Blasted Planets Project

Blasted Planets project
I painted some of HistoriFig's Blasted Planets figures awhile ago, but I really wanted some vehicles to go with them...so now they have some heavy support! They are going to get some ToyMallet 40 cents love real soon. My human troopers are getting some 33 cent robots painted up right now so they can join in the fun so hopefully I will be able to show those off real soon.

Combat Storm CLONE WARS

Played the first game of my Clone Wars mod for the Combat Storm rules at Rockheads, it worked out pretty well. Nick commanded the Clones and I took the Battledroids. This was the first battle on Yavin 4, the plan is to have several battles on each planet featured in the Star Wars Battlefront video games. The Republic Army consisted of two 10 man Clone squads, 2 Arc Trooper anti-armor, 1 Clone Speeder and 3 AT-RTs. The CIS consisted of two 10 B1 droid sqauds, one 10 B2 droid squad, 1 Snail Tank and 2 Crab Droids. The game seemed unbalanced at first with the CIS loosing a lot of troops to Clone Heavy weapons, but in later rounds the CIS came back when the Snail tank started dishing out punishment, the Crab Droids were making saves and the B1 and B2 battledroids outnumbered the Clones in close combat. The Clones managed to squeak in a victory. For anyone into Combat Storm I put a PDF file of the Troops used in the game on the Yahoo Group. THE BAD NEWS: I totally forgot my camera at home so I got a couple pics with my cruddy phone camera...

TOYMALLET 40 CENTS!!

I found it on the web and was pretty impressed with the game! So I gathered the family around today and we played a couple games; A battle between the Saurians and the Wormics/Greys, and then a Mars Attacks! ground battle. The rules ran simple and smoothly, you should check out the rules for fun.

Battle 1: Saurians VS Wormic/Greys

The setup for a battle between the Saurians and the Wormic/Grey Alliance. Saurians & Wormic from Acheson Creations, Greys from Mega Miniatures. I made the ruins and fuel the objectives to earn Happy Fun Time points to win....

The Greys ready to fight. I gave them the Teleport ability, and Tactical so with the +1 they win initiative....

One of the two squads of Wormic in this battle. They were given the Scary Fast ability, so they can cover more ground...

One of the two squads of Saurians in the battle, who were given the indirect fire ability (grenades) supported with an infantry vehicle with battle cannon....

The Greys secure the ruins early in the game....

Later, they teleport behind the Saurians and dish out some firepower. They also used a Tactical point to make the Saurians retreat so they couldn't be assaulted in close combat...

The infantry vehicle gets toasted by the Wormic who take position around the fuel supply, the Saurians find themselves hurting for firepower and were later surrounded and outnumbered in close combat. Grey and Wormic Victory!

BATTLE 2 : MARS ATTACKS!

Here is the setup, the Martians are moving into a city as Swat and Soldiers prepare a defense. Civilians are scattered on the table, Martians get an extra HFT point for each one they fry, defenders get a point for each one they rescue. Martians, Swat and Civilians from Mega Miniatures, Soldiers are West Wind...

Martians bringing in the DeathBlower 2000....

Oh No! They've dropped in a Mega Killbot X!!!

Ah! Our saviors advance on the Martian threat!

Early on, the Tanks get a lucky blow and take down the Mega Killbot X!!! There is nothing I hate more than wasted potential...next time I'll hide him behind a building for a turn or two....

The DeathBlower 2000 delivers vengeance on the human's puny tank....

By this time, the Martians have taken heavy losses, but are advancing at a steady pace to engage the humans in close combat...

Fighting in the streets! Do not run we are your friends!!!!

The Martians have lost the battle, but not the war....

Combat Storm Game at Rockheads
Headed up to Rockheads Comics & Games Friday for open gaming nite with my Combat Storm stuff. My buddy didn't show up, but lucky me I had brought my 6 year old daughter with me, so she took command of the Green Army and beat the heck outa my Tan soldiers. I'm going to keep running Combat Storm games at the shop, hopefully I'll generate a few local fans.
