About the Project

So this project is officially 10 years in the making. i backed the original Kickstarter back in 2013 and whilst i had high hopes for the game as i love the setting after a few games it never really clicked. THen they company went bust and i never recieved my Thunderchild or Overseer Tripods and slowly the box went further and further into the shed. There were rumblings of the game returning at some point but nothing ever really happend but a year or so ago i came across them and after a few hours of sifting through the sprues and bags of metal i started toying with the idea of tweaking the rule on my own and getting my beloved Tripods and Mk2 tanks back on the table. No sooner had i started considering what i was going to do with the rules i saw a post saying that the game was coming back. Initially i wasnt to keen, once bitten and all that but then i saw the OTT interview with the new owner and i was intrigued as he soke really well about what the vision was. Once i checked out a turn breakdown i was sold as the rules they were moving to seemd on a par with what i was considering so out came the credit card and back in time i went!!

And with he dulcet sounds of Ken Nordine whispering sweet Beige nothings in my ear we start with undercoating the German infantry company.

Next up I need some Alien Filth to kill so it’s a simple colour bash on the Lobotrons. Basically it’s just speedpaints over a white zenith with metal claws / guns. Nothing fancy here!Next up I need some Alien Filth to kill so it’s a simple colour bash on the Lobotrons. Basically it’s just speedpaints over a white zenith with metal claws / guns.

And that’s the tank done, forgot to mention the wash was a 3/1 medium dark tone mix applied after the drybrush And that’s the tank done, forgot to mention the wash was a 3/1 medium dark tone mix applied after the drybrush
