Mercs’
Frothing rabidly by the prospect of 15mm post-apocalyptic battles, I got to work with some modelling and painting. I rummaged around and found some un-used Flames of War British infantry and a pile of bits to create a small mercenary force of 16 infantry (including a couple of “EMP support guns”). A quick trip to the local hobby shop got me a pair of vehicles too.
I didn’t do anything special with the basic infantry, and now kind of wish I didn’t do the standard brown / khaki, but I’m not changing it!
Some of my Mercs, with unpainted bases...
The EMP Guns I have decided will be excellent at disabling vehicles and robots (really good when I get my “terminator robots”) but terrible at harming humans. I made them from Flames of War figures and Warhammer 40,000 Tau guns.
My EMP support teams - with huge guns!
The vehicles have heaps of bits stuck all over them. As I was looking at the van it kind of reminded me of the A-Team van, so it got an appropriate paint job and the combi-van with flame thrower got a matching look. I really like my combi-van with the massive fuel tank!
The Command Van
The Flame Combi
Now I am off to make some terrain while I wait for my new models to arrive.

Okay, 1.5 hours until November is over. I think I kinda cut things close. But I have had an OUTRAGEOUSLY productive month. Here is my tally of successes; FU – the free universal RPG Come With Me If You Want To Live – the boardgame we bashed out in 2 hours at Iron Game Chef,

I am christening this month National Game Design Month (NaGa DeMon). When I proposed this idea I thought of it as an alternative to NaNoWriMo, something for non-noveling game fans to do during November. BUT WAIT! It turns out, you don’t have to write a novel to participate in NaNoWriMo.
The Green and the Tan

The Green and the Tan are fast-playing and fun miniature battle rules to use with plastic army men – you know, the cheap toy soldiers you get from discount stores! Easy for new players to get involved quickly, without having to worry about detailed army lists or complex charts, but detailed enough to provide veteran players

I have been busy over the Christmas break, doing the family thing, recording the odd episode of Here Be Gamers! and writing games. It seems that whenever I get more than two days off in a row my mind gets all creative and I just can’t help myself. I have written a simple fantasy RPG

As summer begins to warm the Earth (here in the Southern Hemisphere, anyway) and the silly season of Christmas shifts into high gear, and thoughts turn to holidays, relaxation and the coming new year, I thought it would be timely to reflect on the year that has been and the year that is fast approaching.

I love these minis! I rarely game in 15mm usually it’s fantasy with the Hoards of the things rules. This apeals to me! What ruleset you going to use?

I am an old GW guy from way back, but 15mm are so quick to paint and very cheap compared to 28mm sci-fi and fantasy stuff. We are using a set of rules written by myself (based on the Conquest of the Lost World rules posted about earlier). These are almost done and do actually create a quick, enjoyable game. I will be posting more details in the not too distant future, so stay tuned!

GW just takes the biscuit when it come to price! The quality of the minis these days is very good though. I buy some of thier LOTR stuff and WHF stuff for my pathfinder game. I stopped playing thier rulsets after they kept out dating all my (Very expensive) books. I find myself drawn to ww2 at the moment.
