40k skirmish - Iron Fists vs. Underhive Scum

[TF Riley]

Last night we had ourselves a game of 40k skirmish. Niels brought his Iron Fist space marines, I compiled a list of underhive scum, number 4 vs 13. We used the community made rules set, In the Emperor's Name. The game was fast played, rules never bogged us down and it was a bloody slaughter, precisely as 40k should be!

Looks like a fun game with some lovely terrain. Your underhive scum gang looks amazing. Any chance of some individual mini shot's of them?

Thank you sir!

Yes, I thought the same right after the post. The weather is a bit grey right now, but I'll see if I can fix some decent shots...

As promised, a group shot of the underhive scum


The whole group.


The right hand lot, these ones are finished, done, ready to be used as cannonfodder


More scum


The special ones - mutant, sniper, cyborg, see


Details on some of the finished models


My original sniper, he got +1 BS in a Necromunda campaign so I have him an owl to represent his improved shooting ability


In the underhive, flamers and shotguns see you well out of most arguments

I've used them as Scavvies mainly and have 2 scalies lying about somewhere, but they can pass as your everyday generic underhive scum.

Next gang I'll complete is my Brats - see here for pics http://thewickedworkshop.blogspot.dk/search/label/Brats

Thanks! The terrain belong to our local club, Rogue Trader https://www.facebook.com/Roguetraderkbh

The propietor Sonny made the terrain, actually it's been done to fit 6-15mm but it works equally well at 28mm.

Some amazing looking mini's there. Really good re-purposing of em4 scavengers. I love the guy in the straw hat with the shotgun. One of my favourite miniatures ever. He was a Rogue Trader for me in an Inquisimunda campaign last year and all his crew were other em4 scavengers. I never did weapon swaps on mine though. I just count SMG's and Assault Rifles as Autoguns, Pistols as Stub Guns etc. 

[TF Riley]

Yeah the EM4-minis are really nice. I picked mine up ages ago, wonder how long they've been on the market - still some of the best scavenger minis out there.

I swapped the pistol 'cause the original was so small and the straw hat fella got the end piece of an old goblin trumphet to make his shotgun a blunderbuss.

Some way down the line I might pick up the rest of the EM4 line, but as any old wargamer I have way too much lead piled up in the drawers to justify new purchases (I do it though, lastly a couple of warbands from the Arcworlde KS).

Very cool. It's what it's all about.

I DL'd ITEN, haven't played it. I take it it's working well for you and your group?

[Diakon]

Nice work I never noticed that blunderbuss on the straw hat guy.

Really nice terrain, almost makes me want to look at 28mm again

I'm not a rules guy and this was my first time trying out ITEN. To be honest, I wasn't blown away but as mentioned, the game was fast played, you only have to keep track of 2 stats, grit and armour save, the rest are modifiers. But the weapons could use a once over, autoguns, shotguns and flamers felt somewhat similar and some of the equipment was hard to find in the rules.

Pros: it played fast and was easy to learn. Cons: lacked depth, especially close combat felt too simple. Scenarios wasn't so detailed but you can easily make up your own.

Thanks! Do it

Thats a cool looking game.  The gang is particularly nice. It has a great mix of figures while still having an identity as a faction.

Great stuff!! Thanks for sharing!
