Putting the sentry guns through their paces.  Three games of notcromunda today.  Using some old Chaos Hound stand ins (i.e. Dark Eldar beasties) for sump creatures.

Thanks, guys.  The three games we did yesterday were the first ones where we put the "event" icon into play - and it was far more interesting.  In this game you're drawing cards to see how many models your activate, etc. - but if there is an event icon on the card you resolve that first.  A simple table lets you do all manner of nonsense, and in these games the sentry guns would automatically engage or sump creatures would show up.

Added a lot of third-party danger to a game where were already fighting each other.  Using terminals on the table you could also try to hack and control the guns and use them on your opponent, etc.

When NPC's are on the table...they're free game to either player.  So the sump creatures become valuable assets.  You end up wasting activations trying to keep NPC's away from your guys - and use them to attack your opponent, while they're doing the same.

Overall, excellent games and very hectic, violent, silly and full of mayhem.

Sorry for the poor photos.

Something about the way your miniatures are painted is very effective. Somehow you make them look both clean and grimy at the same time. And the colours are muted and very visibly. It is a lovely technique.

I am thoroughly impressed.

Yes, that is an excellent point. I quite agree.

I thought the same thing. Nice clean painting, with that worn, faded look. Very nice. I need to learn how to paint like that.

Thanks guys.  I think it's just a combination of my love for desaturated colours (with the exception of a highlight colour like the turqoise lenses, etc.), and I use Army Painter dip on most of my miniatures which give them a sepia tone in addition, etc.

Debating what to build today, might sneak in a few more gangers or go with some fantasy.  We shall see.

Trying to take advantage of some good weather to prime and paint a handful more miniatures before the new year.  Knocked these out last night while watching Lucky Number Slevin.
