VSF Asteroid Game

[Mansworth]

Tested it this morning and the figs still stick to it!

Love it when a plan works

I SEE A FACE IN IT!!!!! 

The man in the Mooooon.

Nice stand idea btw. Definately sturdy enough!!!! 

I really look forward to playing it. I can imagine sitting around it in a group of 4 or 5 like some sort of weird ritual!!!! 

You know, I see one as well, at least, in the second and last pictures. And, there are threads, crossing where the mouth would b...

HORRORS! A ZOMBIE MOON!

I'll get the shotgun.

Actually you highlighted a iffy bit, theres some runs on the ironpowder and they look a bit off putting, so i am re-working those bits to try and limit their visual impact.

I feel ashamed to have caused you further work from my cheap attempt at humor.

I assumed that they were to be fissures that just happened to have that effect on me.

Please forgive my thoughtlessness on your excellent work.

Nah don't worry

Was gonna rework them anyway.

Fridays game with the astroid will focus on the illegal poaching of astroid beasts (wild haggies) by the colonial british and the natives martions trying to put a stop to this thevery.

Pics to follow as it happens

Sounds good to me.

There is a massive beach ball at uni and I am sooooo tempted... 

[Mansworth]

Should do it, then we can have a 2mm planatary planetry conflict!

[rob_the_robgoblin]

Mate, this was big enough to be a 2mm mini planet!!!

Imagine the size of the one you have made, but scale it up to 28mm, perhaps a little bigger. It was gargantuan.

[Mansworth]

So 4- 6 feet?

[rob_the_robgoblin]

aye about 4 or 5 feet.

[Mansworth]

I'm gonna need more paint

[Dewbakuk]

You're gonna need a bigger brush

[rob_the_robgoblin]

Who me?

 

My old art teacher bought me a ruddy huge paintbrush from Cornellison's of London. Awesome art materials shop. Definately my favourite. I painted a few rather large but very controversial media photographs. Don't ask, young stuff. Was rather silly.

The "Deployed" Asteroid:



This is how i think the game will be played (with the base sutibly painted up).

Yes, its a plant pot, and a bluming huge one. The pot will flip right side up and the asteroid sit in it for transporting.

Will give this configuration a go on friday.

Its the morning after the first practical test of the asteroid.

It was a technical sucess but a gameplay failure. I did get some pics, which i will post in a bit. But here are the main lessons learnt:

The Asteroid dose hold the infantry models without a problem.

The Caverly need bigger magnets or better basing, they stuck but only just. The cannon will have the same issue.

The tripod sticks too well, and is too big for the asteroid.

The flowerpot makes the whole thing too low, It works better on a table top.

GASLIGHT dose not work too well on such a small battle field. I may create my own rules for this game.

10 man squads are too big. 5-6 man squads will work better.



Theres proberbly more  but thats my inital thoughs.

But pics coming up soon
