Was kind of planning to pick up an AT starter set and be working on that by this stage... but nothing open of course [yawn].
My printer parts came in but it's now acting weird. 3 good prints, then 2 failed prints on 3+ hour prints and running out of cleanup resources (have resorted to metho instead of iso, loo rolls instead of paper towels).
So i got inspired with the planet-28 rules a week or so ago. 'inquisitor'/skirmish rules for pretty much any models you like. Has a few issues that i don't like but overall, a nice simple rule set.
So i wondered... how about 6mm?
why not
This is the second 'board' i constructed. The first was literally A3 size but i made a second that fit on my existing terrain pieces more neatly, plus road at the size of road i use/made, plus side-walk edging which is 'ruler-thickness'...
Fighting on the road was a bit Napoleonic, so i whipped up some drop terrain, resin cast containers and girders made from sprue leftovers. Nothing fancy.
I also whipped up 2 token forces to try the rules with. These are made from (Epic) filament Eldar Guardians that were never going to get used. I had 8 sticks and divvied them up into two forces. One is an Investigator + 4 imperial guardsmen. The other is a 5 Chaos Cultists + 2 Heavy weapons Cultists + 1 Chaos Cult Magos.
I've had about 3 games with the rules developing as the terrain and pieces have been developing. The straight-up planet-28 rules don't precisely fit but only minor changes are really required to get a result.
Anyway, that's about it. Bit of Fun. Time to find something else to keep me going.
Until next time.
