Latest Project: Outrider Game

 

Its been some time since I blogged been really busy but from today onwards I am going to try and blog at least twice a week about what ever gaming stuff I am working on planning on to do or other game related

This project came about from seeing a Kickstarter project that was trying to bring a 10mm scale road kill game into the market.

It brought back memories of Dark Future that my mates played back in the day as I never got into Car wars like the rest of my friends did I was to hooked into WH40k and WHFB to see any other type of game.

Well I was backing that project until I found Outrider Car Game.
you can find a copy here $5USD to buy and you can then print it out at your leisure.

or try this site:

The game rules aren’t to complicated like some of the Car battle games that were made in the 80’s and its a game that could be picked up and played with the kids. If you’ve played the game like X-wing or Wings of war/glory then this game will be simple for you to get your head around and play.

Each Vehicle can fit into a standard type of car, truck or van. You can customize each one by deciding on how strong or weak the different sections are. You can choose which dice you want to allocate to the four areas are. The lower dice are either rookie drivers, small engine, light or no armour, and/or lightly armed compared to the high end dice choice where your a lone wolf who is very experienced and has massive amount of armour and a Big block engine and a gun that he is over compensating for. 
You allocate the dice amount to each area as follows:
Engine: D6, D8, D10, D12
Driver: D6, D8, D10, D12
Armour: D6, D8, D10, D12
Weapons: D6, D8, D10, D12
Movement is done by placing down movement cards much like how Wings of War/Glory work.
You have a certain amount of Action points to use per turn and the amount is derived from what engine you have. Also you have three attack tokens to use per turn. I am going to have a game at the end of the week to show how the game is played and see how the kids like it will go into more detail then but for now here are the cars we converted up.. the kids helped with the weapon configuration and colour scheme and I painted them up and glues the weapons on..

Sin Eaters:
Misfits, Rejects, atheists, and the forlorn have gathered together each one blames the Church for the wars and the ends of days. Some are truly evil others are just lost...

Envy:

Greed:


Wrath:



United Road Workers:[URW]
The back bone of America these men and women were those responsible for the repair and construction of the many highways. Now they protect what they can and keep it open for all to use.

The Foreman:


Road Hazard:


Strike Fire:



Angel's of the Apocalypse:
The remnants of the Church have banded together to protect those that can not protect themselves. Some say they are touched by God other's by insanity and delusions.

Fire of God:


Divine Right:


Heaven's Might:



Red Star Rangers:
What's left of those who were the law enforcers. These brave men and women risk it all to bring peace and stability to the regions they patrol.

Pirate Goblin Box Set Indiegogo UPDATE II

 

$2,993
Raised of $2,500 Goal

29 days left

Update From Bruno

based on popular demand the set of dice if now available as a separate purchase for all existing funders. the dice will be green with a pirate goblin head replacing the "1" side. I'm finishing the mock-up and will post it today or tomorrow on this page.
If you want a set of 6 dice just add $10 to your perk (there is no need to cancel the existing one, just add $10 and it will be fine). The set will be sent with the miniatures post free worldwide !
For those who want more than 6 miniatures you can also choose to add more miniatures to your perk, any funder from the $30 level can add 1 miniature by adding $4 to his order, and of course you can do it as much as you want (you'll be able to choose individually which ones you want at the end of the campaign).
In the same vein if you change your mind and want more miniatures you can adjust your pledge at any time (for example if you opted for 1 set à $30 and finally decide that 2 sets would be better you just have to send the difference, that is $20 and tell me so in the survey at the end of the campaign).
I will send a survey at the end of the campaign so that you can detail what you exactly want based on the amount spent.
There are more stuff in the work but it seems that the summer heat makes all things longer than usual to be done !
======================================================

Just a reminder what the next goal will offer us:

If I manage to collect $5,000 then each miniature will be provided with a round 25mm resin scenic base instead of a bland plastic slotta base. This will apply to all perks containing miniatures, even the random one. All complete sets will then be in a collectable card box with exclusive art.
From this point the box set wil include your name (or nickname) as a supporter and will be signed by me.
I'll add to this a set of 6 exclusive green 6 sided dice with a pirate goblin head on one side (design to come) !

So we now need to get $2,007 then we get the new bases and a set of dice [I am going to buy a set regardless, and add at least three more gobbos to my band. one each of the generic looking ones,]

A big thx to those who have supported this project so far. With 29 days still left we will see many more goals and offers come our way. If there is anything anyone wants to let me know and I'll see if I can find out the answer.

Cheers

ACW Project 5th Update

It was time to add the flags to my previously painted units. I only use one flag per Regiment/Brigade. I got the flags from:
The Wargame Vault

A full unit can be 2 stands to 4 stands. [a stand = 1 base]
I only use flags for the lead stand.

I printed the flags on to adhesive paper and saved the hassle of using glue. It took me a bit of time to get the fit right but I got it down now.

