More War Rocket - ZynVaded!

Okay,  got the rulebook and some miniatures Thursday night.  The rules are great, fast and fun.  More on that soon.

The miniatures are great.  Very clean.  I really like the style of the sculpts.  True to pulp... actually had to go out and find Flash Gordon this weekend.  Watched it last night while painting. 

I also got ZynVaded! this Saturday.  Great little game and the miniatures are good looking.  The rules are short and sweet.  I think it will be a great game to play for the kids.   More on ZynVaded! later.

Here are a few pictures:

A few ZynVaded! pictures first.  I love the Chinese togo box as the game box.

ZynVaded!

ZynVaded! minis are nice size.

War Rocket pictures:

The Valkeeri

Primed.  A little issue with primer, caused a few bubbles.  I switched to a new can.

Color scheme

Class III

The Zenithians

I wasn't to hot on the Zenithians but after basing them and doing some initial color schemes on them I think I'm really going to like them.  I also think playing them in the game is going to be very interesting.  They have the most unique movement of the 4 races right now.

Class III

Class IV.  This is a large ship. 2.75 " across.

First look at a fleet color.

Here are a couple of pictures of the washers I used in the bottom of the bases. This works very well.

Yet another new and interesting game

Just look at the cover at for the book.  Got to love the Quar.
I have some more pictures to post tomorrow.  I also am working on a review of the rule book.

Long time... no update.

Hopefully getting back into the action. Soccer season took a toll on my painting.  Played a great game this based weekend - Martian Empries.  Check it out here http://martianwarlords.blogspot.com/

Out the next week but have Martian Empires, LaSalle, and a few others on the desk to paint.  And of course Quar.

Have a great 4th!!!

Quar on a Stick

Here are a few pictures of my 15mm Quar on their painting stick.  All of these are Crusaders without helmets.  I going to paint up 2 units using two different uniform colors and skin colors with one unit being without helmets, the other with helmets.  That way I can use as opposing forces until the Cofytrans are completed.

Quar terrain

Okay, last night a spent a while surfing old WWI trench pictures. Yesterday I pulled out the 15mm Quar and the rule book and got interested in Quar again.  I'm looking at different rules sets to use with 15mm but right now I think I'm going to try This Quar's War and just change inches to cm.  Anyway,  here is the board I worked on this afternoon.  It was finally a nice day here in Atlanta, so I wasted it on the terrain board.

Here is test of using toothpicks in the trenchline.  Also the blue is going to be sandbags.  Still need to work on them.

 

Here is what the board layout looks like:

 

 

I used my Dremel on the craters 

Getting ready to prime the board.  Some sand, white gule and latex paint. I also added some rock outcropings.  

 

Here is the board primed with sand and mix of the latex paint and gule.  I then built up around the crater holes with extra sand.  Notice the 3 Quar in the crater.  Also, a test of wire block. 

 

Here is the board after several colors of spray paint where added.  Dark Green on the back edges Some red/brown on the trenchlines and No Man's Land.  Then tan along the trench edges.  I will go back and dry brush the details
