

Second game much quieter on the spawning rolls, 1 injured and 4 salvage markers lifted.

Thoughts:
1) exploding 12's on attack and wounding rolls are not needed, letting off a few rounds from a pistol can feel like an artillery barrage with a few lucky rolls.
2) Armour saves needing looking at they are all or nothing especially with the above, rolling seven dice consecutively or all together is too much for a solo game.
3) should salvage markers be auto pickup seeing as some characters will only get one action on a number of turns.
4) introduce some form of random spawning perhaps within the activation roll. Maximum actions equals more monsters?
5) 1 free melee attack if model is moved into base2base contact? Some models just stood there holding hands as they had run out of actions.

So plenty to think on and do...couple of shots from the action.

Cheers all

Those all look excellent. Thanks for the inspiration.

Squeaked in another Sector12 playtest.

With the few tweaks play was far more fluid, still when you roll no armour when visiting the quartermaster on your way in then you're gonna struggle. Hand2hand is unforgiving in t-shirts but shouldn't be?

Heavy hitters took the brunt of the mutants and paid for it, but Hitch proved his worth as the lowly Greenwing, sweeping up the salvage markers and was rewarded with a smg for his trouble. Only he made it off the board alive, New after mission recovery rolls brought the rest of the crew back at the cost of a medical kit but good rolls yielded 2 bullet proof vests. So more firepower, a few advancement rolls and the up armour should stiffen the team for the next mission.
Gonna stick with them through playtesting (if they survive) so they will need a name.
Ladies and gentlemen...the Muleskinners.
Onward to adventure!

Few shots for on the game
Cheers all
