League Pictures - Space Sharks vs. Necrons

 

My friend John signed up for the 40K league at Gaming Underground today and we got in three fast games to get him his requirements for the month.  Fast and furious, so I'm not going to go into great detail, just a bunch of pics.  The new Necrons are tough, and it's hard to find the concentrated power at this points level to really knock out the bigger units.  

Crons had 13 warriors, 9 flayed ones, three destroyers and a tomb spyder.  I think he's got a pretty good setup, with a good amount of shooting, a solid HTH response and some great durability.

Game one vs. Leonard's Deathskull Orks.  Primary mission table quarters (for reference, the bastion is in the middle of the map), secondary mission kill points.

League Week 2 Picture Dump

First of all, here's a little terrain piece I whipped up to leave at Gaming Underground.  Based on a Costco lettuce container, just a couple of hatches and an Apocalypse antennae glued on, sprayed metallic and rusty, sealed and done.

We had another big turnout for the league this week.  Almost everyone from last time returned and we had a few more players join in as well.

Kickstarter the wave of the future, or at least the future of the past?

 

Kickstarter seems to be the new hotness, either for new products, like Zombiecide, or re-releases of old ones, like OGRE (and soon to come Car Wars). 

There's a lot of junk on Kickstarter, as with anything where you can ask for money, there will be a lot of trash, but some gems.  What kinds of possibilities does this offer us, and can Kickstarter and similar services likely to follow lead to a more meaningful connection between gaming consumers and producers?

Space Sharks WIP Rhino, continued

 

Further progress on the second Space Shark Rhino.

Space Sharks: WIP Rhino, Captain, Ironclad

So after using the second Rhino for the league list the other day, I figured I'd make it permanent.  Here's a WIP shot of the front of the new one, with chompy-looking dozer blade and an exhortation to those it's bearing down on.

I didn't have the official struts that the blade is supposed to be attached to, so I made my own with a couple of clipped bits of sprue.  Doesn't look as fancy, but it keeps it in place!

Headlights, lenses, any additional scribbles and transfers and it should be ready for next Sunday.

League Battles: Round One Sharks vs. Marines and Orks

 

 First of all, a couple of shots of completed Space Sharks!  Two tac squads and a Rhino above, all done, based and sealed.  One bite taken out of the project.
