My Fatties Crew was a little thin on the ground and as Warlord Games has brought out the Block War Fatties, it seemed a good opportunity to expand the crew.</span></p><span style="color: #f6b26b;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYzfChHlKxqUyp68llmTbdP5Q-qhvyB1lSa-zplM-b51mlXRmYxUVkc1RA81oMzO5aXIrMAagXhzrvLw6R8tMjq9wl223ka4_3fUGqiKoxWXFsrHoescJRx4jhpJMwHYbbfGpZifkTLEfw75krKDCYoDUtNIfWxbCJXvTYrPfjTdQ7zo_OteV62bssaFo/s2672/20240219_190515.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2127" data-original-width="2672" height="255" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYzfChHlKxqUyp68llmTbdP5Q-qhvyB1lSa-zplM-b51mlXRmYxUVkc1RA81oMzO5aXIrMAagXhzrvLw6R8tMjq9wl223ka4_3fUGqiKoxWXFsrHoescJRx4jhpJMwHYbbfGpZifkTLEfw75krKDCYoDUtNIfWxbCJXvTYrPfjTdQ7zo_OteV62bssaFo/s320/20240219_190515.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /><span>The Fattie on the left is Lardie McDoughnut. </span><span>This guy is the Fatty of Fatties. Lardie is the guy (or the size at least) the other Fatties aspire to. He is another Fattie that fled the world of Megapolis (link </span><span><a href="https://mattblackgodsworld.blogspot.com/2021/12/starport-scum-3-fatties.html">https://mattblackgodsworld.blogspot.com/2021/12/starport-scum-3-fatties.html</a> ) due his involvement in the failed "Fattie Coup". </span><span>Lardie is so large that he needs some help moving about from a couple of goons hired in the Starport. Being the size of Fattie means he is a bullet magnet and body armour in his size is difficult to find. So he made his own improvised armour looted from the last kitchen the Fatties rumbled into.</span>
<br /><br /><span>Johnny Spambo is the Fattie on the right. </span><span>Unlike other Fatties, Spambo has a second interest besides gorging. After watching an ancient Earth holoflik (re-re-re mastered) series uncountable times, Spambo believes he is a living incarnation of the main character of those movies even mimicking the accent and speech patterns of the main character. He dresses in a similar old earth military fashion and trains, as far as a Fatty can or wants to train. Spambo has read any special forces manual he can find further building his self belief that he is a one man army.</span></span></span><div><span style="color: #f6b26b;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><span><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #f6b26b;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrIl0MqPDy26QdHeMZRzuAYjSynyLSElgMJ4LH3XXJxNMrWPaMgb9lUPcwywiciEcFIghNFSlv6arwc_YeQ-xA7CfDy92xQw9JBcudxL2HaDf-Rcoes1ziG35QNY2A7wxxIS7bDlbh9XnwUrzRNyBprFMBMGVIqhNDUNcjRp6pBEWuI0NZGsTWKUWoAtM/s2773/20240219_190533.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2364" data-original-width="2773" height="273" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrIl0MqPDy26QdHeMZRzuAYjSynyLSElgMJ4LH3XXJxNMrWPaMgb9lUPcwywiciEcFIghNFSlv6arwc_YeQ-xA7CfDy92xQw9JBcudxL2HaDf-Rcoes1ziG35QNY2A7wxxIS7bDlbh9XnwUrzRNyBprFMBMGVIqhNDUNcjRp6pBEWuI0NZGsTWKUWoAtM/s320/20240219_190533.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />The Fatties are fun to paint and I hope there will be more Fatties released by Warlord Games in future.

<br /><br /><b><span>Pesha Zil </span>
<br /></b><br /><span>Pesha fled her homeworld of Iyo looking for adventure. Currently she is hanging around spaceports looking for work as a ship's crew member.

