Steampunk/Victorian Sci-fi project pt2

After a brief departure into the insanity that is 6mm ancients last week, the weekend saw my attention return to my VSF project.

Spent a happy Saturday churning out Meridian Miniatures which will form the bulk of my Prussian forces. I've finished 4 sections of 8 infantry and a leader. These will have support weapons added later to make them up to ten man sections. 





The Brits have received some reinforcements from the wonderful Victoria Miniatures in Australia which I assembled whilst watching the Grand Prix and rugby yesterday. 


I've also been ploughing through my various rulesets this weekend and have decided that first up I'm going for Valor, Steel and Flesh hence the intended 10 man units. The rules look relatively straight forward with enough freedom to come up with whacky steampunk devices of destruction. Nicely mixed up turn sequence too. Back up plan is GASLIGHT. I'll probably pinch some bits from that too in the traditional fashion!

  2. Superb work on the Median Prussians. Rather taken with Victoria Miniatures figs....damn more figs to buy.

  3. Ive been gaming with the FUBAR Vic Sci-fi rules and have found them to be perfectly adequate for the task. I found Gaslight a bit quirky when trying to blend small scale actions with large and flicking between charts but that probably says more about my IQ than the rules.

  5. Thanks Ogilvie VC. We've been using fubar for our 15mm sci-fi. I've seen the vsf variant. Another back up plan.
