Old Mini......New Paint Job.... "Fist of Anubis" added

[Pappa Midnight]

I found this mini in the bottom of my bits box, chipped and unloved so I decided to give it a new lick of paint.
I think I got a few more of the VOR Pharon around somewhere.......If only I could remember where I put my rule-book?

awww I freaking loved that game, used to do a Union, Neo Sov and was looking at the pharon when the company went under

[Agis]

Me too!
I had Neo Sovs and Pharon!
(see:http://www.adpublishing.de/html/vor.html)

Nice paint job BTW!

Now I know why they remind me of GW Necrons...

The Pharon background is way cooler! And was there before the Necrons were even mentioned anywhere...

Sorry! I'm still unable to break free of the Emperor's Shackles and leave this galaxy behind

Nice paint job.

Always liked the Pharon figures and fluff.

Never actually looked at Vor before.
Looks reminiscent of Stargate.....

Looking at the back of the VOR Pharon forcebook  - 2000.

Some of the imagery is similar in that they (Pharon and SG) are both Ancient Egypt + Sci-Fi.

However, in VOR the Pharon (formerly a dead and mummified race, but due to the strange energies of the Maelstrom have been reanimated) are only 1 of the 7 alien factions/themes.

Shiny! Great job. 

I've got a bunch of Union troopers and growlers prepped and ready to paint, but haven't gotten around to actually painting them. Distracted with SuperSystem stuff, I suppose.

Supposedly there will be more, too. Along with better Custom Force rules. VOR 2.0 is in the works, after 10+ years Skuzzy got everything straightened out and has been hammering away at a new edition of the rules.

Which excites me, as VOR was my introduction into wargaming.

Yep. VOR's coming back.

Actually the Necrons made their first appearance in Gorkamorka in 1997 and a free Necron figure was included in WDUK 217 (Februari 1998). Vor came shortly after that.

I've had a look at the game when it was published but it never really took off in the Netherlands and I didn't buy it. It didn't appeal to me that much either. Instead I got into VOID which was also available at roughly the same time and had some connections with Warzone.

All the old Vor models are still available through Ironwind metals:
http://ironwindmetals.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=94&osCsid=d59db86a93dc00fda6563444d3f9341a
And will continue to be available after the eventual release of Vor 2.0 even though they will probaly go with a new manufacturer.
