Warhammer Battletech Ultramarines

Work in progress

Battletech Miniatures

I am getting into Battletech.  I have a few figures from the 80's that want to come out and play.

Age Of Tyrants - VASA Airforce

OK these are very tasty.

VASA Fighters

And more sweetness VASA Drop Ships

These will be available in the Kickstarter I assume if more people jump in.
I really think AOT has legs with very unique armies and great looking troop selections. Spread the word.

Age Of Tyrants - Clau Units

Age Of Tyrant's Kickstarted just introduced their Clau units

Here are some cool visuals of infantry mixed with vehicles

Here are some rather cool sets

Age of Tyrants Comparison Shots

For those that are interested to see what some of the new Age of Tyrants vehicles look like compared to GW Epic, here are a bunch.  As you can see the vehicles are bigger than the Epic Space Marine Land Raider. 

Troublemaker Games

I received a ton of figures from Troublemaker Games to review and the quality is top notch.  Almost zero flash, with clean detailed sculpts.

For those who love Epic (6mm scale), Troublemaker Games is a great resource.  The infantry for the most part fits nicely in with GW Epic.  The Skinnerz tend to be a good head taller than the GW Epic Ork infantry, but there are some really cool heavy armored troops that work perfectly as leaders.

Troublemaker Games also designs rules. Their first game, Timeline 300, is a 10mm scale Steampunk wargame with a resource management system.

As you can see below, the Troublemaker vehicles are much bigger than their equivalent GW Epic Space Marine counterparts, but should fit in nicely with GW Imperial Guard heavy tanks and vehicles.

Epic Armageddon

I have been in the Epic mode of late building an Orkish Epic army. 

Epic is officially OOP (Stupid Decision), but that doesn't stop loads of people from playing.  For those that haven't tried Games Workshop Epic or for those that haven't played in a while, you might want to check these links out. 

Epic Armageddon Compendium - This is the latest version of the rules and has army lists for the 40K universe.

Net Epic Army Compendium Calculator - This site has a great free army calculator for building out your Epic armies.

Epic Army Cards - These cards really help you know what the unit looks like and what it can do.  Very useful.

Epic Collectors Guide - Has a ton of images of all the Epic models produced.

Tactical Command - Fantastic Forum for all things Epic.

Here are places to find GW Epic Stuff
Amazon
Bartertown
ChaosOrc
Ebay
Tactical Command

Here are some great sites for finding alternative Epic sculpts

Onslaught Miniatures - Lots of alternative Epic figures.
Steel Crown Productions - Good site for alternative Epic.
Troublemaker Games - Great alternative Epic figures.

Now for those that have Supa Stompas, Steam Gargants laying around and don't know what to do with them, send them my way.

Marhaf Legion, PlasmaBlast Games

Well I finally got my new Marhaf Legion figures from Marios.  There was a mix up in addresses, but all is good.

I have to say these are some of the best 6mm vehicles I have seen in quite some time.  The detail is really really good.  The tanks fit in perfectly with the other PlasmaBlast Games Progenitor and the Orbital Combine armies.

Marios introduced a new size tank with the Marhaf Legion.  It's called the Maarghast - Heavy Assault Tank.  As you can see from the pictures below it's larger than the heavy tanks, but smaller than the Super Heavy Tanks.  The guns are massive and look like they could easily punch a hole in any vehicle that is out there including the Super Heavies.

I really love the look of the Marhaf Legion.  The figures are a little more detailed than the previous armies vehicles, but they still fit in very well with all of them.  As you can see there isn't any scale creep or anything that looks out of place.

Beyond the current vehicles, Marios says he is working on new designs and should have a few more figures out this year.  He has been working on another vehicle for the Marhaf Legion that is simply awesome and will be a must buy, regardless if you collect 6mm or not.  It is that cool.  I would give more intel, but it's under wraps right now.

Angel Barracks - Regional Defense Force

Looking for some nice 6mm Sci-Fi. Angel Barracks has some pretty sweet vehicles and troopers from their Regional Defense Force.  The tank variant is a prototype and not available yet.

Plasmablast Games, Marhaf Legion

Just got an email from Mario over at Plasmablast Games.  He had some exciting news about the Marhaf Legion.  These represent the 3rd 6mm army in the Plasmablast Games lineup. 

It has taken Marios about 2 years to get them to this point.  They are very intimidating without being over the top.

Prices range from 1.7€ for the medium tanks to 3.8€ for the double track heavies. 

Mario will be adding more options to the Marhaf Legion, Progenitor and Orbital Combine later this summer.

PlasmaBlast Games, Progenitor, Orbital Combine

It seems that a lot of gamers are sort of mixed about how to base their 6mm infantry and vehicles if at all.  Last night I decided to really think about the best way to go about doing this and I think I have come up with some good solutions.

Normal Sized Infantry - base them 3 to 5 per stand using a 40x15mm stand.

Large Infantry - base them 1 to 3 per stand using a 40x20mm stand

Small Vehicles - base them 2 to 3 per stand using a 40x20mm stand.

Large Vehicles - base them 1 per stand using a 30x40mm stand.

Very Large Vehicles/Monsters - Here I think you can use either square or round bases.  For Vehicles

I will probably opt for either a 40x40mm stand or larger.  For Monsters I tend to like round bases and I am thinking 40mm or 50mm should be sufficient. 

Below are some samples of Plasmablast Games vehicles for both the Progenitor and Orbital Combine forces.
