Revamping an old idea!
A long time ago in a Galaxy Far Far Away, a Brave…….
Hang on someones done that!
Ok so the aim of this project is to revamp an old idea from a Battletech participation game, my group put on over 30 years ago with a handful of 1/72nd scale mech kits from Robotech/ Dougram Manga, some FASA 25mm House Steiner infantry and Denizan Venusians. It used modified Battletroops and had been set in a huge Mech Factory, with Mechs trying to engage hidden infantry hiding in the various Factory nooks and corners, ambushing them as they moved through.
I Know want to use a similar idea but set it in the 40K universe, using the New Imperial Knights trying to oust a force of Necrons from an Imperial Facility.
This project hopefully have the following elements to it.
1) An intresting scenario devlopment
2) Rule adaptation , I intend the base rules from 40k with some ideas from Renegade Knight, Chain of Command to change initiative and put in some Fog of war.
3) A battle report! much mentioned by Lance and Big Ben at last weeks Hobby Hangout.
The name of this project came from the original Participation game , and was a final comment from a Steiner Staff officer who was breifing the. Infantryunits on defending the Factory, units that noticed he wasnt going with them. The No 3, 3rd version we used the name for a Silent Death participation game 10 years later
For anyone interested in the development of my Knightly Force look up my project
