Cheers Cam - As my more apocalyptic predictions so far haven't come to pass, I'm going to sound a note of cautious optimism for this year, as long as we hold our nerve...

Cool little battlefield. Reminds me of the old school photos of big battles from the original Rogue Trader and Epic Spacemarine books. Before they had established the overwrought gothic aesthetic of the current games.

Over the last 18 months or so our modelling skills have come on apace, largely thanks to many of the posters here on Dakka. Hopefully we can post the odd thing you guys will enjoy, and the karmic balance will be complete!

You know when I made these, I quickly decided to gift them to other members of my group…as the were dangerous to place and have troops near them.

Glorious alien cacti. Wonderful to behold. Reminding us not every planet out there has pine trees on it. Never knew why the alien life was not expanded more. Just think they could have the ip for purple trees and orange with green polkadot shrubberies!

That's a VERY good point - back in RT you had rules for damn near anything and everything... they missed a trick there

Skinflint Games,

First image link is messed up, needs the [ for the IMG close.

Never played Combat Zone, but it looks bit like a one floor Necromunda set.

Cheers CB, fixed now - yeah, I think that's the idea, but it feels very different to GW turn structures. When we've got thr contents painted there'll be a battle report coming