The colour choices for this figure came from what ever was going on the pallet at the time. I plan to use this figure in games of Five Parsecs from home or Stargrave (if I ever get around to playing them). One of my future plans for Maddans world will be for gangs of adventurers looking for the precious Sol Stones or the rumoured wreckage of the Maddan Expedition. So there is a chance she will turn up there. </span></span><!--/data/user/0/com.samsung.android.app.notes/files/clipdata/clipdata_bodytext_240227_185302_842.sdocx--></span><div><span style="color: #f6b26b; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><span><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #f6b26b; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><span>Thanks for looking, stay safe out there. </span></span></div></div>mattblackgodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09611987054053476126noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113388046887237792.post-33052970363630871982024-02-27T18:38:00.008+00:002024-02-27T18:38:58.596+00:00The Lady!<p><span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"> Hello and welcome back</span></p><span style="color: #f9cb9c; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /><span>I finally got around to some more denziens of Mattblackgod’s world. </span>

In time they found a small unchartered Jungle planet and settled it. They named their world "Baddawgs Landing" after their leader. Today Baddawg's Landing has a small scattered civilisation on it. The warriors maintain their now generations old power armour and equipment. They also maintain the codes of honour instilled in them by the legendary Baddawg and their ancestors. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-QkbXu8nlToSe3ngH0jNOEKEnZHYoYMcBAg6qWdOLfEYpNHZZIY5lnzz9eCAVqusd-xHpt3yN6Q-lycthMh270VpRVDfAVqCxFwL6F4x5aCykMObfj9oVXwR4g_eP0yOTGaqosT3Qko4PFNQuoJFTqxufGv9e_5HYJvuTH6dqeaPEDMMEa485ajOWKKU/s2714/20240219_190908.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2171" data-original-width="2714" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-QkbXu8nlToSe3ngH0jNOEKEnZHYoYMcBAg6qWdOLfEYpNHZZIY5lnzz9eCAVqusd-xHpt3yN6Q-lycthMh270VpRVDfAVqCxFwL6F4x5aCykMObfj9oVXwR4g_eP0yOTGaqosT3Qko4PFNQuoJFTqxufGv9e_5HYJvuTH6dqeaPEDMMEa485ajOWKKU/w400-h320/20240219_190908.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVs8NFcQpg77wFSj2_idG_8qAz-Y4On4nJL6qS1ApPz80scr7BWWeGllI6DsOgGBBWFX9luWuYLo2F-xO1u9_GF4LdEv5owyB5gPGyf-ievrXJ5wnwtEpcvDJqZZNPYlUxfMk49NJ_gWVoIVTyhdCG0jFpqIj1wFCCphmTmkv0b55wky_5TAFvdtMGuTQ/s2582/20240219_190917.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2582" data-original-width="2469" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVs8NFcQpg77wFSj2_idG_8qAz-Y4On4nJL6qS1ApPz80scr7BWWeGllI6DsOgGBBWFX9luWuYLo2F-xO1u9_GF4LdEv5owyB5gPGyf-ievrXJ5wnwtEpcvDJqZZNPYlUxfMk49NJ_gWVoIVTyhdCG0jFpqIj1wFCCphmTmkv0b55wky_5TAFvdtMGuTQ/w383-h400/20240219_190917.jpg" width="383" /></a></div><p><span style="color: #f6b26b; font-size: medium;">Again these figures came from the same mixed batch of figures as the figures above.

The jungle camouflage on these figures made me think of my old Internet freind and I had to create a world in my "Wild Galaxy" setting in his honour. Baddawg's landing was the name of his Yahoo group dealing with his wargames scenarios and batreps, it seemed fitting to use it.

