After another few days first drafting and in the interests of the new beginnings engendered by this thread I thought I might create a new crew.
So we rotated the Muleskinners back to their home sector and rolled the dice on the crew make up charts.
Two rifles, two smgs, grenades, knives and a med kit later and...hang on no miniatures?
Boy wonder, to the bits box!
Wanted a western trail coat feel to show the flak armour and not having any WYSIWYG rules in Sector 12 it gives quite a free reign to the imagination.
Aha he says, what about the free German sprue from warlord games that the nice fellows at wargames illustrated gave away a while back?
Mmmmm?
Add a dash of the statuesque and we are in the business. Four new Pathfinders equipped in a retro style and ready for duty. Accordingly a little back story would be needed to explain their gear.
The Blackhearts hail from Sector 3 whose entry point into Sector 12 coincided with the partial ruined remains of what appeared to be a ww2 supply dump.
Naturally our plucky quartet was kitted out from its contents.
Nb: Yeah I know technically an assault rifle not a smg but that there is the beauty of no WYSIWYG besides it's a solo game so there's only the AI to complain and no one listens to him.
By the way does anyone out there know if the German army used any kind of combat shotgun? Crossed my mind when I was converting them but don't recall seeing any or any representations of them?
Anywho here they are should be able to get them bloodied during the next few days, new random scenario/campaign generator and all.
More to come
Cheers all
