The only better than more tanks is bigger tanks!
Like the Sabres and Rapiers before them, I decided to simply glue the turret and articulated arms in place. They’re just too finicky otherwise.
I really want to like the Scimitars, but so far I haven’t been very successful at taking advantage of their range. I dig the giant laser sitting on top, though.
This model is a limited release alternate sculpt for the War Pig that was available during Wyrd’s Easter sale this year.
I wanted to really own the whole Easter thing, so went straight for a neon pink bunny and bright patterned eggs.
Assembling the rear rider required several sacrifices to the carpet gods — I lost one of his ears (separate ears bits, really?) and a foot, which was replaced with an egg. I dropped an arm and managed to run it over with my chair before finding it, so it’s a little smushed. Fortunately, the whole model came together pretty well.
Since starting Dropzone Commander, I’ve managed to make it to a couple of game days and tournaments. I’ve learned a lot, still get confused by CQB, and commit my forces too soon.
The number one lesson, of course, is more models! A bunch of new infantry came out this summer, and I’m a sucker for new, so I figured they’d make a good next step.
I’m not quite sure how I feel about the mortar teams. I haven’t found their concussive blast to be useful at all, since I haven’t found people trying to shoot me from buildings too much, and I run out of reasonable targets for E6 weapons.
The Hazard Suits, though, I really love. E7 Focus-2 gets to high strength pretty quickly, and they’re pretty durable.
Of course, everybody needs a ride.
I previously showed the large base members of the Crossroads 7. Now it’s time for the small bases.
Pride was the hardest of this bunch to base. His stretching leg is way too long to fit on a 30mm. I considered giving him some kind of log to rock out onto, but decided he should do an awesome kick instead. Just don’t think too much about what his ankle is doing.
I fear for the bow on this model. I’m pretty sure I’ll lose it about the third time I take it out of foam.
I regret painting flesh tones on the legs, instead of some colored leggings. Otherwise, a pretty decent model.
There’s something about this guy that cracks me up. I like the shovel/guitar thing. The hat is pretty sweet, too.