Introducing Maddans world.</i></span></p><p><span style="color: #f6b26b; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Maddans world exists on the frontier of GELF space and has only been recently colonised.</span></p><p><span style="color: #f6b26b; font-family: arial; font-size: large;">A few standard Earth years ago an exploration probe from an vanished independent exploration company began transmitting information about the scanned world. The probe belonged to the Maddan Expedition which gave the world its name. As the Maddan Expedition vanished over 100 standard Earth years previously the world lies unclaimed. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3xq6CqJKSuczj4UaAysjbJuo8AsYuECXN0-breEb4gJqnScNFtq-MLMvvlSkhOl8zwACwpDfoZ49k4gLbYr27UlG48dq9HXg8WlQNq7ECbxbkF_8krkPtcaAZSboatDVNCgZPd00e8mDOFPz5KKR6X_F_4eED4saxjW1x7YL2qF5iQJBat0bF9czm6BE/s2992/20230813_153345.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2992" data-original-width="2992" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3xq6CqJKSuczj4UaAysjbJuo8AsYuECXN0-breEb4gJqnScNFtq-MLMvvlSkhOl8zwACwpDfoZ49k4gLbYr27UlG48dq9HXg8WlQNq7ECbxbkF_8krkPtcaAZSboatDVNCgZPd00e8mDOFPz5KKR6X_F_4eED4saxjW1x7YL2qF5iQJBat0bF9czm6BE/w400-h400/20230813_153345.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><span style="color: #f6b26b; font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><p style="text-align: center;"><i>Tengun forces try to force independent miners out of a typical colony.</i></p>The data transmitted from the probe included information indicating that the world was rich in rare minerals, mainly Ultesium crystals which are used across human space in high energy batteries and the manufacture of high density pico electronics. Upon arrival on the world of the first colonists soon discovered that traces of the very rare Helostone gemstone were present sacttered across the surface (Helostones are very rare and created in the early stages of the birth of a certain type of star). These stones fetch a fortune on the market, with even small fragments allowing the seller to be able to retire in luxury. </span><p></p><p><span style="color: #f6b26b; font-family: arial; font-size: large;">This information caused the galactic nations and corporations to scramble to get colonies to mine this exceptional world before a legal owner was found or came forward. Soon prospectors from all over human space arrived hoping to get rich quick. Meanwhile the space nations spent huge amounts of energy to try to find the descendants of the Maddan expedition in the hope they could convince them to sign it over to a particular nation or corporation. So far there has been no luck and Maddans world is pretty anarchic as a result.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEireEC_pyBHnhSZoJfBGts2rnmI_ppPD9WlVgI_ttqrrDwp6kD8YG9HcRqL-poppPAoVEGm-QLiuSSmhFJu8IQW0IBLg5BCnRzwU8s3qWs7XI1fUrdDZrINMGYSfuDv7sMCitql_-1fqPb-0cOia4dYElrkeD6nJfB1Rp7ND9O5M1A7Td-WQauaSg-zwbA/s2992/20230813_145417.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2992" data-original-width="2992" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEireEC_pyBHnhSZoJfBGts2rnmI_ppPD9WlVgI_ttqrrDwp6kD8YG9HcRqL-poppPAoVEGm-QLiuSSmhFJu8IQW0IBLg5BCnRzwU8s3qWs7XI1fUrdDZrINMGYSfuDv7sMCitql_-1fqPb-0cOia4dYElrkeD6nJfB1Rp7ND9O5M1A7Td-WQauaSg-zwbA/w400-h400/20230813_145417.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><i style="color: #f6b26b; font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Miner's firepower keep the Tengun forces back.</i></div><p></p><p><span style="color: #f6b26b; font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Maddans world is a largely arid world with the polar regions becoming semi arid towards the small polar caps. There are a few small salt water seas and fresh water lakes allowing some plant life to cling on in the harsh conditions. The wildlife is dangerous and numerous. The main wildlife hazards are the Greater and lesser sand worms, a couple of species of Ambull and the Sandtreader (a large reptile that can be tamed as a beast of burden). </span></p><p><span style="color: #f6b26b; font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Near the ice caps there are swathes of strange alien forests which provide the world's oxygen. In these forests there are the strange Maddan pod trees. These trees sprout large fruit that can explode lauching spores causing anyone nearby to enter a hallucingenic psychotic rage. The Maddan pod trees are valued by narcotics dealers and make the illegal drug Pong from it. There is a secondary trade from Maddans world in Pong and the Galactic powers raid and destroy any Pong production facilities on world. </span></p><p><span style="color: #f6b26b; font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Due to the scramble to grab land, the world is largely Anarchic with no official government. Around 350 self governing and independent colonies currently exist on world exploiting the natural resources. The Ultesium crystals are not as abundant as first indicated but there is still a decent wealth to be mined. The few Helostones discovered so far appear to be scattered over the surface of the world and they strangely appear to be cut and polished. This has lead to many wild stories of where they came from including some theory’s that they were planted as bait, or that they are cursed.