One Big Worm

At the height of my Havok hyperfocus, after getting at decently sized Nexus and Karn force together I turned my attention to the Pteravore. As any Havok fan is aware, the Pteravore unfortunately only had three units released before the game died, Razors, Screamers and Hell Hounds. I managed all three utilising Wargames Atlantic’s Harvesters […]

A Tanky Week

This week I finished a few tanks I’ve had taking up an unnecessarily large amount of space on my fold up hobby desk. The first two were a Turan 2 and Csaba (technically not a tank) from Mad Bob Miniatures for my burgeoning Hungarian Army for Bolt Action. The kits were extremely easy to build […]

A Public Service Announcement Regarding the Instructions For The Wolverine Tank

It’s great that smaller companies are now producing hard plastic vehicles for sci-fi settings. The Wolverine Tank from Archon Studio is fantastic. It’s a brilliantly kit, highly detailed and chunky. However there is an issue with the instructions that can make your life building one an absolute nightmare (I guess mileage on your nightmares may […]

A Big Havok Battle

I set up both of my entire collections of Karn and Nexus and pitched them against each other, not worrying about points, but just to play the game. There were a few special rules I wanted to play with, and as far as Havok 2.0 is concerned, I’ve backtracked a lot of my changes largely […]

Borkian Mercenaries and Reaver Captains

Continuing on, with my ever expanding Havok collection… I’m pretty happy that I’ve managed to fill a few slots from the original Havok line up that I thought I’d struggle to recreate. First up are my Borkian Mercenaries: They’re very different from the originals: I’ve gone less flying psycho in fishnets and more Laserburn – […]

Havok Tanks?: The Sturnhammer

I was rather shocked to find this on Amazon for £20. Thinking getting some tanks together for Havok as going to cost me an arm and a leg may not quite be true! The Sturnhammer is a really great kit, the parts don’t come in a sprue, however they are all decently clean of mould […]

Havok Reinforcements Completed

As shown off in my last post, here are my finished Havok reinforcements, for the Nexus: It’s been an interesting project recreating these figures using Wargames Atlantic’s fantastic range of plastic figures, and then painting them has also presented its own challenges, in trying to mimic a more modern pre-painted style (toysoldier2000?). The Storm Troopers […]

Kitbashing Wargames Atlantic Figures and my Havok WIP

My January hyperfocus continues in earnest with more unit for my Havok forces. This time around I nabbed a box of Bulldogs and Space Nam. For my Nexus force I’ve put together 3 new units. From the standard Havok roster I put together some Tribunes: The Bulldogs box gives you steam punk colonial era British […]

Fixing Havok? Or Havok 2.0

So to make my former posts make a little more sense and before expanding things outwards, here’s what we’re working with in regards to Havok, with a few sensible adjustments from me: COMBAT DATA SPEED – Generally lighter armed warriors will be able to move faster than more heavily armed warriors. However, physical size can […]

Invasion of the Pteravore

In the week just gone I was frantically painting figures for my Pteravore army for a game of Havok Skirmish. I’m not sure if I like the overall effect of the finished force as funnily enough I think it’s a bit too uniform. To explain further here are my Nexus and Karn forces: Each force […]

A Havok Battle Report

I tested my two Havok armies against each other attempting to stick as closely to the rules as written as possible (it was difficult at times). My Karn army consisted of 8 Troopers, 9 Darkest Suns, 6 Heavy Weapons, 2 Form Warriors and a Battle Form. My Nexus force consisted of 5 47th Line, 5 […]

The Nexus Rebellion

In opposition to the Karn Empire we have the Nexus Rebellion. This time I picked up a box of Wargames Atlantic’s Cannon Fodder, a kit that I’ve also had before and was already well aware of how much mileage you could get out it. First up are the Nexus Troopers: They’re the backbone of the […]

The Karn Empire

I’ve been getting the ball rolling on my Havok project already. My first port of call was a box of Eisenkern Stormtroopers from Wargames Atlantic. The figures are really good, and I’ve already built and painted a box before, so I know what I’m up to. The challenge here however, was finding rough equivalents to […]

Havok in 2025?

Havok was a wargame produced by Blubird Toys in the late 90s. It was extremely short lived, dying before all of the units were released. I can’t imagine their intention was to rival 40k at the time, but maybe just exist as a slightly cheaper pocket money option. All the miniatures came pre-assembled (bar vehicles […]
