Bazooka Jane! Zombie films def need more bazookas!

Would that be a de facto Double Tap?

 

[CaptainDangerous]

Not much of a progress report, but other than taking part in secret Santa, this is all iv done for near enough a year:

Theban Greek hoplites, only did the ones seen here, not sure why I bought them, but I really love Victrix historical miniatures.

And definately been on some kind of crazy, go for broke, pile of shame’o’rama!
Here’s my birthday haul from September, but iv bought a tyranid army, more perry hostoricals, frostgraves, stargraves, gaslands accessories, Titanicus, grey knights, khorne bloodletters … all still in their boxes.

Iv snapped out of it a bit now, but I’m left feeling ‘what have I done’
Iv got about five+ projects, with the willpower to do non!
SHAME!

 

[ClockworkOrange]

Oooo what does the land fortress thing look like? To google.

Edit - he returns hmmmm I’m not sure, would be cool for the Clones Ashwastes transport though!

 

[CaptainDangerous]

What it is, is a very very expensive piece of scenery!
It was intended for one of my ‘projects’ but it’s very unlikely to see its intention fulfilled. Also want a couple of the smaller ones too, but didn’t manage it while I was binging, so will have to wait till I lose my willpower again!

Fret not my Captain. They’ll be ready when you are. Buy what you want and what you enjoy.

Could do some Turnip28 with those vicx

 

[CaptainDangerous]

It would be like going out of the fire and into the stew pot, instead of having a load of minis Iv got no use for, I’d have a load of bespoke minis Iv got no use for! im just happy they are fun to put together!

 

[Pagumb]

Nah nah nah he needs to start small with Verrotwood and then maybe, maybe scale up to Turnip28...which should be done with the Perry models not the Victrix...

He doesn't even need to go dark forest setting for Verrotwood. Get some plastic Romans, a shed load of olive trees, statuary and columns for a twisted villa garden skirmish setting and all of a sudden four Greeks are drawn through time and space to face off with four interloping Roman soldiers or a mad oracle and her minions. Maybe a medusa and a cyclops for wandering monsters. A siren perhaps and her followers?

 

[CaptainDangerous]

Already got the Romans, they on post #448 two pages back!
(They were an impulse buy too …and they’re still completely grey)

 

[Punktaku]

Gray Romans sounds a bit like a Turnip28 force…

If the Captain wants to keep his forest horror modern (while including historical forces involved in the occasional scenario or campaign he could base it on Black Spot. Get some goatmen, modern cops/citizens and a Range Rover or two from Crooked Dice and viola, you’re deep in a French forest dealing with lord knows what. I did enjoy the show.

Be careful or you might find that the Captain has sent some local no good types to ahhh teach yoose some reverentia...once they are released.

 

[CaptainDangerous]

I know what you’re doing…I’m not listening!

 

[Pagumb]

The Amiable Enabler Enables Admirably...

 

[MusingWarboss]

I keep getting tempted by Victrix stuff for SAGA, even though I haven’t got the rules or anyone to play against yet!!

They’re just so nice.

I know you'd do an amazing job with the Vikings. Maybe mix in some the Shieldmaidens as well?

 

[CaptainDangerous]

They’re definitely on my wishlist!
Tho when I was looking at them in the shop, I was thinking, wouldn’t it be cool to make a game based on Fenris, so mordheim rules, but maybe say that warpstones are Runestones, and the crazy bearded guys cannot get enough of them as they superstitiously attract the favour of the ‘gods’
Maybe Chuck in a scenario where ‘juves’ fight to the death and one of the ‘gods’ take the winner away to Valhalla/The Fang but gives his chief a bagful of runestones!?

I’d call it Thunder on Fenris (a nod to an audiobook I had about The Wolves)

 

[radulykan]

I too have long considered a game where the various tribes of fenris fight each other for resources and glory in the eyes of the gods!
the choosers of the slain would be a fun random encounter plus we’d need rules for longships, beach landings and a host of hideous creatures that could turn up.

Maybe a mix of Mordheim and Man O War/Armada games? Then you could play flee sinking island and hunt the Kraken games in between raids on each others villages. Suppose those could all be simulated through dice rolls on tables modified by Tribe resources, the power level of the tribes shaman, etc.