</span></p><p><span style="color: #f6b26b; font-family: arial; font-size: large;">There is some speculation that the missing Maddan expedition lies wrecked someplace on the world and the Helostones presence are the cause of why the expedition was lost. There is a theory that the probe was launched from the wreckage by a fault. Unfortunately the probe was destroyed when a Tengun battle cruiser, upon arrival in orbit did the space travel equivalent of a hand brake turn smashing the probe to tiny pieces. </span></p><p><span style="color: #f6b26b; font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Currently the galactic powers watch each other waiting for someone to blink. They cant claim the world and can’t drive the independent colonies out, then claiming them without attracting the attention of the other power’s colonies. Going head to head could spark another costly galactic war. This has lead to the use of Mercenaries by the Galactic powers to drive out colonists and seize mined Ultesium ore while maintaining deniablity. </span></p><p><span style="color: #f6b26b; font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Tensions are mounting between the colonies. The remoteness of the colonies from each other means that that they are largely independent. Several colonies have been lost leading to the galactic powers and independent colonies are pointing fingers at each other. Some detailed investigations have shown Sandworms, Ambull or other Maddans world wildlife have caused some of the lost colonies. There is some evidence that some of the destroyed colonies point to Bandit or GELF raids (most likely ORCS or Fae GELFs). Some colonies are now reporting trouble with Verman subterranean raiders. It is not known how or when the Vermen arrived or if they have always been on the world.</span></p><p><span style="color: #f6b26b; font-family: arial; font-size: large;">The colonies are village or small town sized, usually placed close to a mine. They are usually built from mud buildings or what materials the colonists brought with them with a ramshackle wall around the town. Recycled old star ship hulls also common sites in some colonies. Some richer colonies belonging to the Galactic Powers have pre fabs or imported stone and other materials. </span></p><p><span style="color: #f6b26b; font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Unlike other worlds not all colonies have space ports, this is largely due to the land being too soft to land ships on large parts of the planet. This means that the crystals and supplies have to be hauled across the desert world to the nearest space port, which access to usually comes at a premium cost. The richer colonies use grav trains to haul their ore and supplies. Many of Independents make use of land trains or vehicle convoys with the poorer colonies making use of Sandtreader lizard trains. This has lead to convoys being lost to bandits (possibly covert raids by opponents) and Greater Sand Worm attacks.</span></p><p><span style="color: #f6b26b; font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><i>I need to draw up a map when I have trashed out the various colony details. It might be fun to add some GELF colonies too, although Orks would operate more like off world raiders. Vermen are subterranean raiders living in or under colonies.</i> </span></p><p><span style="color: #f6b26b; font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Thanks for reading</span></p><p><span style="color: #f6b26b; font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Take care out there</span></p><p><span style="color: #f6b26b; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #f6b26b; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #f6b26b; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #f6b26b; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #f6b26b; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #f6b26b; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #f6b26b; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #f6b26b; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #f6b26b; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #f6b26b; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #f6b26b; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #f6b26b; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #f6b26b; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #f6b26b; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #f6b26b; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #f6b26b; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #f6b26b; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #f6b26b; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #f6b26b; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #f6b26b; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #f6b26b; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #f6b26b; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #f6b26b; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #f6b26b; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #f6b26b; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #f6b26b; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #f6b26b; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #f6b26b; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #f6b26b; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #f6b26b; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><br /></p>mattblackgodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09611987054053476126noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113388046887237792.post-4794266379359968582023-09-24T13:54:00.007+01:002023-09-24T13:54:56.162+01:00Maddans World Independent Mining Crew<p> <span style="color: #f6b26b; font-family: arial;">Hello and Welcome Back,</span></p><span style="color: #f6b26b; font-family: arial;"><br /><span>Time for a visit to Maddans world in my Wild Galaxy setting (world background fluff to follow). </span>

