Another Quiet week

Another Quiet week. I've finished my zombie rules. Just writing a set of scenarios to try out. No models painted, the Dystopian legions stuff is awaiting me to take it on holiday with the family. It's my birthday tomorrow so my wife and kids have bought me since Kingdom of Brittanica knightly order models to take on my friends prussian teutonic knights but whether we didn't see the out of stock when ordering our it wasn't there I've got to wait another week for the re stock then wait for it to be shipped :-(
Hopefully I'll have some painted models in my next post
Have a great week guys

Hello!

Not much done this week work has been very busy. Primered my Dystopian legions starter set. Hopefully will get it painted in next few weeks. Off to great Yarmouth soon so might take a few models with me and paint once the kids are asleep.
Also nearly finished a first draft of my zombie rules finally. Then I'm trying to write a set of,scenarios to use the rules in. Now I need to ebay stuff to make room and raise funds to buy the 15mm models.
As it is my wedding anniversary and birthday in September my wife has bought me some new Dystopian legions models which when they arrive I'll post about.
Have a great day!

Shipping containers!

Finished up these 28mm scale shipping containers last night. Great price at  £1.99 from the guys at black ronin games print them off and stick them together plus you then have the pdf and can print as many as you want!
Please excuse any mistakes on the containers this is not the containers design or anything mainly my ham fisted attempt to put them together. :-)

Another week

Another week, my modelling kinda has stalled mainly because I've painted all the models I had waiting for across the dead earth. The terrain kickstarter I've pledged on finished in a matter of hours so come November I'll have a bundle of new terrain to sort out. Delving into the half finished  miniatures pile I'm going to start on my Dystopian legions stuff. I bought the kingdom of Brittanica starter set so will start these soon. I've also been mulling with the idea of a 15mm zombie game. I love zombie games but haven't found one that deals with fighting a large horde (like Yonkers in World War Z and other battles from the book)  I've wrote a blog about this for. Last night I was putting together a list of models. After a bit of research into British army infantry organisation I'm aiming at having a company made up of three platoons. Hopefully finance allowing I can add some apache helicopter support.
I've found some zombies plus I found a blog about how to make cheap zombie hordes here. So now just finishing up the rules I had made as I keep thinking of things!

Quiet week

Been a quiet week on the modelling front this week. As I've painted all my Across the dead earth gangs and scenery I'm a bit at a loss. I've got some Dystopian legions models to do so I think I'll start on them. I believe on the geek shelves there is also a space marine land speeder and razor back so they will have to go on the list.
In other news the terrain kick starter I blogged about earlier has done phenomenonly well. A requested £500 has so far raised £18,000!! And still has 8 days left. I'm hopefully getting the original building plus a free building and some free extra details :-) also another little building for a few extra quid. Supposed to be delivered November so I'll post some pictures etc up then.

Across the Dead Earth Campaign

My friend and I are hoping to run a campaign for across the dead earth set in a post apocalyptic Smethwick (my home town) so I pulled up a map from Google and laminated it. Next I broke it down into segments or territories for the gangs to fight over. A few territories are down as settlements with names on as when I wrote the gangs bio I mentioned a settlement (the 78th Smethwick Irregulars are based in the Thorns an old sports stadium) Also added surgeons and bars which give bonuses to gangs who own them  (Surgeon gives you access to a surgeon bar let's you hire grunts the cheaper). Each territory has a points value. At the end of every game the gang can add up all its totals and get these points (taxes etc on local population). I've also dotted in the railway lines as I thought in a post apocalyptic world these would become quite popular trade and travel routes. If a gang owns territory that the railway passes through there is a chance you can tax a passing caravan.
There are five gangs to start with, three have settlements and two are moving into the area.
To take territories they have to be adjacent to one already owned,  if it is unoccupied you roll a D6 and might get a bit of loot or attacked by solus!
You can choose to raid or grab territory off another gang. To grab the territory you will need to play a take and hold game where you grab a selected objective with the most gang members (Alive ones!) and be in possession of it and the end of the game. Hopefully we will see how this can campaign goes  :-D

Across the Dead Earth faction 4

Finished my fourth Across the Dead Earth gang. Bought from Dead Earth games the gang are called the Red Claw. I've used the models to make a gang of savages from an area known locally in Smethwick as the Concrete jungle. So naturally the gang is called the Concrete Jungle Savages.

The gangs leader is called Savage Sid. Born and raised in the Concrete jungle Savage became the leader by virtue of him being the loudest and scariest person there. He is known for carrying the head of his last kill around so he has am 'extra' set of eyes.

Clay is possibly the most sane member of the CJS as he just seems to like fighting and spending loot. If Savage needs a dependable ie not insane head for a job. Clay is the man.

Try Again Bragg (inspired and ripped from Gaunts Ghosts a 40k novel) is the gangs heavy support (in a way) he's big brash and a terrible shot. Prompting the nick name try again as nine times out of ten he'll need a second shot.

Woody is the teams assault merchant styling himself on a long forgotten king or  somebody called Slash he read about or possibly just saw a picture of once. 

Thermite is the gangs medic and resident pyromaniac. He has some medical knowledge but mainly suggests cauterizing most wounds!

River is as mad as a box of frogs but as lethal as a box of vipers. Using her small stature she regularly entices passing traders, wanderers and gangs etc into ambushes for the CJS. Where she happily gets stuck in wielding her axe with lethal efficiency.
