The water is crumpled napkin!! You've got to be shitting me! I was rolling dice on it the other day and I thought it was a commercial piece.

Please come round and build terrain for me.

But could not make the sickle yield."

Glad you like em, mate!
 :)

As for BP's for all the teams: I dont know them off the top of my head.
Most teams are between 25-35 pts, so plenty of scope for all kinds of nastiness.
 :D


I will put up a list of the various Division's service records later, though.

Absolutely epic stuff there...I love the docks and what you did to make that water (gonna steal that idea...maybe). I also love those wooden walkways, did you make them yourself?

Thanks, James!

Glad that you like the water.
Another tip, if you are going to give it a go-
Rip the napkin so that there are no straight edges.
Straight edges are a right git to hide if you dont!
 ;)

On the subject of the walkways, they are from this fella:
http://www.shiftinglands.com/modular%20docks.htm

He goes by the usernamr Geboom on here, but I dont think he has posted for a while.
Loads of great stuff and ideas on his site.

Making them yourself would be easy enough, I suppose, with either balsa wood or coffee stirrers.
Or both...

Ah, I've been to that site before...forgot about that one.
Making stuff myself? That's not a really good idea, everything alway turns out looking like crap when I'm done with it. I'm really horrible when it comes to making scenery myself...I just cant get things right.The water looks amazing and is really easy to do, so eventually I'll have a go at it (I think that even I can do that).

Go for it, mate.
It really is not that difficult, just push the wet napkins around with a stiff brush until they look right.
The rest is just painting it up.

Right, back to subject that was mentioned earlier: The Divisional Records

M.O.O.S.(E). is divided into regional Divisions, with more being founded as and when needed.
They are spread across England, with a Regional Headquarters based in a major town or city in the district, where the team can train, follow leads, perform research and also rest between missions.

There are also two M.O.O.S.(E). teams operating outside of England at the moment.
These are the Ministry of Occult Studies (Scotland), or M.O.S.(S) for short, and the Northern Irish Ministry of Occult, or N.I.M.O.
Both of these come under the operational control of M.O.O.S.(E). for all purposes, including funding, recruitment and the sharing of information.





The regional teams in operation at the moment (and the players controlling them) are as follows:

The Thames Valley Division is based in Oxford (Legionnaire Bert).
One of the more active Division's, the team is led by Aubrey Werther-Minte and has seen plenty of action and, probably, has the highest attrition rate of all the teams. An uncompromising team leader, Aubrey only has one of his original team members left working with him, the slightly unhinged Issac Kite.
This Division has a record of 4 Wins and 3 Losses.



The South Coast Division is based in Portsmouth (Gavla).
A team that saw plenty of action earlier on in the year, with much success, but it has been a quiet district of late. Maybe they have been too successful!
They should be back in action soon.
They have a record of 4 Wins and 0 Losses.



The South Western Division is based in Exeter. (Bullock).
A newly formed team, charged with the moral protection of Devon and its surrounds.
They were impressive in their first outing, with their leader earning some renown for his sword skills.
They have a record of 1 Win and 0 Losses



The Northern Division is based in York (Tom the Bastard).
This team have had a quiet time of late, but had a particularly busy autumn, with Cult activities being prevalent in their district during this time.
They have a record of 4 Wins and 1 Loss.



The South Eastern Division is based in Canterbury (Kitsune).
This Division has been very quiet of late, having formed and seen action, they have not been in the field since.
Maybe they are deep in investigation undercover?
Rumour has it that they will be active soon.
They have a record of 1 Win and 0 Losses



The Ministry of Occult Studies (Scotland) is based in Dundee (smokezombie)
One of the most active teams of late. They went into action with a bang, but then suffered seriously in their second encounter, with every team member, bar their leader who was seriously wounded, Killed In Action.
Now they are one of the largest and most heavily equipped teams in the Ministry.
Their record reads 3 Wins and 4 Losses



The Northern Irish Ministry of Occult is based in Belfast (The Lockswin)
One of the most successful teams on active service, and building a serious reputation for themselves, they are led by Captain Murphy with his Lucky Hat.
Having completed the Doomsday Device scenario, Murphy can expect promotion after a few more wins.
Their record is 6 Wins and 1 Loss.





The Ministry of Occullt Studies (England) is growing rapidly as the threat to the nation has been revealed.
They cannot expect any respite as the insidious threat of the Cult of the Purple-Headed Worm grows and the Mad Asylum start to spread their influence further afield.

Who knows what other threats to the security of the Realm will be unveiled?
Rumours abound but only time will tell...

I love that last post.
Divisional Records. Awesome!
I hadn't realised the far reaching influence M.O.O.S.E actually had.

My own Dundee sources have been hearing some unsetling rumours recently. Captain Dennis Jackson shall be forwarding a complete report to HQ soon.. in the meantime may I suggest you not eat any meat products coming from or passing through our operational area  :-X

Ok, chaps, I am after a few suggestions.

I recently posted this in Fantasy Adventures, for suggestions in how I can use it in my Mordheim project, but now I am more inclined to use it for Strange Aeons:








It was made several years ago but was never used, and has languished in a cupboard for years.
I think that it should work in SA with a little modification.

A few more shots of it:


















Any ideas.....?

Bert's idea about a Club House just clicked with my Piranha Club. Place it in some Evil Marsh of Foul Reputation & paint up your Piranha Boys...now you have an excuse. The Sea Demons might also use it as a daytime hideout.
I'd NEVER join a club that would have me as a member.  G.Marx

Loch Ness Monster?
Wreck off the coast of Innsmouth -  Hereos in boiler suits vs Deep Ones!
Ghost Ship like the Flying Dutchman? You could paint it blue with white highlights.
