Gladiatorial Combat

It struck me earlier today listening to folks babble on about the World Cup that sports games would really help flesh out a world. Imagine if you drew up your own World Cup for a fictional world, you’d need all the countries to have names, and players to make a squad. When the World Cup […]

Deathshot

In the interest of exploring the history of the Planet Jendar I’ve been quickly building up some skirmish forces for their horse and musket era. I’ve also picked a three nation conflict of Reddina and the Su Khan Royalists versus The Rin Empire and the Su Khan Separatists, also known as the Su Khan Civil […]

Shooting Mechanics

Shooting is key to pretty much every wargame, and shooting often adds a huge amount of complication – ranges, rate of fire, armour penetration, line of sight. Not to mention in any turn based game which ever side gets the first turn is often able to cripple their opponents force before their opponent can return […]

Bits and Bobs

I have to apologise for the lack of posts of late, my aim was for a post once every few days, however other projects have come in and disturbed my Deathzap output. One such project is a new army for Age of Sigmar as we gear up for the release of the Second Edition, this […]

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: […]

House Baranor Enter the Fray!

I wanted a force representing House Baranor. House Baranor are a group of nations all pledging fealty to the Baranor family, currently headed by Queen Elena Baranor. The force needed to look noble, and uniform, apart from that before starting I didn’t know which direction it would take.

The SolRads

One of the factions currently fighting in the First System War (SW1) are the SolRads (short for Solar Raiders). The SolRads are known for their brutality and relatively out dated, but still effective weaponry. The SolRads come from the old system or the Solar System as it was known. A system of planets orbiting the […]

Take me to Church – Battle Report

Working out the kinks in my home brew rules is a lot of fun, as is expanding and deepening the sci fi universe these battles take place in. 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 […]
