This is a thread for my wargame: KUIPER BELT 8 (KB8) if this name is owned by anyone else please PM or leave a reply and i will have it changed.

The figures below contain no elements from other games, all minis are designed, produced and named by Big Mek Studios Wargaming. (Me)

Now all the admin stuff is over with...

This is a thread for KUIPER-8 a wargame which i came up with in my spare time. for years i have wanted to create a wargame entirly of my own design and now with a commision/wargame studio and my imagination that has come to life.

Just to clarify i work with 2 others (my friends) at BMSW but i am the creator and this project has not been influenced by the rest of the team.

The game uses a 30mm base system based in 3500 AD in the olar system, all the planets have their own attributes and warriors.

The factions...

Mercury - synonimous with fire

Venus - Focuses on speed and suprise - based on ancient rome

Earth - large in numbers

Mars - mechanics and defense - based on futeristic industrial revelution

Jupiter - loves big machines and tough troopers

Saturn - favours magic and power - based uopn ancient egypt

Uranus - favours strategy

Neptune - favours water based weapons - based on the notion of atlantis

Pluto - favours stealth
