The Wargaming Fairy Cometh

Right another quick update(I really need to make more of an effort with the blog but I shall not beat my self up other it). Had another game of Firewall 2136ad on Friday(pic below). I had intended to do a battle report but I kind of got very involved in the game.
It was quite a fun game, once again it involved some guess work and additional rule but we had a really fun game. Poor dice ruling on my behalf contributed with the /Trafford Industries hired hit squad out to kill famous scientist Kewell.
Right up until the last few turns it looked like Trafford were going slaughter all the guards and manage to take Kewell and or kill him. But then with a sudden flourish of critical successes on my behalf I managed to push back and kill the would be assassin's.
It was a fun game all round and once again proved the systems worth, whilst simple and having a few things that needed improvisation and a few of own rules mixed it provided an enjoyable evening's worth of gaming.

Then this morning I got woken up as we were expecting a mattress to be delivered to be told there was a present on the table for me. So trudging downstairs in a sleep ridden haze i found a box..

And in it I found a mass of early war French infantry, for my latest bout of shiny syndrome Flames of War early war French. So these combined with a handful of other bits from Peter pig and a small order from skytrex should give me enough to play a few 600pts games.

Hmmm finally found my phone cable and uploaded the pictures I had planned to post this on thursday. Ahh well off to partizan tomorrow for work and a small bit of shopping.

Firstly there is a new grendel album yey!

Which is quite fitting for the game we just played, Firewall 2136ad by Wessex Games Cyberpunk delight... The battle report will be up in a few days I need to grab my phone cable of a mate after I left it in draw in his house after a party.(I may have been a little intoxicated and putting it in a draw seemed safe).
Played the first game of Wessex Game's  Firewall 2136ad and for a system that seems so simple it was deceivingly detailed, gripping and fun! We will be making a few changes to the scenario and adding a few things to the rules when we play the scenario again next week.
!Still all in all we had a fun game (and even after a few glasses of wine the games works), and we have had a lot of ideas for more scenarios and additional rules..

I went to Salute and all I got was this lousy...

No not a T-Shirt or mug, my pennies were spent elsewhere. Sadly I have no pictures from salute due to being rather busy(that and my phone decides that life isn't worth living if I take a single picture discharges it's battery almost instantly).
Some lovely bit's from hasslefree all fantasy as I am really in the mood for ramping up my little fantasy project, so I hope to have these undecorated by the end of the week.

Kalee, Vladim, Troll Slayer and (shock horror) a non kev white sculpted mini Markus (this is actually one of my favourite HF sculpts he will make a good not-dark brotherhood assassin and or rogue.
Service even though they were packed was excellent.

Next I picked up the two Governance of Technology Technicians from Antenociti's Workshop very nice figures though it appears the male (Tpea114) has no gauss carbine I haven't opened it to check properly yet though.

Oh and I also got a free sprue from Mantic something to play with at a later date.

New Year, New Attempt

Right well as we are well into January and the new year. I figure I may as well attempt to kick-start this blog again and bring it back from the dead.

I figure I'll use this to post up projects and various reviews etc.

Projects

Rogue Trader

-Squats

-Imperial guard

-Terrain (this falls into two categories resin vehicles and buildings)

15mm Scifi

-16 GZG UNSC troopers plus a fan van vtol

Fantasy

-Various bits

North West Frontier

-Whatever else is needed to expand.

So a fair whack, here is a quick picture of most of the resin awaiting priming.

Of prefab buildings and cork.

Right well time to start putting some posts up with what I am up to etc. after the last time I played with this blogging stuff I ended up close to throwing my laptop under the treads of a passing Land Raider. Can't remember what went went wrong I think it was something to do with pictures.

Anyway here are some sci-fi colony buildings ala matakishi. I plan to use these as prefabricated buildings which would haae been produced en mass and flat packed then sent all over the galaxy. Hmm maybe this is the future of Ikea.. In the 41st millennium there is only Ikea and it endless warehouse..

These are made from cork tiles which I got from focus a while back maybe a year ago, the air conditioning units are from Ainsty and the little control panels are from Black Cat Bases

Here is a scale shot:

(Miniatures are EM4, TAG and one of the russian ones).

Then the lot in progress, the pictures makes them look very distorted, which I admit makes them look a bit odd. There aren't really that bad I'll put some more pictures up once

EDIT: Oh I remember now why images were giving me a headache..

EDIT2/3: Ooh raaa! Managed to sort out the pictures I think.
