Here's a new game report! Rebellion is brewing, can the 16th stop general Hyun from making his propaganda speech to the citizens of the Outer colonies?

I read through a lot from your site. There are some very nice stuff. i especially liked The Utopia vision. A small wargaming rpg.

I just have to ask. is there some kind of improvment of the survivors between the scenarios?

Thanks for the kind words! The survivors do get experience points depending on how well they complete the missions, and they get new skills and better stats

I added some Time Lift Security by Crooked Dice to the fold. They've already served their role as generic security forces in a game of Utopia - AAR forthcoming!





C&C welcome!

Love the colour scheme!

Time for a new AAR, in which the troopers assault a research facility:

We used a bunch of Space Hulk tiles with Flying Lead rules, and it worked a treat!

After two months of silence, I'm happy to report this project is still alive. For a while I just lost interest in painting - I guess that happens to every one every once in a while! Anyway, here are two newly painted minis, both Heavy infantry from Pig Iron.





I used the casualty miniature to test the colour scheme. I wanted something very down to earth, so used a combination of browns and grays. In order to keep them from not looking too monotonous, I added a simple vertical stripe camouflage. Another reason for the simple camo choice was that I wanted to keep these guys quick to paint. A lot of both models is painted using drybrushing and washes, with scratches in the armour and the camo adding extra detail. The casualty won’t be based, I just put him on a base to ease photography.

A special mention must go to the flag patches. To go with the typical “opposing force is always red” mentality, I was about the make the flag red as well. Luckily I decided to ask a non-gamer friend what she thought would look cool. “Maybe try green, with some yellow?” she said, and that I did. I love how it turned out, as the green really pops from the muted overall look.

C&C welcome!

Ohhh I like this. The Time lift security mini's are interesting indeed.
Do you have a link?
Nice job painting all this stuff. I have been a fan of the Dawn of Lead for some time now and visit often.
The Predator jungle table you set up is pretty cool as well.

Since you're in the states, (and in fact in the Midwest) try looking at Noble Knight Games for Crooked Dice. That's where I picked up my Time Lift Security.

New to this thread and I must say it's Great painting and scenery

Three more troopers for the Outer Colony Heavy infantry. Like the previous ones, they're Pig Iron miniatures. Still a pleasure to paint!



Four more to go and I'll have a full squad of eight.
