Battle report Video Up! - New and UPDATED

I've completed the first of (hopefully) many video battle reports!

Any comments or suggestions would be welcome!

See Below for Video:

We have another battle coming up Friday, and this time it will be a close-in battle in a research lab...


EDIT:

I really appreciate all the advice people have sent my way, and I reworked and I've uploaded an updated video... I've included better quality images, pictures of minis, and a description of events.  Hopefully  this will give a better report *grin*

New video tests for Battle Report

Flick and I played our game of Gruntz on friday and had a great time!  It really came down to the last turn and the last move to see who would win!

We played about 100 points each on a 2x4 board and it was perfect.  We could have upped the points too, but we felt that this gave us a quick, exciting game.

I'm still working on putting it all together, but i've done two quick video tests, and wanted to share them.


First, a downed Eagle with smoke showing...



A mech shoots a plasma projectile at the eagle, causing damage as the falcon flies by.

I know it's a little rough around the edges, but these would be quick cuts anyways, and I'm hoping to do a lot of them, so I won't be spending too much time on each one.  Other than that, what do you guys think?

Edit:  After looking at them for a bit, they are a bit chessy, but if you guys are OK with that, so am I :)

Thanks!

Col. Jovan Odea - GZG NI Conversion

I was thinking how I wanted a Commander that stood out a little.  I've always liked the GZG conversion heads and I had found an extra NI command trooper, so I took a look at them and found a combination I liked.

It went together very easy.  The helmet came right off, and then I just drilled down a little with the Pin Vise to create a small indent for the head.

I know the head is a little over-sized, but  I think it looks good on the table.  And it makes my commander stand out!

Of course, as always, comments and feedback are always welcome!

I'm not sure my last photos came out how I liked, so here are some patrol shots:

GZG NI Command Squad - Thanks for all the suggestions!


Finished up my NI command squad for Gruntz.

I have the Colonel with the red stripe on the helmet (the stripes on the helmets are for the squad leaders, or officers).

Then the BATINT/Drone operator and the COMMS operator. Both have the red command squad marking on their shoulder pads.

Each squad will have a different color stripes.

I might end up putting decals on these guys, I ordered some Heavy Gear decals that I think will work.

Comments and critiques are always welcome!

Here is my test paint, what do you guys think?

Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated!

Quick Reaction Force - GZG NAC Trikes, Mules, and Half-Trikes

Had to do a group shot:




They're on the move!

GZG NAC Half-Trike

Painted up the New GZG NAC Half-Trike.

I armed it with a heavier weapon than my Mini-Mule.



I really like it, and I think the two go well together.
