Great to see what comes out of junk shops. A nice conversion project that I look forward to seeing completed. Could have used this in my last game vs the dastardly Prussians... please post to Australia on completion!

Good use of 40K leftovers [I refuse to call them "bitz"]. I have a load left from my son's Space Marines and you've given me some inspiration on using them.

Like everyone else, I'm looking forward to seeing the completed beastie  :)

Painting's coming along well gents. It looks MUCH more VSF when not camo green.

Well done CF! You have a mighty fine looking model there and I bet you'll have hours of fun with her.

She's not exactly my idea of VSF, but then again it's such a personal thing and everyonehas different views on what makes perfect VSF anyway.  :)

I look forward to a nice big pic-heavy battle report soon!

Thanks guys! I had great fun with the bridge. The captain is actually standing on a persian rug,  and the controls work well for VSF. I should take a better picture, but there is a loud speaker system where he can yell orders to the gun crew and the stokers. My only regret is that my photography skills are so lousy....

Chairface,

That was a really fun game! It was an eight player game with Prussians and Russians taking on a ragtag force of Americans and Brits. Ricco wrote up some great rules that were fast, fun and bloody. Havoc was classified as a heavy walker with two Heavy guns and a machine gun on top. Strong, but not impossible to take down. She faired pretty well. Had a bit of trouble actually hitting anything for quite a few turns. The captain is going to have to do a few more drills to get the gun teams up to snuff..... Lost the machine gun early on in the game, and had a few crew deaths and breakdowns, but I was able to do some damage. I was facing a force of Prussians on the left flank and kept them from their objective of breaking through to our side of the table. Ultimately Sterling Moose won the game for the Russians and Prussians, but it was still a moral victory for the Havoc.:)

I was really impressed by the quality of the models on the table. Sterling Moose's Spider Cossacks and Dan's Prussian vehicles were incredibly sweet (I'll post pictures soon!). Thanks for a great game Ricco!
