Competition Time!

I visited my local Games Workshop last weekend to pick up a couple of boxes of Tempestus Scions. Great kits with a ton of options, my only gripes are...

1. As a converter is how they are not easily compatible with the current IG line, meaning kitbashing is a more challenging prospect. 
2. Some of the parts are less flexible and there aren't enough variations in the kit (lots of heads and such, but not a great deal of variety in the hands and poses).

While there the manager mentioned the single figure painting competition. I thought I'd take a punt and do an Inquisitorial Stormtrooper. It's based off the scions kit with a forgeworld cadian environment suit for the torso. Simple conversion, but fun to paint. Here is the work in progress...

More work to do on the plasma gun and the OSL on the weapon

I also plan on a fantasy miniature, so I picked up a Skaven Clanrats box from my FLGS too (no paint yet)...

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...
