ATZ-FFO : Building up the village

Few updates on the village houses that will be used for the Game 2 (and likely Game 3).

Those are Dave Graffam houses, made from paper and a special trick to fold them when not in use. As Hong Kong is a place where the square feet is the most expensive on Earth, any small space saved is a relief for the family.

Houses of the village

 

All the houses folded into one stack

 As I moved forward in the cutting and gluing, I finally found a better way to have 1. a sturdy roof and 2. a foldable one.
Again, I had rushed 1 house before my brain functioned as it should be and I have one fixed roof and 5 foldable

Next one is a bigger house, more a manor. Greenish and gloomy, it is dedicated to the German force and maybe any bad guy lair.
It has 2 entrances, a hall, a main 1-storey building and a 2-storey tower, all with an attic for a sniper?
All windows are barred, which will be handy when the zombie apocalypse break havoc in the community.

New Minis for ATZ-FFO

Hi,

A quick update on new minis to be used during my ATZ-FFO games or even Secret of the Third Reich.

They are a commission from Dragon Paint (http://www.dragonpaintingservice.com/). These are 33 mini, with a mix of Germans (to be used as Gangers, German soldiers deserting the army as the world fall into the Zombie Apocalypse), American Airborne, wounded British Para, and civilians.

I like the work done on the civilians because it gives really a feeling of part civilians without any military background and the amateurish resistant and the warrior like commandos.

I plan to use these troops also during my SOTR games as partisans for the French forces.

New Year resolutions

Happy New Year to everybody. A late call, but better later than never.

So, with the New Year went some resolutions. First of all, buy all I can do before end of 2012 and try to stop buying in 2013. 

Already busted that call with 5 Grey Knight Terminators at the local store...

Other resolutions are:

• Limiting myself to 4 game system (SOTR/BE, Necromunda/Inquimunda, HOTT, one game of corridor gaming like Space Hulk/Run 'n Steel/Battle for Alabaster)
•  Paint as many miniature as possible. The goal is to reach 60% painted
• Get 1 ATZ scenario per month, or 12 this year.

I am working on my second scenario for ATZ, with more details on it later, when I have found the right thing to do. My first scenario complicated the whole plot with the hero twisting his ankle badly.

I have also decided to give a go to small scale Warhammer 40k after I left it after the 2nd edition. I looked at all the army and decided to play Inquisition (where the Grey Knight Terminators will fit) and fluff it a little bit with an Inquisitor named Corteaz that allows irregular stuff.

And there it is, the start of an infantry based henchmen of the Pax Inquisitoria Legio

the first 7 henchmen. I need to explain what is the guy on the left

What to do with these guys? No idea, but they are real fun!
