Sounds marginally better than AR:SE Worms....

Will leave the title for now.....

See I think that's a winner...

[AKULA]

Anyway....now we've got the difficult dilemma of what to call the rules out of the way.... 

My basic plan is to game the Harkonnen attack so depending upon how big I go with the citadel I'll look at building the outer walls as well.

All of the boards will be 450mm x 450mm so I can switch around or use in scenarios where I don't need the citadel itself.

Worms of AR:SE?

"(Behold,) As a Wild AR:SE in the Desert"? *

I'm so looking forward to see this topic develop. The apes' one looked ace, and Dune is pretty much the only franchise I like better than PotA.

* If you'll excuse the blasphemy.

This is so exciting!
Your projects always thrill and intimidate me. I'm already inspired by the foundation you've constructed.
This is gonna be great!

I LOVE obscurity that I can see through. There's so damn little of it.

I'll be following this topic with the biggest interest. I'm a fan of the novels and the 2 video games (on amiga computer). THe videogame from Cryo (Dune 1) especially inspired me a lot.

What minis will you use to represent Dune characters ?

[Juan]

Very interesting project, and I´m really interested in the figures you are going to use. Dune is, by far, my favourite SF book and movie.

[Elk101]

You don't do things by halves do you? 

I'm sure this will be good.

[AKULA]

What minis  ?

My plan is to continue to extend my generic space-opera figure project (below):

Once Ian has finished the trooper conversions, I've got plans for some hazmat-types plus some characters that could potentially be suitable for sci-fi games.... 

An added (intentional) bonus is that my chosen sculptors - Ian Mountain (sculpts also for Crooked Dice) and Kev White (Hasslefree) have also produced other suitably-sized figures that could be used alongside my own minis with either the right paint job, or head swoops/minor conversions.

Dune shoudl have been called "The further adventures of Duncan Idahoe". SO pleas einclude Duncan! Also, do you not need to make the God emperor? He would be a great objective.

[Sinewgrab]

Very nice start - now we await the rest impatiently.

[redzed]

chosen sculptors - Ian Mountain (sculpts also for Crooked Dice) and Kev White (Hasslefree)

one of whom is seriously underrated and the other is seriously undersized.

SO pleas einclude Duncan!

Yes please include Duncan!

The more I look at this the more it rekindles those old ideas of mine to do a vertical gaming "board". I remember the one back in WD years ago that was about 2m high!
