Cheers BL.

I had a rummage around in the 'back office' area and i think i've turned the follower button on now.

OK, the Necromunda saga continues with a bit of progress on a few of the foot soldiers.

Hmmmm...
Like you L.....Not sure that colour scheme really works.
Somehow doesn't look quite 'right'.
Cheers - Phil.

Yeah, i'm not happy with it really.  In game this thing will be a 100+ ton monster so i think a battleship dazzle pattern would have been better.

I think with the other three i'll stick to a flat grey colour embellished with 'iron cross' motifs and battle damage.

So what do you think i did wrong on the camo-scheme?  It doesn't look right to me but i can't tell why.

[Techno]

Difficult to say L.....
The colours just don't seem to work together somehow.....Almost too complex in a way ??
Sorry.....Don't think that's going to help to you very much is it ?
I think 'plainer' will work much better.
Shame really....I can tell a lot of work's gone into that !
Cheers - Phil.

Very interested to see what you think of Maurice. I'm going to try and stick with Warlord Games' rulebooks for the near future at least but I've a homemade ruleset that uses hexes and cards that I use to try out unpainted lead    It looks (from your picture) that Maurice uses cards as well? Be interested to know how that works?

Nice big Tank on your blog btw... don't fancy charging that with SYW cavalry

Luddite,

Love your Russians! I am also looking at ways to use my existing SYW figures for Maurice.   One question - is there a particular reason for your Russians carrying Hanoverian flags?

Well, because the pack with the flags in said they were Russian flags?

Not being clued up on the period i took the supplier at their word.

Aye, we've played it a bit and its very good.  Once i've got a good understanding of the system i'll probably post up a review.

Odd mistake for the retailer to make, really!   They still look spiffy

Great report, like the pub references!

[Luddite]

Glad you liked it Lemmey.  The Chopwell Communists aren't done yet.  We'll be fighting a last desperate battle again next week. 

It's the final gasp for the Reds and if they can't break through this time, their counter-advance will peter out restoring the front line to where it was before the Royalists invaded High Hold.

Should be fun!