Typical Starport scum. </p></span><p></p><p><span style="color: #f1c232; font-size: large;">The Bloody 40 began as a mutineer crew. In anger at the abuse of the crew by the captain and first mate the crew rose up. They beat the ship’s officers, stripped them and launched them in a life pod towards the nearest populated world. They then took the ship and upgraded it, remaining it the Bloody Vengeance. </span></p><p><span style="color: #f1c232; font-size: large;">The rest of the Bloody 40 hang around space port bars collecting information and rumours on ships with abusive officers and captains. They then join the crew of the ship. It is fairly easy to join such a vessel as they tend to have a high turnover of crew. Some of the vessels arrive with less crew than they set out with. These hardened pirates wait until enough of the 40 have joined the ship. Then they lead a mutiny aboard the ship with the Bloody Vengeance lurking nearby to assist if necessary. </span></p><p><span style="color: #f1c232; font-size: large;">The captured vessel is then stripped of cargo. The remaining loyal crew, officers and captain serve a similar fate to those of the first vessel the Bloody 40 rose up against. The remaining crew are given the vessel or asked to join the Bloody 40. </span></p><p><span style="color: #f1c232; font-size: large;">The Bloody 40 are regarded as heroes by the abused ship’s crews around frontier space. Captains hate them and whisper their name in fear. Since the Bloody 40 attacks, crew treatment and conditions has improved vastly across the sector. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg58FfzqyUFxr8hYkZ0j1EwtzZjWETITGO4T29IqPV1EIUe5Ase5zHUar_K2ttKqh7esC7WzI3TDyx8nFIXYZSHXK6x7ZaD1b1fZaY_0TD8oHkPyr6Q_texo6iuJAgvcc4QE1AlWn9ezRyDon1sPlboLdtlb25rYC2j0l3HyzvhB-Gwjq8d40cERY4-9go/s2107/20230729_142415.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

