Ridiculous

These were going to be the start of a new Khador army – the culmination of months of terribly distracted Karchev proxying – an all extreme (and highly converted) character heavy Karchev army.

But then I built the minis and realised how crazy an idea that was. I don’t have the time to super convert and scratch-build stuff to the level I want, or, if I do have the time, then I don’t really have the money to risk on such expensive models (each jack being the price of two plastic kits … before taking conversion materials into account); especially when one realises that Karchev lists aren’t all that accurately playable – so it’d be base tokens on the table half the time anyway.

And I never truly convinced myself that an all extreme army wasn’t just that little bit too-dickish for me to stomach playing.

It’s such an EXTREMELY awesome idea though, so I wanted to share it on some level…
… so bask with me in the glory of what, at this point, looks like it will never be.

Hawk Wargames – Dropzone Commander

I saw this game a few weeks back, and I thought it was nifty … I’m sure that, by now, almost everyone has seen it.
But it stuck in my mind so I thought I’d make a post about it.

For those that don’t know, it’s a new and upcoming war game, which was IIRC first announced at Salute … and it got a pretty huge response.

It’s a massed battle game – you know, the sort that’s akin to Epic, Spartan Games (US,FA,DW), Historic, etc; it came in from completely off the radar; and the minis it look amazing!

It’s set for release mid July, and until then they’re releasing a different picture of a different mini every day, via their twitter account (and Facebook). Here’s a small collection of them:

I thought I’d never stray from Skirmish games, but if the rules are good I could very much see myself picking up so of these minis – I’ve been watching the twitter releases pretty religiously.

GO CHECK THEM OUT!
