Inq et nunc - Wurmbi, Jokaero

One of the fun things about shifting scale is that figures can take on a different feel. A large hulking figure can become small and nimble or vice versa. I plan to use a few figures in 54mm for Inquisitor that were originally intended for use in 28mm games. My new jokaero character, Wurmbi is available from L72's Miniatures Musings and was designed as a leader / alpha for a group of techno space apes. That said, he's large enough to be a credible jokaero in 54mm gaming!

Wurmbi points out some interesting tech to Dick Slevlan.

Five Parsecs from Home Crew #1 - Jokaero

A few weeks ago my good friend cheetor mentioned the Modiphius Five Parsecs from Home rules as something we ought to explore for future gaming sessions. The game requires a 6-strong starship crew for narrative solo or co-op skirmish gaming. The crew is mainly humans but with the option to sprinkle in some robots and aliens. Over the next few days my response was pretty much as follows:

1. Grab some miscellaneous miniatures and start playing around with what looked like a fun crew.
2. Buy the Five Parsecs from Home book and do some detailed planning of a crew.
3. Realise I could easily add another 4 models to use the Parsecs crew as a Stargrave crew.
4. Start modelling and painting the 10-strong Parsecs+ crew.
5. Get excited about other linked sub-groups and opportunities to paint other models in my collection.
