Fallout 32mm Miniatures Game

Todays post is about the upcoming Fallout miniatures game from Modiphius Miniatures.  

First up, a bit about why I love Fallout...

People who I talk computer games know I love this series.  I got Fallout (1) on the strength of the PC Gamer review on the day of release.  The dark comedy was great, and got better in Fallout 2 (who can forget Sleeping with a gangsters wife and daughter and then steal everything in his safe).  The isometric, turn based system added to the joy.  I could never really get into fallout tactics though.  Then Black Isle went under and I was Heart broken... 

Skip forward too many years,  and the owners of my other favourite role playing franchise bought the rights (ok, so the legal side was far more complicated than this), and Fallout 3 was born.  I played mainly on the the Xbox, and It took me a couple of attempts to get into this game (probably because I was still a pic gamer at heart) but I started to love this too, even if the black humour was less good.  I played this far too much in fact, hundreds of hours indeed.

Then at last Fallout 4 was born.  The suits of powered armour finally looked the way they should.  I could rebuild the wasteland.  Build sentry guns.  Spend HOURS AND DAYS looking for wood and cement!  Love it still.  Play it still.  I have a Pip-Boy dammit!

So since day one I wanted a Miniatures game. Let me just say the renders released look awesome.

It's stated game model count is from 3 to 30 models.  The scale is in 32mm scale, so will be 40k compatible.  The company doing it have some successful games, you may have heard of infinity.....

Halo Ground Combat UNSC Update

Today's post is about Halo Ground Command UNSC.  I've been steadily working on these guys now. I have to stay the models are fantastic, but some of the casts have been a little dodgey.  Overall, the models are quick to clean, glue and assemble.

this is where I'm up too.  The models with basing done still need clump foliage and grass.

The long hobby war continues...

Titan Owners Club - now open to Knight Titans

todays post is about the membership changes over at Titan Owners Club.

You can see the announcement here.

Basically, TOC is now accepting knights.  Unlike Titans however they are only accepting full paint "banners".  Based off the information released, a banner is a group of 3+ knights.  This include Ork Stompas, Tau Battle suits, and Eldar Wraithknights in addition to the Imperial knights we know and love.

If you wish to join, just follow the instructions in the linked post.

Legio Custodes - Warders of the Vaults of Rython

Today's post is about my Legio Custodes force. The majority of the force will be clad in the traditional Gold of the Legio Custodes, however one unit of Custodian Guard will be clad in the black of the Warders of the Vaults of Rython.  These were a behind the scenes formation of Custodes, not known in the imperial records until their inclusion in the Prospero censure force.  They were vital in holding both the counter attacks of the Thousand Sons, ave slaying the twisted and mutated beings during the attack of Tizca.

The starting size of the unit will be five models, but I will expand this as I accumulate more of the Games Workshop plastic Custodes.  I'm hoping that Forgeworld release an upgrade pack with the Pyrithite Spear and the Adrasite Spear soon.  I'm not going to take a Vexilla as I think the unit looks better without.

In game terms, I'm initially think of equipping my Custodes with Teleporation Transponders.  Dropping 16 Custodes in your face would be useful I think 🤔.

I really like this colour scheme and they will really stand out on the table.

Legio Custodes

Today's post is about my Legio Custodes project.  This is quite early doors at the moment, and will never be massive.  Currently it's target is 21 infantry, two dreads, one tank and a grav attack.

I will likely grow it at some point, to include a couple of additional grav attacks, Additional infantry, some jet bikes, a transport or two, Valador, and the heavy dread. I may also bulk up the force with sisters of silence.

Currently, half the infantry are built, as are one dread, the Caladius grav-tank, and the Pallas Grav-attack (no picture).

Here's the progress so far:

The long hobby war contiunes...
