ABC Warriors...

would be so awesome to game the Volgan war. Im very interested in what minis you would be using (other than some of the Foundry ones of course)

I´ve got the Warriors basically done (cf. http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=13529.0) and will probably settle for the "second Mars" storyline, so that´ll call for Terran Biohazard Marines (not determined) Clone Soldiers (probably Copplestone Future Warriors, with facial conversions), and maybe a Behemek robot tank. Love that "Merrimack on Tracks" look.

I think you covered most of the weaponry. Automatic weapons, missile launchers, heavy blasters, different types of grenade, laser cannons. Also different types of vehicle mounted weapons like battle cannons, artillery etc.

Id be interested to hear what kind of ideas you had for robots and droids?

Drop me a PM with your e-mail adress, and I´ll send you the PDF (which was further progressed than I remembered it, but sadly turned out too big to append - anyone else interested, you´re welcome, too). I didn´t add special rules for vehicle-mounted heavy weapons, since you could basically use the existing artillery weapons, maybe with some added gizmos for sensors and stuff.

Here´s a concept unit card I´ve done for the ABC Warriors, and I´ll do a similar blank version (without the logo) for general scifi use (and a suitable set of Action Cards, too).

Damn, now you really got me back into it. I think I´ll paint some Kleggs tonight.

Im really liking the woodbine design sci-fi models now, just wish there were more than 4 poses!

I know what you mean! I'd love to see more variety of troopers too.

Just seen this on the 2000AD website.

Im sure any budding fan will have seen it...

WOW

i cannot find anything to say whether this is going to be a tv series, a movie, a game or just a bit of fun.
All i know is that it was cool and inspiring

I´ve seen that one recently, too. From what I gather, it´s only a concept piece at the time being, but there might be more. I´d like to see more of that. Hope they don´t mess it up too badly and provide for a good story, too.

Thanks for the email Christian, a very nice read and lots of work gone into it.

I really like the robot rules. I can see me adding a war droid squad for those pesky Norts!

My love of all things Rogue was rekindled and I had an idea for a similar project after playing rogue trooper on the xbox a few years ago.

Rogue: best bet would be to create your own using catachan, cadian & space marine scout plastics, helm, gunnar and bagman you could easily scratch build/sculpt from the raw materials.

(Doghouse a mate of mine over at WIP forum did a Friday GI Trooper using this idea:)

http://z11.invisionfree.com/Work_In_Progress/index.php?showtopic=6127

Norts: the idea of gashoods and packs would be very easy to do, either using forgeworld renegade IG or just sculpting up the gashoods and using half a flamer backpack per nort. (NAINNNNNNNNN!!!!

).

May do this at some stage but probably not in the forseeable future.

Have all the titan print softbacks and the old Gamesworjshop board game so plenty of reference matieral.

Good luck

The Commander

I won't post any pictures, but have a look at these, under 32mm sci-fi adventurers:

Foundry also do a Southerner, and have a sale on.

Norts are new, not seen those before. 32mm though and always a little 'leggy' from bronzeage.

Anyone ever thought of dooing a 'Bad Company' game? Guess the models would be a little hard to come by...Kano anyways. Hope A.B.C. Warriors is made into a T.V. Show...the fan boy in me would wake up early on Saturday to watch it!!!

RJ · « **Reply #26 on:** October 30, 2009, 05:13:06 PM »

still thinking about suitable models for NORTS and SOUTHERS...

While i love the Woodbine guys,ive been thinking about it and i cant get over the fact there are only 4 poses...

looking at the pig iron heads, how about the Kolony inner guardd heads with GW cadian bodies?

http://www.pig-iron-productions.com/index.php?main_page=popup_image&pID=14

would have to find breathing tanks for their backs though? and modify the weapons... any ideas on that?

The forgeworld renegades are awesome commander vyper but they look too chaos, would be perfect otherwise.

Commander Vyper · « **Reply #27 on:** October 30, 2009, 05:13:41 PM »

Oh that's just great, you got me thinking about starting this up again!

DAMN YOU!!!!!

Go for different factions within the Nort forces:

Chem-sisters
Dust Devils
EMP troops
Infantry
Kashan Legions (Nordland's Elite)
Kashar Legions (Nort warriors)
Lazooka troops
Mortar troops
Nagan Legions (Penal troops)
Navy Sergeant
Undercover Poison-Pollution Agents, known to the Southers as Filth Columnists
Sailors
Scum Legions (Formed by Admiral Torpitz and disbanded after the Fort Neuropa Campaign)
Scum Marines (Named after the Scum Sea)
Sergeants
Shotgun troops
Snipers
Space pirates
Sun Legions (Hang glider troops)
Stammel Riders
Vroogmen (Divers)
Snow troopers
Various Genetic Experiments

Plenty to chose from. I would try GS'ing a good hood head and then cast it up in resin, be perfect for classic 'look'. Never really liked the inner guard heads but could see how they would work though with a little bit here and there. Erm a few other options, (a little cross over from my Halo project) but metal space marine scouts are cheap as on ebay, fully enclosed suits,amours nice and with a headswop the possibilities are endless, (take alook at my Halo thread for some scout shots).
