All furniture from Mad Mecha Guy.<br />
<br />
I need to get armory racks, med bays and etc... probably from National Cheese Emporium<br />
https://www.shapeways.com/shops/javelin98… That will all be for the first floor.<br />
<br />
The bay is big enough for my smaller vehicles and the Aurora. The other pod with four bay doors I think is even big enough for my HADES and Apocalypse, although I haven't have a chance to test yet.<br />
<br />
Super excited about this, and I think I could even do a small game just in here. It also has a helipad on the roof section, this pod could be dropped off somewhere as a temp HQ for operations.<br />
<br />
And here's a WIP of the full spaceship:<br />

The HADES Banshee VTOL is an advanced stealth assault craft designed to deliver HADES Ghost teams directly into the mission are and exfil them under heavy enemy fire. The two Higgs-Newby 46-megawatt phase engines produce over 400Kn of thrust and allow for atmospheric and low-orbit flight. The virtual cockpit system provides maximum protection and sensor acclimation to either a single on-board pilot, slaved in via cortical implants, or a remote pilot.<br />
<br />
On the nose is mounted a twin-linked 40mm smart-munition cannon capable of engaging armored and unarmored targets at up to 20 km. The Banshee can also carry multi-role missiles systems via its internal bays located on either side of the armored front.<br />
<br />
Stealth systems include low-to-no emission systems, low-profile ECM/ECCM systems, RADAR/LADAR absorbent coatings and an adaptable optical coating to disrupt visual detection.<br />
<br />
The HADES Banshee is a 15mm Scale Multi-Part Resin Model<br />

<br />
Then I did oak brown large splotches<br />
Then I did large splotches of Brown Violet<br />
Then I did small squiggly lines (very fine, go back over with brown violet if too thick) with black<br />
Then I did little non-uniform dots of Dark Sand.<br />
Then I did a very watered down (like 5:1) coat of the Brown Violet. This really brought it together.<br />
Then I did a watered down (3:1) wash of Strong tone.<br />
<br />
And feedback or critiques are welcome!<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-88ItkP6HcyE/VNgnmE-GbpI/AAAAAAAAWBI/A8LeTrVdbeI/s1600/AuroraHades.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-88ItkP6HcyE/VNgnmE-GbpI/AAAAAAAAWBI/A8LeTrVdbeI/s1600/AuroraHades.jpg" height="301" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
My biggest concern is that if one side has a VTOL/Dropship then the other side needs a way to take it down.<br />
Now, soldiers (once they start to advance) can buy missile launchers, but I'm not sure that's going to be enough. I'm thinking that a more abstract system would work better. Something where the VTOLs can drop off the troops (or exfil them) but can only loiter for a turn or two before they risk being blow up (needing a new mission, and possibly handing the enemy a victory). This would introduce an element of how long do I let my VTOLs loiter before telling them to leave, a risk vs. reward which is always fun.<br />
<br />
I'm also thinking if one side bought a VTOL, the other side would get the same number of points to spend on MANPADS, Off-table SAMs, their own VTOLs, interceptors, etc. Basically a separate point pool for both sides. The bigger the VTOL, the bigger the enemy response.<br />
<br />
I would have different VTOLs to start based off what I sell: Aurora, Sparrowhawk, Raven, Condor.<br />
What do you folks think? Any suggestions/ideas?Mr. Haroldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00115306470749174300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-492977364993264534.post-68347175387577600922015-02-05T20:12:00.001-08:002015-02-05T20:12:05.017-08:00My Gruntz Module, SpecOps is now available at Wargamevault.com!Hi everyone!<br />

This is a miniature from the Rebel Minis Civilian Hunters pack (http://rebelminis.com/hunterspack.html)<br />
<br />
I've been a big GITS kick recently and I noticed this miniature sitting on my painting table loose and I realized she made a perfect major!<br />
<br />
I've attached her to one of my laser etched bases.<br />

<br />
I painted the trooper black, then base coat of light grey on the armor plates. This represented the primer coat.<br />
<br />
I then brushed on a thin layer of the AK interactive worn effects.<br />
<br />
Once that dried I painted on the base green color I was after.<br />
<br />
I then put a little bit of water all over the model and using a stiff brush and toothpick knocked off some of the paint.<br />
<br />
Once all of that was dry I put on decals (using the micro-sol and micro-set) and using the Nato Armor Wash (AK interactive) and Earth Enamel Wash (AK interactive).<br />
<br />
This is what i've come up with so far:<br />

