A Song of SolRads and Selenoids

I played a quick game this morning facing my new force of SolRads off against my brand new Selenoids. Here’s deployment: Unfortunately I was wrapped up enough in the action that I forgot to take any more pictures. But here’s a close up picture of some of my SolRads: They hail from the Bloodline war […]

The Selenoids

Early reports of disputed accuracy, indicate human contact with a previously unseen alien race. The ‘eyewitnesses’ described large humanoid forms with seemingly no noticeable features. Their skin, which is visible in its entirety due to their apparent lack of clothing or armour, appears gelatinous or ‘meaty’. Each carries only one weapon, a large spike which […]

VILLAGE MASSACRE – BATTLE REPORT

Here’s an attempt at a far more in depth battle report. I played the game solo this evening trying out two new forces, the House Baronor force seen in the last post, and a new SolRad force almost completed (just the basing to finish off). I’ll post properly on these guys shortly. Here’s the battle: […]

A system of planets orbiting the […]

Take me to Church – Battle Report

Here for your enjoyment, the combined forces of the Jendari Collective, the League of Zandor and the Solar Raiders face off against the Allegiance of Gnossos and […]

The Rules Tax (A plea for homebrew rules)

One of the costs you don’t often consider as you excitedly purchase miniatures for that new wargame are the rules. As a long time fan of games workshop I know this all to well. My most recent venture is a chaos space marine army, and while I have all the necessary miniatures to get playing […]

Greys

Here’s a pic of some recent conversions:They’re just a blob of milliput on a Poundland figure’s head and some simple sculpting with the end of a paintbrush. Thanks for stopping by!

New Beginnings

Hi all, the purpose of this blog will be to catalogue my progress into dirt cheap sci if wargaming with extremely simple rules. If that’s something you’re looking for then stick around! The picture above, taken on a baking tray, is a platoon of figures all purchased from Poundland in the UK, with each figure […]
