Space game from Cold Wars 2016 - Part 1

To All,

 

Here are a few shots of the Space Game that Mike Lung and I put on Cold Wars 2016.

 

Different factions land on the cheese planet. Sensing the danger the native beings, the Frigonians, man the walls and get ready to defend their village. In the far right corner the Galacteers and the Valkeeri have set up a base while on the left corner the space orcs are moving in looking to scavenge anything useful. A ship lands next to the wreckage in the middle of the board - The Robot Legion has arrived. Haters of anything organic they are on the planet to find a deadly virus and secure a nuke!

In the middle a group of Radon Zombies from the Ionosphere, along with their queen, have crash landed. In the wreckage the zombies are hiding a container of the "zombie virus" and, lo and behold, a couple of nukes.
Readers of this Blog will recognize Bill G (the smiling guy on the left) who was walking by and I asked him to run the zombies. He had another game in a couple of hours but played because I told him the zombies wouldn't last more than two turns.



Hot on the trail of the Robot Legion, the Grymn arrive and start dealing with the Robots.  Oh no, a group of minibots have discovered the nukes. The Galacteers and orcs know they are in peril and move out to assist the Grymn. The Radon Zombies, taking full advantage of the shoot-out between the Robot Legion and everything else on this side of the board, start moving the Queen and the Virus to a safer spot.



 The Galacteers use their jump packs to get into the fray. 

Meanwhile the space mice have landed and, being adrift in space, were low on supplies. They capture (and start eating) the Frigonians (who are made of cheese) and attack the village. The second Robot Legion ship descends and attack the mice in the rear. The mice send their vehicles to intercept the Robots

The Galacteers use their heavy weapon to destroy the Robot's ship, causing them to start a rear guard action while slowly moving towards their other ship. They leave the minibots behind to tie-up the enemy so they can escape.

Brigade Games Goblin Space Wars by The Stout Smurf ....

To All,

I painted up some Brigade Games Goblin Space Wars figures. Here are they are split into the two units and the bases flocked.

They are smaller than I'm used to painting (because the Gnomes are so large) but they have great detail on them.

The Goblins call in some support......

To All,

In a previous post  I showed some  Brigade Games Goblin Space Wars figures
that are going to be in action on Friday night at Cold Wars.  Every other faction and race that is going to land on Planet P has some sort of heavy support so I figured that the goblins should have some, too. I painted up a Clanking Destroyer by Kromlech.

Here is the unit with the Clanking Destroyer. I painted it up using the same color scheme as the goblins so that it "fit" into the unit and didn't look like something that just showed up.

 

A couple of shots of the Clanking Destroyer from different angles.



 

A couple of pictures of the unit.
