I'm so tempted to paint a Sisters of Battle force but use them at a tournament as Space Marines just to watch heads explode πŸ˜‚

Love those stat cards and the upgrade cards! Would you care to share them?

Wash is played by the joker of the group and Kayleigh by someone who doesn't want to be a front rank character but likes the idea that the other players need them.

Any chance of a pdf copy of the record sheet or a photo please?

Where did the Voidfighter record sheets come from? They look better than the official ones.

There were female Marine minis released for the original 40k Rogue Trader and artwork of them in the rulebook.

I think 3rd ed of both 40k and Fantasy Battle were the last ones to be written for fun games, after that the rules seemed to be aimed more at tournie players with fun games between friends a secondary thing.

I've been thinking about the figure count in modern GW armies to ones from early editions of the games. Today's armies seem to have a lot fewer miniatures, but the ones they do have are bigger and/or more powerful ones and usually cost a lot more than the rank and file that dont seem to appear much.

That's really smooth animation for stop motion.

More ships for Voidfighter, this time old 1980s QT models that were made for a game called Starhound. Ork fighter in the second pic for scale.

Very nice! Bob Olley also did some great skeletons for Essex Miniatures.

Any tips on the best way to remove waterside decals from an old plastic model?

I originally painted these Black Shields Aeronautica ships when they released the game, but now they'll be used for Voidfighter instead.

This is the one rpg that you really didn't want to take seriously or personally. I wouldn't dare run it for most of the roleplayers I know today πŸ˜„

They'll appeal, it'll go on for ages costing even more, and if it doesn't go their way they'll declare bankruptcy after shifting their assets, then a new firm will start up almost identical. It's the way these b*****ds work 😑

Had a read through Voidfighter last night. It looks like it could be a fun little game and possibly adaptable for other aerial genres such as WW2.

I'm old enough to remember watching Model World when it was first broadcast, great little series. I highly recommend you have a search for 'Battleground (1978)' on YouTube, you won't be disappointed πŸ™‚