Here is an example of the Union:

Here is an example of the Confederate:


Also here is a scale comparison:

Will post more as I paint them.

ACW Buildings from Total Battle Miniatures

 

Gettysburg Seminary:

Assorted Buildings: Resin


Assorted Buildings: Resin


Assorted Buildings: Resin


The Town set up: A flexible resin tile is used.


Dirt Roads: flexible resin.


Rail fences: Metal


Snake Fences: Metal

Overall these pics do not do the Buildings any justice [add it up to my failing as a photographer]
These minis are not cheap but are not overly expensive. The detail is amazing and as I really wanted the Gettysburg Seminary [It will be part of my 1st day battles of Gettysburg]
The service was good with no hassles. For international buyers the quoted postage cost is for overland NOT air mail. You will need to pay extra.
but its not much more. so its all good. I am rather nervous about painting these buildings I have never used Resin terrain before and its all quite new. they did provide me with an in depth painting guide. The good thing about ACW buildings is the patchier the painting the better, [eg weathered]
I'll post pics once I get them started.

Pirate Goblins Box Set ~ at Indiegogo

 

French designer who has decided to use indiegogo as Kickstarter is not available in Europe yet.

http://www.indiegogo.com/pirate-goblins?c=home

These Gobbos would be great for the Cutlass game or even Mordheim.
and at $30USD for the first 5 [the additional 6th gobbo is added once they reach the target] which also includes worldwide postage is a BARGAIN!!!!
only thing you need to beware is that payment is upfront. its not like kickstarter where the money is taken once the project is funded. This one the money is taken when you pledge your level. so this particular project is more of a pre-order but we are hoping we will get to see more of these awesome pirate goblins.

Cheers

ACW Project 4th Update

Here is the start of the Confederate Army:

Currently painting up some Confederate Artillery, and Cavalry. Will update once these are done. Been asked to show how I paint up 6mm miniatures so once the Cavalry and artillery are done I’ll do a stage by stage progress on the next Confederate Infantry I do.
Cheers

ACW Project 3rd Update

 

Well I finished my Union Napoleon Cannons and also added in some Tokens.

Napoleon Cannons:

K.I.A Tokens:

I have made them rather bright so they stand out more on the battlefield.
I tried them darker but they just didn't "pop" or "Stand out" so I made them brighter and you can see quite easy that these have dead troopers.
Will be adding a whole heap more of these tokens once I get more casualties. Adler Miniatures don't have any mounted Casualties anyone know where I could find some 6mm versions?
I have started painting up the first of the Confederate units, should have it done tonight, also undercoated 6 Napoleon cannons, and a unit of Confederate Cavalry.
Will post more pics once these have been done.

Cheers
LGW

ACW Project 2nd Update

 

Well I got Buford’s Union Cavalry done last night and here is the finished unit:

The Union army is coming along nicely ALOT more to come but after I get the Union Napoleon Cannons done I’ll start onto a Confederate force.

Will post more pics soon.

My ACW Project

 

After many years waiting I have finally taken the plunge and dipped my fingers into 6mm American Civil War.

The Rule set I’ll be using is American Civil Warmaster.  Basically its the Warmaster rule set tweaked to fit with the ACW period.
I am currently painting up the Union army first well a small force of them for starters then I will start onto the Confederate army.

I am going to be starting off with the first day of the Battle of Gettysburg.
In the process of painting up Buford's Cavalry, both mounted and dismounted, more cannons but Napoleon short ranges cannons. Once these are done it will be onto the boys in grey.

Here is the start of my project:

Union troops from the V Corps 1st Division. The defenders of Little Big top.


Union Rifled Cannon Brigade. Used against Picketts Charge on the last day.
 
Union Iron Brigade. Some of the first troops to engage the Confederates.

This project will not be a quick one with over a thousand troops to paint not including all of the officers, Cavalry, cannons and Terrain its going to take a long time. But its going to be well worth the wait.

All my ACW miniatures are from Adler Miniatures.

I also got sent some ACW terrain from Total Battle Miniatures. These sweat resin buildings, metal fences will be awesome to use. I also got the rubber roads and tile set for me to make up a town to represent Gettysburg and the Seminary as well.

I’ll post pics of these buildings soon. Once I get the Cavalry done will post pics.

Cheers

Cygnar Colossal Unboxing !!!!!

Here’s my newest addition to my Cygnar Armies. The Mighty STORMWALL!

The Packaging:

The Contents:


The Planning Stage:

The Gluing has Commenced:


The Final Stage:


Size Comparison:

Hunter Light Warjack, Sentinel Light Warjack, Stormclad Heavy Warjack

This was a pleasure to construct [most likely due to the size of it] I have the Khador and Cryx Colossal’s on pre-order and once the Merc one comes out it shell be mine.
I’ll post pics of the painting and how it comes out. Only thing is I am going to have to do some re-touches on my Warjack horde so they match the Stormwall.
happy gaming guys
