Dystopian Legions!

Hello chaps, I thought I’d put a quick post out – I had my first game of Dystopian Legions last night, and really enjoyed! For those that don’t know, Dystopian Legions is a steampunk skirmish game, set in an alternate timeline around the 1870’s. It’s 32mm truescale, and has some lovely models. We have the major empires of the time represented, and it looks like each is nuanced to favour a particular style of play. My pal Matt was good enough to lend me half of his Kingdom of Britannia force, and we had a good scrap with the aim of testing the rules and having a laugh. I should point out that Matt only has one or two games under his belt, so we were referring to the rules a lot :-)

Hello chaps, I can’t believe it has been almost a month since I last posted! Life has been pretty hectic with work, travel & studies so I’ve been on a real go-slow on the hobby these last weeks… What little time I have had has been spent on what is (I feel) by best project to date. L’s and G’s, I give to you…

Hello chaps, a very quick post from me today – I just wanted to share some WIP shots to give an idea of what I’m up to at the moment. First up is this handsome chap:

He’s based on Krom Dragongaze from Stormclaw, mixed up with bits from the Skullreaper/Wrathmonger kit… He’s shaping up nicely IMO – still vaguely Imperial looking, but barbarous and chaotic at the same time. The idea is to reimagine the Stormclaw dataslate as a wolf pack that is on the turn as that daemonic axe slowly warps his mind. I’ll be mulling over a decent backstory over the coming weeks, and this project will be a slow burner model-wise, but I think we’re off to a good start. You can expect a Blanchesque approach to the painting – comments welcome :-)

 

I also got a few of my Rogue Trader Pirates based up:

I’m just going to slowly paint my way through these guys on a per model basis – the aim here is to have fun and paint stuff that isn’t a uniform! Hopefully the end result will be a group of models that can be used in a number of ways – conscripts, gangers, cultists… even pirates!

Peace out Brothers – until next time.
