My Victory Decision - Future Combat army: NEW Added Deathdealers p4

[Achilles]

I painted this army almost five years ago and it has never seen the gaming table. After downloading Agis' ruleset yesteday I was pleased to see I could convert this collection of models almost seamlessly into VC-Future Combat.

A bit of quick math has informed me I have several thousand poins worth of models painted. Now I just need to find an OpFor to set up some games against!

Anyone know a good supply of Confrontation/At43 bases so I can match them?

So here are the UNA 6th Infantry Battallion - Argo Company, Force Recon 'The Dark Stars'

The storied history of the Dark Stars reaches back to the first encounters with the massive planet-ships of the precursor race known as the Therians. The 6th Battalion's A Company has long been trained in forward deployment and 'tip of the spear' tactics. Infiltration and the use of silenced solid-round weaponry is standard for all members of this handpicked section of the 6th.

The details of their battle-record would make even the veterans of other units skeptical as to their veracity, but they have returned time and again from near suicidal deployments. Questions on how they survive might arise... if those records were not sealed with the highest possible security protocols.



Captain Bryce Sweren - C/O MCS Command Section





1st Squad MCS Infantry Squad with Medic, EW Specialist, 2 x Laser Assault Weapons





2nd Squad MCS Infantry Squad with Medic, Guided AT Missile Launcher, Light Chain Gun





3rd Squad - Forward Section MCS Infantry Squad with Medic, Spotter, Flamethrower, Infiltration



4th Squad - TacArms Hardshell Power Suit Squad with Advanced Targetting and Laser Assault Weapons



Light Armour Recon Section - Medium Walkers with Light Laser Cannons, Enhanced Mobility



Mobile Support Section - Heavy Walker with Heavy Guided Rocket Pack, Auto Cannon


Anyhow, hopefully I can build a suitable OpFor in the near future and give the game a go!

A fantastic looking force, lovely work on the basing.
It's a pleasure for the eyes to see them all together like that.

I always thought that the AT43 figs were great sculpts and it was a great shame they never released them in a different material in an unpainted version.

[Achilles]

With the exception of the Therians. They did release a resin of a few of them for a premium price.

My only regret is I never got the UNA Fire Wasp Jeeps that were in resin for a really brief time. They were ace (if you got all the pieces for the crew and laser cannon).

If I get the chance I may add a bit to this force. The Fire Crawler is still available on Miniature Market. What I'd like to get is some Wing Troopers (Jump infantry) and Deathdealer TacArms (with the Machine Guns) so I can field cheaper Hard Power Suits. I'll have to scrounge for those however as they are fairly rare now.

I spent a few hours deciphering how I painted them and it looks as though I've still got all the colours, so additions may be a reality!

[Achilles]

I should note the 'Fire Wasp' is still available as a simple chassis HERE.. They've removed the gun and crew for IP reasons I suppose.

Ah well!

[hubbabubba]

The fire wasp jeep was bought up by another company and is still available.
I'm scratching my head trying to remember who had it, if I find it I'll let you know. Failing that I've got a hunch that Dwartist might know if you want to drop him a line.

I managed to get hold of a una pilot and the Therian overseer in resin, and a limited edition version of the RedBlok pilot in metal, but like you said, horribly expensive for what they are.

Good look with the death dealers.

Edit: you ninja'd me while I was typing )

[Achilles]

My google-fu is strong!

I'm keeping my eye on the Bazaar and Bartertown to get my hands on the odds and ends. I'm sure they'll turn up.

I'd really like to get my hands on some ONI now as my OpFor... especially because Agis was kind enough to include Zombie rules!

[Ajsalium]

Another option for a Fire Wasp HERE.

[Achilles]

Thanks for the link! I could likely butcher some UNA crew to get bodies and heads to snazz up the crew. Still a bit steep for the size though.

[underfirewargaming]

Great work on those guys man!, really a great looking force!

[Achilles]

Thanks man! I'm scrounging a bit looking for old paints and more figs. I'll hopefully have more soon.

[nic-e]

These look great, amazing work.My only complaint is that now there are less of those walkers in circulation for the rest of us   

[Achilles]

Oh I think you could cruise over to Miniature Market right now and get plenty of them on the cheap. Both Defender Snakes and Fire Toads are still there and priced way below original MSRP.

Cheers for the tip, il have to see how shipping works out but it looks promising.
I like the scheme they have going of selling unboxed models and then selling the shipping containers separately, very clever.

[Achilles]

Yeah at $15 a pop! I cleaned out my FLGS at $5 a pop when the company went under. I managed to get 52!

[Agis]

Oh, this topic makes me very happy!
If you read my Design Notes this IS exactly what I had in mind while writing the rules.
So big thanks if seeing this goal become a visible reality!

I might have these, I will search my plastic pile tonight and PM you!

And, as said on another thread - As far as stats for different units go, I can not provide 40K, AT-43 etc. stats for obvious IP violation reasons.
I CAN however give feedback, points values etc. on stuff YOU create.
