Extra Extra!

As well as the Napoleonic campaign we are currently playing I've also been working through some extra models for a few armies.

First up we have the Hammerfist Drop Troopers for the Forge Fathers. These are based off the Forge Guard models but with some resin parts for the jump back and inferno drill. 


The unit can be used in both Firefight and Deadzone with it dropping onto the table in both games. In Firefight the unit can be dropped onto the table in the open during the first two turns so this gives the Forge Father player an interesting unit to play with that can be used to give their opponent a nasty surprise if they aren't careful. It's 12" range inferno drill means it can drop in and shoot on the turn it lands with a good number of high quality shots. 



The Deadzone version gets to drop onto the table before the game starts and is equally adept and ranged and melee combat. 30 points is pretty expensive though especially in a faction full of high price models.



I've also painted up another unit of ten Stalkers to add to the Veer-myn. My suspicion is that I'm going to need a fair few of these models once we start playing towards 1500 points.




Lastly I've rebased some models I first painted a long time back for my Twilight Kin so they can be used in Mr T's Abyssal Dwarfs. These are the last of the models needed for the list I sketched out to Kings of War: Ambush. This is a smaller game of KoW with forces in the 500-1000 point range and the army building rules slightly changed.


It is probable that this unit will be dropped from the Twilight Kin army list when Mantic relaunch them later this year with new models. The army is going to be more closely aligned with the Nightstalkers rather than the Abyss as it was before.