<br />
I'm thinking instead of units on a table each unit would be represented by a numbered token, and each army would get two dummy tokens.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.phonesreview.co.uk/wp-content/phoneimages/Alien-Scanner-app-searches-for-extraterrestrial-life-main-pic.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.phonesreview.co.uk/wp-content/phoneimages/Alien-Scanner-app-searches-for-extraterrestrial-life-main-pic.jpg" height="213" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Until a neural net roll is made you have to have LOS to a token to uncover it. Each unit can make a roll as an action, specialized units get bonuses. The rolls would be opposed, with a target number of 10. The attacking (sensing) unit would have to beat 10 AND also beat the opponent.<br />
<br />
The skill stat would govern these checks and there would be perks for improved or less ECM capabilities or stealth.<br />
<br />
Some perk ideas:<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Stealth</i><br />
<i>Noisy</i><br />
<i>Advanced Sensors</i><br />
<i>Jumpy</i><br />
Etc...<br />
<br />
The BOGINT perk would give an extra token.<br />
<br />

Through skillful navigation and the advanced technical specifications of the Aurora the craft was able to land without setting off any alarms.<br />
<br />
The nacelles angled downwards and the craft settled on the landing bay floor, the interior pressure equalized with the bay’s ambient pressure. As the pressure equalized the ramp’s locking clamps disengaged and the ramp slowly folded down exposing a dark interior lit only by multi-colored status lights.<br />
<br />
Without a sound a white pistol exposed itself from the interior, scanning the landing bay for any hostiles, it held its aim for a few moments before deciding that there was going to be no welcoming party.<br />
<br />
The Operative slowly moved from the interior down the ramp with a super-natural grace. The red body suit offset by the back shoulder pads and accents. The mechanical spinal implant glistened with chrome as it flexed during the movement. <br />
<br />
There was no mistaking the deadliness of this Operative and she had a job to do.<br />

WIP Hell Diver Covert Ops Team… a figure from the Omega pack and two from the Alpha Squad with Omega head swaps. The CLIFFORD drone pictured in the middle with the optional twin-linked squad support weapon option.<br />
<br />
I'll probably put one more figure with a SAW (from the Alpha Pack), and these will be my team for deploying from the upcoming Aurora.<br />
<br />
I'm very happy how the head swaps are going so far. My plan is for these to be painted mostly in blacks (with dark greys) which is one of the reason I wanted the exposed heads so I could add a bit of color. <br />

<br />
I used the airbrush to build up the highlights and then painted them on.<br />
<br />
Sorry for the blurry photos!<br />

The Power Armor Zeta Squad comes with six unique leg poses, six separate heads and torsos, multiple arm options and three heavy back-mounted weapons.<br />
<br />
I think i've finally settled on a theme for my personal force. I need to paint up the rest of the squad and then i'll be painting up the other miniatures in the range in this scheme, with the "414" motif... thoughts?Mr. Haroldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00115306470749174300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-492977364993264534.post-88992836706133933272014-08-20T07:42:00.002-07:002014-08-20T07:42:21.440-07:00ClearHorizon Miniatures goes to Strategicon!Only 10 days to go!

<br />
To build upon the last AAR here is a new set of rules for Car Chases in Gruntz... any feedback is appreciated!<br />
<br />
This is what i've come up with so far:<br />
<br />
Rules for Car chases<br />
<br />
16” x 24” board<br />
<br />
The board should have a clear roadway from the front to the back.<br />
<br />
Each player rolls 2d6 and adds the highest skill (or commander’s skill). The highest roll can choose to deploy first or second. Whoever deploys first also has the first activation.<br />
<br />
The attacker is placed in the back 12” and the defender (one being chased) is placed in the front 12”. <br />
<br />
At start of each turn:<br />
1)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span> Each vehicle writes down its move (for example 3” left, 1” back”)<br />
2)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>The tile from rear is removed and new tiles placed up front. All terrain moves 6” towards the back.<br />
3)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>A card is dealt to each player for each unit. The player then assigns the cards to their units. The players reveal their highest cards and then activate their units in that order continuing until no units are left to activate. (Aces are high, suit order (highest to lowest) is: Spades, Clubs, Diamonds, Hearts)<br />
<br />
Each activation vehicle can moves 6” left or right and up to 2” front or back. <br />
<br />
All shooting is at a -3 plus additional modifiers<br />
<br />
If a vehicle is on a tile that is removed it is removed from play.<br />
<br />
If a vehicle moves into a terrain piece the driver rolls a skill check vs 11. If they fail the check they take a 7 damage hit. If they succeed the vehicle moves 1” to either side of the terrain and stops. If they can’t move 1” to either side it stops 1” behind the terrain.<br />
<br />
Any engine critical and the vehicle is out of the game.<br />
<br />
At the end of each turn:<br />
<br />
1)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Each player alternates rolling a 1d6 for each 4” section on the front tile. On a 2-3 place an approx. 1” piece of terrain. On a 4-5 place an approx. 2” piece of terrain. On a 6 place a building or other large terrain piece approx. 4”. Place the terrain on the leading edge of the tile.<br />
