Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

I'm actually taking all 3 to a game day next weekend so I'll be taking pics  :D

And after reading through some rule sets I've come to the conclusion that I'm going to have to write my own fantasy rules to get everything that I want. I'll be starting on them tonight and will share when I'm done

Yes please; what's your line of thinking?

We're looking for something that is a fast playing and smooth playing game (about an hour or so for an average game). I'm basically taking the panzer8 combat mechanics and adding a "section activation" style turn, adding rules for multi base units, adding a command/orders mechanic, and smoothing out the kinks. Its basically going to be a mash of mechanics from a dozen different games and what ever I come up with. I may be able to get the first draft done late tonight.

For me, fast and uncluttered every time: it's only a bloody game after all. :)

Very true,  after years of playing warhammer 40k and dealing with volumes of rules I'm ready for a game I can relax and enjoy instead of looking up vague rules for hours

Here is a link to the thread I started for my attempt at a rules set
