Bullshot & Hammers present: Terror Incognita!

[Hammers]

[Hammers]

Dave and I, that is to say Bullshot and Hammers, are pooling our resources to host a game at the 10th jubilee British Lead Adventure Meet next year. This thread will hold our progress as we list and add fluff, rules development, miniatures, terrain, vehicles, propaganda material, scratch builds and perhaps even a test game or two. We have already had a lively and productive discussion via private messages but by the advice of fellow BLAMers it has been suggested we make them public for the entertainment and edification of the greater forum. I suppose not all will be revealed, I think both Dave and I want to put a few surprises on the game board at the actual event.

We are much looking for your comments and suggestions. Given the inventory we've both taken both painted miniatures and contents of our respective lead piles we are well prepared for the task ahead.

Much of the stuff we are going to use can be found in this thread: A Cool Jazz Age journey throw the arctic regions with Hammers

Bullshot is sure to post some of his chaps and gear shortly.

Now I'm curious.

It's still only December and already we have a post tempting me to visit BLAM again

[Silent Invader]

That's a great  poster 

[Hammers]

That's a great  poster 

It's jut one of many Dave and I got inspired by. We will probably make more.

This arrived today:



It is a Matchbox "Models of Yesteryear" Y16 1923 Scania-Vabis chenille, as it was used by the Swedish Kungliga Postverket (Royal Postal Service), especialy in remote northern areas.

I am looking forward to converting and weathering this to be used by the Pytheas Society, which is one of the four factions Bullshot and I are going to field in our game. Beside staining and rusting it up good, I hope I'll be able to make a digital version of the Pytheas Society's logo...



...and make transfers for the sides of the Scania and other vehicles of this scientific expedition. More fluff about the PS will be developed in this thread.

[Driscoles]

I am hooked. I hope I can make it

Be careful of the tracks, they perish easily.

Be careful of the tracks, they perish easily.

I noticed. I will probably glue them in place. I don't really like when invited gamers move my pieces around as if they were toys. My sons excepted.

[Hammers]

I have had these in the pile for quite a while and it was good to have a reason to paint them up. Painting a lot of mutts is not as bad as painting lots of horses, but there is still an element of tedium in it. Converting a few keeps things interesting.

Those of you who know me also know that I can be without animals in the projects I am involved in. The latest addition to our Arctic adventure...



... is a muskox (Ovibos moschatus). It is just a repaint of a plastic toy.

We have plenty of beasts, some will be in play other are just for looks. Walruses, humpback whales, Steller's sealions, polar bears, Greenland seals...

Oh, yes!
 

What a great start.
I am certainly looking forward to seeing this develop and, hopefully, get to play it too.

Absolutely definitely
