That is a great looking layout. I'd love to hear more about the game, too.

Wow, great table and terrain. Love your weathering effects on the Marx cars. I would like to hear a battle report, too.

 Ask and you shall receive  :)

We actually played two small games using Kitrok's MEST rules.
Available for free here:
http://sites.google.com/site/mesttactics/downloads

Each player had 500 points which also just happened to equate to 5 models for each player.

The first game "Supply Dump" had some flaws in the scenario (we had never tested it before). I had a huge advantage and won by a huge landslide because of it. Kitrok has already started a rewrite. The Defender had to defend objectives represented by the star symbol markers.



The next game was a common scenario we've played many times and for some reason I can't think of the name of it right now.  ;D
For set up, players basically took turns placing models no closer that 8 base sizes (and out of LOS) of enemy models, anywhere on the board. This really speeds up play and the action gets started almost immediately.

I tend to keep my models closer together so they can support one another and benefit from their Leader model(s). This can sometimes make me vulnerable to Area effect attacks like explosives.
Kitrok tends to spread his models around which leaves him vulnerable sometimes.

My barbarian princess quickly exploited the situation and took out one of his "spread out to thin models" with my Barbarian Princess.



Kitrok's most effective attack was a dynamite lob over a trailer some of my models were hiding behind:



I managed to kill his Leader which sort of sealed the deal for my victory.



Game two was a closer game, but I managed another victory.  :D

Kitrok's really looking forward to any and all feedback for his rules.
Be nice or be cruel.
One of his concerns is that people are immediately turned off by his different ways of reading dice results.

Feel free to send him an email, PM, or comment here:

Thanks Luckjoe and Mattblackgod.  :)

Here's close ups of 10 of the finished EM-4 models.











I don't want to bombard the thread with too many minis at once, so I'll post more later!

Really like the game reports.
So many great minis.
Will really take a good look at the MEST rules.
I have plenty of figures to play.
I did a quick look over of the rules and liked what I saw.

These look great and very nice bases, too. The first guy on the left looks like his aiming laser is actually glowing.

Thanks Luckyjoe!

I tried to do fancy light reflections on the goggles and glasses on all of the miniatures, but it didn't work out.

I've been really busy at work and haven't had any time.  :'(
I have a bunch of terrain based and primed patiently awaiting paint.
Here's the last of the EM-4 close ups I completed a week or two ago.









And a couple repainted clix.
