Armor Grid Mech Attack! Prints

I'm not the greatest at building paper models, I'm "score and fold" challenged, but I'm going to try starting some tonite, lets see how long it takes for a decent size force. Originally I wasn't going to use the models, I was going to use my 6mm stuff instead, but I like the looks of these so here goes....

Republic Gunship for my Clones

Here is the Gunship from the Transformers Crossovers line. It's probably the closest I'll get to having one that looks decent next to the miniatures. I'll probably glue it so it dosn't transform anymore and that way its more "stable" and then dirty it up so it's ready for war!

Avatar Gunships

Scored big with these! We had them at work, and then I kept my eye on them when we put them on clearance for $20, then they went to $15, and then one morning I was leaving work and the Department Manager said "Hey Rusty, I think we brought those copters you wanted down some more." Sure enough, EIGHT BUCKS! Wish we had more than two...I think I'm going to use them as carriers for my big robot game...

Armor Grid: Mech Attack

Check out http://www.armorgridgames.com/ for their new game Armor Grid: Mech Assault! The game costs 5.00 for a download and you get rules and a ton of paper mechs, vehicles and infantry to use. I picked up the game and printed out all the paper minis, so I'll be assembling them and going through the rules over the next couple days and posting a battle report here.

Ghostbusters Ecto-1

Woo-Hoo! Finally found me a Hot Wheels Ghostbusters ECTO-1 today!

Combat Storm: World War Z

Played a solo game of my World War Z mod for Combat Storm (work in progress)....This first battle involves the Zombies coming across the border of the Dragon Republic, which encounters a Green Army force on patrol outside of Peaceville. After 5 turns, the soldiers had been overrun but managed to get head shots on 33 of the 50 Zombies which came in waves of 10 each turn. I posted some Zombie rules for this mod on the Combat Storm Yahoo Group and I got the figs from an eBay listing
They have Green, Blue, White and Clear Zombies in thier eBay store, and for 1.00 a pack of Army Men scale Zombies it's hard to beat!

The Start of Combat Storm:World War Z

I got these cool plastic figures from 2hockeyfans on ebay, they are about 2 inches tall and will fit in great with my plastic army men for a new campaign...Combat Storm World War Z! When I got them I based them on matte board squares I had cut up, then I added a little sand and some blood spots and bam! New Army! BRAINS!!!!
