The beginnings of Ordo Chronus - A Skirmish Blog

Right...

I'm Laney and this is my attempt at tracking my progress on creating a comprehensive Warhammer 40k Skirmish, drawing on influences from Inq28 and elsewhere. 

40k Skirmish
I plan on creating many of the squads not currently supported by the superb deathsquadsgame (which is my starting point). The idea being that I can make it more flexible (though balance may be something of an afterthought I will try my best!) - so I can create the squads/units/cadres I envisage in the Grimdark world of 40k. 


Here are a couple of my early efforts...

The Varangian 10th/95th Major Helios Jones and Command

Sanctioned Psyker and Sniper of the 10th/95th

Allansian 2nd Battalian - The Bulldogs

The Cards:
To make the game flexible and allow infinite numbers of builds, I'm using separate unit cards. Here are a few rough drafts - tell me what you think...
Sample Cards


Imperial Guard Veteran Card

Deathwatch Marine Sergeant Card
The idea is that the unit progresses and you add the revised values to the cards during the campaign.

Future Plans: 
I also hope to eventually create a game of my own with similar elements to it, but set in an Alternate Cold War 1960s Universe, with M.O.D. Arcane Agents and members of the SOE Experimental Division, battling the supernatural entities of the Unseelie Court, the engineered super agents of the Soviet Bloc and the insidious underworld gangs of the Vitruvian Society. More on that later...
