Bloooood on the Oil...

So the Tor Meggido campaign has got started with a whole ton of gun fire and bad dice rolls as is always part of the course isn't it?

The Thing makes a break for the centre.

Well...that didn't work.

My wily enemy using autoguns to pin down the Stash Gangers.

Oh god run!

The firefight was a fun one with the advantage switching hands a couple of times between us. Eventually I was the victor although I had taken as many casualties.  The Thing actually died out on the battlefield but I had enough creds to replace him.

On Tor Megiddo life is cheap & The Docs are expensive!

Tor Megiddo - Oil & Blood

Along with Warboos Kurgan, Godfather Viktor and another pair of ash waste nomads the Tor Meggido: Oil & Blood campaign will be kicking off next week proper.

I have put together a gang of miscreants whose name and motives are pretty much lifted wholesale from the classic Cyberpunk book, Jeff Noon's Vurt.  Basically, they rag it around the wastes of Tor Megiddo with their Stash Wagon, trying to find as many stimms and other interesting drugs as they can find in the desert wreckage.

Maybe one day they will make it to Burning Man?

Warm innit?

Kill Team

Nothing like a release of a brand new rule set to get miniatures back on the table and ready to go! I played my first games of Kill Team last night, nice simple Open Play games at 55pts with my recently-returned-to-the-hobby friend.

We knocked through 2 close games in the space of the evening which is pretty good going considering we were learning as we went as well!

My Tech Gangers, more from these lads to come soon. #OilAndBloodTorMegiddo

Awakened Dire Avengers.

Death from above! (He missed)

Stalking each other through the landscape.

Uh-oh!

Up close and personal fighting.

We both loved really enjoyed these games and the little touches that have been added to Kill Team certainly elevate it as a rule set over 40K.  To be honest, I can see it totally replacing 40K now for my 42nd Millennium kick!

Did me some photos

Inspired by Iron Sleet's excellent guide and helped by those most brilliant of people Curis and Tears of Envy I made myself a light box out of card and sticky back plastic and tried to actually get some shots of my models I don't hate.

The set up (I soon moved the lamp away from the edge)

 My first shot. I brightened the shot and fiddeled around with the Cast setting*

Tech Gangers!

Some ne'er do well Marines.

This morning I was thinking over the photos and now I am actually more inspired to get back painting than I ever have before! A success in my eyes.

 Looks it is like White Dwarf and everything! Many thanks to Curis for the background.

*I have no idea what that means.
