Happy Sun- First!
Man oh man, how I wish I only lived 2000 miles closer for the Team Yankee Boot Camp!
Happy Sunday! Enforcers for the win in Warpath, especially if someone has a tutorial on how to paint the new gray color scheme.
Aw man now you’ve got me excited for Team Yankee. But I’ll have to pass on the bootcamp again.
Happy Sunday!
Happy Sunday!!! Agreed blaeyn ..enforcers all the way!!
I am honestly tempted by this bootcamp…not sure, though. I could be in the UK around that time, but I’m usually around London while I’m there… Seriously considering it, though.
I also don’t have anyone I play regularly with. Closest place to gaming clubs is about 28 miles away and I can’t drive…added to that a disastrously poor public transport system and I can’t game unless it’s with my brothers and they will only play 40k. Bit frustrating when all you want to do is play some Bolt Action. 😛
Christ well that turned dark quick. I’m curious about Sarah Pryor now although I’ve a gut feeling she didn’t have a happy ending.
Those spectre minis look good, I am impressed with their products. Adding those to my wish list.
If you look up the architecture style known as brutalism , it might give you some pointers.
Morning all
Morning guys.
The boot camp sounds amazing. One thought I had though is that surely the terrain should be more Western European than Eastern because presumably in a “Cold War gone hot” situation, the soviet forces would have invaded and pushed their way across West Germany.
Idea for terrain, you could do half the tables set in Eastern Europe and the other half set in Western Europe/America.
I’m actually thinking of doing a Belfast table, I’m sure someone can come up with a good reason why the Soviets and USA are fighting in Belfast but I just want an excuse to build those old RUC stations that were scattered about the place. http://www.royalulsterconstabulary.org/gallery/ly_forkhill.jpg
Russians invade Northern Ireland to divert British attention from the war in Germany. US have troops stationed in NI doing training before going onto mainland Europe and the Russians attack…
Cheers!
Now time to plan out how I’m going to build the table. On a side note, it wont be 1980’s Belfast without those grey RUC landrovers, anyone know where to get them in 15mm?
Good luck finding them in 15mm, never seen them that small. Have seen some fantastic conversions in 1/35…
I’ve seen some in 1/76, If I can’t get them smaller I might just convert some from15mm land rovers and some plasticard.
Quite liked the idea of doing an enforcer army like Iron-man, but seems to be quite a popular idea. I am not much of a painter, but I reckon black with silver trim and red visor/eyes ala crysis would be the way to go.
My new Enforcers coming with Infestation are going to be chrome like old school Cylons. I already have a dark green/black force and one vlbased on the DC Comic Checkmate 🙂
The number of hobby stores in a 20 mile radius in the US would depend very much on where in the US you are. I spent some time in Iowa last year and I doubt there were more than 1 or 2 if any where I was.
The distance I would go for a game depends on which game I am going to play. If it is an out of production game like VOR or Clan War (great rule set for both) then up to 300 miles. The reason for that is it is a rare to find someone that still plays out of print games. If it is, a current rule set like Warzone, Infinity etc… up to 70 miles. It is always easier to find or demo a game that is supported.
Aw man… VOR… What a blast from the past. Sadly i got rid of almost all my Vor minis due to never getting to play it. I kept all the books though – the background fluff was amazing!
May have to see if i can find some cheap old Vor guys someplace. Don’t suppose you’re within 300 miles of Fife? 😉
Not sure where Fife is at but I will be moving to AR next month. Ironwind metals http://ironwindmetals.com/store/index.php?cPath=94&osCsid=5vlkra72vqn1hd7p1kp90mgj92 still makes the full line of VOR that was released and a few that they were not released. Basically they were ral partha u.s. or you can find good deals on eBay.
I would love to come to the boot camp just so I can meet the Beasts of War team and experience the camaraderie but travelling from Australia is expensive. Another great XLBS guys!
You could always set up a Kickstarter to try and raise the money 🙂
Ahhhh, Wheetos, juice, and an XLBS to kick off Sunday 🙂
happy sunday
first up booked for the bootcamp… 🙂 🙂
@warzan i have lots of pictures from ST Petersburg they kept all their nice buildings and you have to get some of the Russian orthodox churchs in the landscape they are stunning. I have a friends in Russia so if there is anything you particularlr want I can ask if they have any pictures they can send me for you.
First, Enforcers all the way.
Second, on a regular basis I only travel 20 minutes to one of three local gaming stores that have plenty of tables and product (Austin TX area: Dragon’s Lair, Wonko’s, and Rogues Gallery). But I built a gaming room in the house with a table, so a lot of games happen here.
Third, I make the trip to Indy Gen Con every few years. So I do get up and travel when the itch needs to be scratched
It is a curse working in a Mental Hospital. I would love to do the Team Yankee Boot Camp, but my dance card is full with work for November. The Awesome thing about Team Yankee for me will be reenacting an epic scale Red Dawn, with African American Soviets whilst playing Sigue Sigue Sputnik . Gotta love the 80’s
very interested in the rules for aircraft in team yankee always felt that this was a big weekness in flames of war
you guys should live stream a demo game of Team Yankee during the Bootcamp on TwitchTv for all us folks who cant make it, plenty of ppl stream painting miniatures, sculpting garage kits, Board games and War games, privateer press stream games on there, and lets face it kids stream stuff on there without even a tenth of the budget you guys have, so you should have no excuse 😉 😛
Really liking how the warpath universe is developing. They are bulking out the fluff, and the introduction of the plague, asterians and whatever new army may be appearing in the latest Kickstarter is making it feel more like a living, breathing, beast.
When I first saw it, it felt like a 40k knock off. But having collecting a Forge Father army and played v2.0 it’s a fun game without getting too complex.
