Firestorm – Rules 2.0 & Rense System Navy get a full release

Fenriryan — Thu, 10 May 2012 09:56:18 +0000

Spartan Games are hard at work again, with an expansion for Dystopian Wars called Hurricane Season, and a new hardback rule book for Firestorm Armdada with a complete and more clear rule set, revised for all the playtesting, errating and so forth.

But that is actually eclipsed by the fleshing out of a much loved 'bad guy' fleet, the Rense System Navy, or RSN.

They already had escorts and a destroyer, but they finally are getting a battleship, carrier, cruiser and heavy cruiser, and they look GREAT!

I can see a small fleet of these guys in my collection just to paint - chrome and crimson comes to mind...

As our 40k tale of X gamers starts up I was wondering if anyone was crazy enough to do a Veer-myn army?

Tyrants & Heroes – Tau Hazardous Environment Cadre

Fenriryan — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 11:38:17 +0000

Responding to disturbing reports of a recent Blood Ravens incursion in Tau space, Shas'O Shadow Nova and Hazardous Environment Cadre have been dispatched to investigate.

This army has been rebuilt, repainted and rethemed several times over the last 10 years - a real labour of love.

Most notable entries are:

The home made Barracudas, Remoras and Tetras

Using old metal XV15 Stealthsuits as Hazard Suited Firewarriors

Converted Pathfinder class Drones with a Harbinger class Devilfish (homage to DoW:DC)

The Cold One based Knarloc Rider conversions (built and donated by Jodi Knight)

My simple but favourite conversion - using flying bases for Shield Generator fields

My themed objective pieces - my HQ support atromech, Hammerhead Commander and Air Caste crew

Having the nerve to look at the FW Shas'O R'Myrs model and thinking he needed more guns if he was to be my army commander

Been a while since any the army saw combat so will be interesting to see what I can do with it against newer codexes.
