hey all, long time been looking for an amusing fun system to play on the side. I play a lot of flames of war and play in a lot of tournaments, just about to pack my bags to go to the longest running flames of war tourney in history, its doubles again this year, will be a blast!
grunts for me is a chance to do something totally different and use some of the great 15mm sci fi models I find online
currently have 2 forces in the works, and wanted some general feedback.
The Corporation
evil nasty interstellar conglomerate, has its only rather nasty armed forces, the models are Rebels 'Titan marines' also have 4 of the gunship/transport models for them so they will be air mobile ep.yimg.com/ca/I/yhst-51356505839231_2164_1163604 using the missile gunship as the primary transport, and the actual transport variant as the command vehicle them will also be supported by some mechs from E4M
list wise I was going to go for above average crack troops, likely laser tech, with likely hardened vets perk, nothing too exotic
The Scourge
also have the space Arabs from rebel and they are my opposing force, the models suggest lighter tech base and slug rifles, figured they would have just mech support and the infantry would be lightly equipped and have the infiltration perk to counterbalance the air mobile nature of the The Corporation, their mechs would still be nasty though
haven't decided which side will get them but I feel like using the specialist able to create a telepath, armed with a pistol, a personal shield, the powers being the telepathy perk and the phase gun just coming and screwing with people.
a few mates are interested one desperately wants the Kaamados Dominion, Dragamaa Heavy Tanks with Heavy Plasma Cannons to build his force around which will be intresting
another wants the bee bugs from Khurasan
I also want an excuse to paint up a bunch of oldcrow grav tanks
already have some terrain in the works, I really like painting desert forces so looks like we will do a sci fi desert table which will make for interesting tanks/mechs but also a spaceport/dockyard/industrial area is in the works
will take some pics when I get some time for paint to hit model, which will be in about 3 weeks I suspect