<br /><br /><span>In my pile of shame is a few sprues of original plastic Junkers. When I get to it I will add them to this force. Part of me is tempted to ditch the shotguns for assault rifles on a few, just to give the force more ranged and suppression options. Maybe a sniper would be a useful addition. So far due to weapon range limits (note not the Void rules but Skank or 40k RT) means the force has to hug terrain to get close. A couple of rapid fire weapons and a large empty table space will keep them at bay.</span><br />

It is becoming a favourite colour to work with. The inspiration for the character came from the Late Sir Terry Pratchett as the figure's face kind of reminded me of my favourite author.

Life has been pretty busy and chaotic. Work has been manic and has been made recently worse by half the team leaving. A similar thing happened in my previous role, maybe it's me? Needless to say I have been putting extra hours in trying to keep on top of the workload. </span>
<br /><br /><span>For some months now my Wife's medical deliveries and prescriptions have been chaotic and unpredictable with lots of essential items missing. This lead to the redeliveries tuning up just in time and often late at night or me chasing around pharmacies for vital medicines. I don't like talking about politics on here but the UK's National Health Service is on it's knees and the shambles that is brexit have made getting vitial supplies worse. </span>
<br /><br /><span>Just to add to the spice of life various computers and other bits of technology have been playing up lately leading to much head scratching and trying to remember passwords. Sadly my desktop computer appears to be going through the early stages of hard drive death, causing panic backups. </span></span></span><div><span style="color: #f6b26b;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /><span>Despite all this I have been getting a bit of hobby time in to combat all the stress encountered in day to day life. I have completed some Ramshackle games Boglanders (which Curtis kindly sent me in my last order pre Kickstarter), the Void 2 set has been painted (Junkers and Viridians) to be added to my various Wild Galaxy factions, the Fogou Stackle Shacks have been painted up (in my usual style I have added extra bits to them), A space pirate crew called the Bloody 40 (A mix of Copplestone Rouge stars and Antuovidan figures) and various Sci fi figures. Hopefully I can get some pictures and background text sorted soon, so some much needed blog posts can follow. </span>
<br /><br /><span>I have had a hankering to put a world into my Wild Galaxy setting which will allow all the factions to get into bother with each other but not end up in all out war. The plan is to have a unclaimed anarchic frontier world that is rich in rare minerals attracting colonies and get rich quick prospectors from across the Galaxy. </span>
<br /><br /><span>The fluff is still in draft and needs rewriting. But it has caused new ideas for the setting to pop into my head.</span>
<br /><br /><span>The odd trip out has also inspired some other ideas which I hope to post up in future.</span>
<br /><br /><span>Thanks for reading. With a bit of luck some posts will pop up here soon. Keep watching. </span>

As a faction they will operate in two ways with a pirate crew with a vessel (the Bloody Vengeance) and a second group that operate as a high jackers operating within the ships they target. This lot is assembled will be the crew of the Bloody Vengeance. They might even be handy as a crew for Stargrave too. </font></span></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 22.1px; line-height: normal; min-height: 27.9px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><img id="id_e295_2971_a3c1_c5ca" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/8XPkc0LSv4Io8PjlPnsP8f1J4eMQgD9ucADHrA_M0mgCqLBR8t4Jg3uxxhJHJm181fs" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 746px; height: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block;"><font color="#f9a825"><br></font></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 22.1px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 22.05px;"><font color="#f9a825">These figures are a mix of Northstar Rogue Stars and Antediluvian miniatures figures.

It wasn’t doing it for me so I moved the magazine and added a barrel to make a autocannon. The main weapon was reworked into some form of energy cannon using a cap off a tube of ointment. Cables or hoses made from greenstuff have been added. It’s basecoated ready for washes and detail.</font></span></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 22.1px; line-height: normal; min-height: 27.9px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><img id="id_26_eed8_c33e_7544" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/lKFo_0gOfALaEFtNhzNnDjB86zMmPPjjufIPX4jPe-dMfv6UyfuQUyADKGc_SPxwSHE" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 746px; height: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block;"><br><br><img id="id_b281_3719_7a1b_3b81" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/xbSa1g4iRG3IQzh-Hykk556fe7jcNFbnygGY7thlXGhw-cs7zBQFxliXqgRBmCUjPeI" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 746px; height: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block;"><br><br><img id="id_800d_e12a_a3c5_6be6" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/Ca4AFd_Of2ZCWSXP7qiCqnzUCM5jQ8A7rnMh1SdNnE0P1a_XBERg2lfVsx_p_bNPP38" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 746px; height: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block;"><font color="#f9a825"><br></font></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 22.1px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 22.05px;"><font color="#f9a825">The plan for this is to be some sort of dormant war machine in the ruins or to be a Behemoth class Immucyte for the Zone Raiders setting. </font></span></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 22.1px; line-height: normal; min-height: 27.9px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><font color="#f9a825"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 22.05px;"></span><br></font></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 22.1px; line-height: normal; min-height: 27.9px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><img id="id_9b26_e770_7407_efc8" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/th6ch94vF1kgtwn2xPqEZyzd85-kHCSBPCUGobdNBQsM_ljmuMdM-C4RESFOvhIraA0" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 746px; height: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block;"><span style="color: rgb(249, 168, 37); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 22.05px;">I started this Gilgamesh figure by Ramshackle Games last year so I have been finishing him off.

What townships or city’s that exist in the Megastrata are hundreds of kilometres apart. The city zones are the only true safe spaces from the dangers of Matrioshka. Although the city zones have the other dangers usually associated with civilisation.
