A Tyranid swarm is invading a Terran frontier town and the Terra Force has been mobilized to stop them! We used MDRG rules for the game and added in the auto-fire rules from Fear & Faith. The marines were able to chew up the center of the swarm with concentrated firepower but the bugs kept curling around the edges and ambushing the humans in the side alleys. The game was called on account of fishing but I have a feeling it would have been a close and hard fought victory for the Tyranids. Sorry about the poor lighting, these shots were taken at the games stopping point. Human view; Tyranid view; Alley battles; The deadly center;

Nice setup! I get really jealous seeing all of that built terrain, makes me want to print off some stuff and get it built. JIM Terrian is easy, and dagobahdave's buildings are really nice lookin'. I have a big folder of medieval/fantasy buildings printed out now and I've been trying to build one structure (or small set of structures like cemetary walls) per day. Each day I just open the folder and pull 'whatever' out and build it. The village grows nicely that way. I've planned out a series of skirmish battles for SBH and printed most everything I need for the different battles and I just keep plugging away at the pieces each day without stressing about them. I do need to finish my ground tile setup as I'm tired of the bare tabletop for the fantasy games.

I think I need to do that, just print a bunch of stuff and try to build one thing a day. I just keep looking at all the stuff I have to build and just eat more pizza trying to figure out what to work on first.
Nice cool dot in the middle of the picture. I SO want to see what that is now... JIM

Lord Abaddon of Wormwood No I'm not, but as luck would have it I've just been released from my NDA; www.ebblesminiatures.com/shop/doomball.phpI can stop putting black dots in the pictures where this is being used in a game. ;D

HA I KNEW IT. It looked like one of mel's mechs but it was hidden and I have never seen that type before. Kudos to the mech pilot its hard to hide a mech as well as that. It's also good to see the evil monkey back where he belongs.....in the closet!

I must design a Hybrid vehicle crusher!
Cool design, I can see a lot of modding of that design. JIM

LOL. Well I guess the black circle was a reasonable fill-in for the BALL OF DOOM! That name is just AWESOME. Could easily modify it to be a CUBE of doom and it would fit right into some other mini games.
