Build 10 Flats Terrain Project!

I found these packs of plastic Deca Build 10 flats at my local thrift store...30 for ninety cents! I also found 1 pack of solid blocks, wish they had more of those...here is what I did with this great find!


Here are the packs from the thrift store, this is gonna be fun!

I glued these flats into 2's, 3's and 4's to make modular sidewalk city terrain...

Here are some buildings and walls I made for 28mm, I used plasticard for the rooftops and doors...

The blocks are going to be used for Kaiju, the neat thing is you can stack them for taller buildings, then I made two smaller buildings using the flats and some plasticard...

Now the cool stuff!!!


Here is a bunch of the sidewalk pieces painted up and set up as sidewalk streets...


Here is another shot, just add some civilians and the streets come to life...


Here are the two 28mm scale buildings and walls...


Here are the blocks and the other two buildings painted up, combined with the streets they look good with the Pack of Destruction Kaiju...


Here is another action shot with the Kaiju, I'm going to use my GZG 2mm tanks with these guys!

CLone Wars: Third Battle of Yavin 4

We played a Third battle on Yavin 4 using my mod for Combat Storm. This game gave me some ideas for adjusting stats and points, as well as some future rules additions. We also used alternating unit activation rather than I-go-you-go. It seemed to work out just fine. This fight saw as small force of Clones comprised of two 10-man squads of standard Clones, two Anti Armor Clones, a Clone Sharpshooter and two Clone Grenediers. They were also given a large battle cannon with a blast-2 radius that could be fired once per turn. The Clones started behind cover and Nick really didn't move them too far from thier original positions. I commanded the Droid invasion army consisting of two units of 20 B1 Battledroids each, one unit of 20 B2 Battledroids, ten Rocket Droids, one Hailfire Droid and two Homing Spider Droids.
During the battle the droids did a lot of running or walking and the Clones only had range with the cannon and Sharpshooter until the Droids got closer. Having anit-armor shells, the Sharpshooter aided the cannon to take out the droid vehicles before they got close enough. The Homing Spiders were able to take out some clones, I made a rule where the Homing Spider beam works like a template weapon hitting one Clone, and then you roll a D6 to see how many additional targets you hit that are within 3 inches of the first. That way it does a "sweep" with it's beam, and targets still get a reaction roll.
What was left of the Rocket Droids jumped to a Clone position in the third turn but being weak in close combat were taken out. The Clone Grenediers left thier position to throw EMP grenades at the droids before getting killed. The Clones won the day by having 10+ guys left at the end of the fourth turn, when reinforcements arrived. Score: Clones-2, Droids-1...

Wednesday is Paint Night at Rockheads

My 6 year old and I pop up at Rockheads in Kenosha on Wednesday nights because it's Paint Night from 5-7! The talented and knowlegable Marie Post runs the table with a full compliment of Reaper Master Series paints to use as well as solutions to all your painting questions. If you are in the area, stop in on Paint Night, it's a regular Inn of the Last Home. Then come back on Friday for Open Game Night, I'm always looking for anyone interested in Combat Storm and my Clone Wars game, and Marie will be more than happy to introduce you to Warlord and host a demo game....

Ahhh, time for Pokemon Club again!

Another Pokemon Club meeting this past Monday at the Kenosha Southwest Library...now if you remember, last time the lady running the club told me that I couldn't trade cards with the kids in future meetings, so now my kids had to do the work...imagine my "suprise" when my 6 year old traded an SP Aerodactyl for a fire energy card. Well, she was excited. But she traded some other cards for some we didn't have, while I played solitaire Pokemon to see if the other kids would ask what I was doing, since no one actually plays the game at the club. No one asked. I think the kids just collect and trade and then play video games at home. The next Pokemon Club is on July 6 from 4:00- 5:00pm, so if anyone reading this is in Kenosha or nearby, stop in so I have someone to trade with!

Awwww...how sweet! Heaven (right) finds someone to trade with...someone who dosn't know the value of what she is trading...my kids learn fast!

Reaper Warlord Demo

Nick and I played our first Warlord game at Rockheads Friday night, Marie was running the game using the beta 2nd edition rules. I hadn't done Fantasy in years, and at first the table looked strange because there were no big vehicles and shooty guns....The good news: I like the game. The bad news: I like the game. Now I gots to gets crankinz on some Necropolis guys! Anyway the demo armies were Undead Pirates vs Crusaders, very nicely and expertly painted by the talented Marie. The rules were fast and furious...in close combat after you strike your opponent you might kill him but he isn't dead until the end of the turn so he get a defensive strike back. Once close combat happens, bodies will hit the floor. It took a little while for me to adjust, most of my fantasy games were hundreds of troops pushed forward with the ranks in the back there for moral support...In Warlord, every model counts and grunts become a real loss rather than "hey, it's just goblins, I got 50 more behind them..." The games we played had like 10 models a side and was as enjoyable as any mass game to me.
Marie is going to running more Warlord demos, so get to Rockheads if you're in the area and start stompin...

PS I forgot my camera so here is my one lame pic from my camera phone. These are Crusaders looking to trash some undead...
