6mm Colonial Marines: No sharp sticks though.

After debating and pausing the creation of more bases of infantry, I decided to say "screw it" and not bother waiting for magnetic coins. I don't really need them to store all of my units, and can actually rely on the magnetic attributes of surrounding stands to keep these ones in place.

As such, behold my colonial marines. Four stands of infantry and the APC. This will be enough for a small Horizon Wars army, and maybe for other rule sets, should I fancy it. I still have a number of these guys left over, waiting to be completed either the same way, or as a different faction. Or perhaps they are doomed to live on in my lead mountain. (Khurasan Miniatures)

Reinforcements for the New Charon Militia. I only had four infantry stands but now I have seven. That should be enough to keep me going for a long while, unless I get off my butt and give Laserstorm a go. (Ground Zero Games)

A few more mecha, probably to be used with the colonial marines if I get them to the table next week. I look forward to using these. They are probably my all time favourite mech. (Ground Zero Games)

Below we have our scientists. With these stands complete, I now have my objective markers to continue the New Charon campaign. I am looking forward to seeing what conclusions they come to about those ruins. (CinC)

Scum for the Starport part 4

Finished my latest batch of characters last night. I am pretty much sold on the small washers for bases, although they aren't battle tested yet. They may as yet prove to be too unstable. They look pretty sexy though.

A group of colonists posing on a patch of crops. This crop has been designed to be growable in just about any place imaginable. It will keep you alive, long after the animals have died.

Sometimes you need the hired guns. One can scrape a living protecting those who can't protect themselves. Of course, if the money is good...it is not inconceivable that sides might be swapped...

Pack animals and travelers. There are those who lead nomadic lives, traveling from one colony to another, seeing the universe. Others can be found settling on a planet and leading a hermetic existence. Either way, one must be wary of such folk.

 And sometimes, you just meet plain old weirdos.

 ...or you bump into assassins.

Reinforcements: UCS and another faction

For my activities day event I am running 5 games at once. As such I need 10 armies. I think this will be my final army, but I have no back story for them yet.

CinC Solar Empire Marines, also their tanks. Iron Wind Metals 10mm battle armour for the mecha.

I don't have great photos of the UCS armies that I have created. So I thought I would take one and show it. 

Brigade models Neo Soviet tanks and PacFed infantry. Ground Zero Games mecha and the big one is EM4.

Below are two sniper teams on New Vesta. I thought I would make some special forces units.

CinC planetary militia?
