So after 3+ years of talking about it I am finally building my Bug War models. I'm using No Limits rules The Bug War models are from Ebbles Miniatures. He has two different bug sets. The soldier models you can get free from One MonkMy current plan is to make an army consisting of these models MarinesInfantry: * Floyd's Gun Crawl figures. * XM644 Achilles Battle suits Heavy Support: * Ares Vulcan * Kogura H8 Gorilla (not yet released) * Patrol Vehicles (not yet released) * Dassault Marchand Crotale IV * VG-11 Hummingbird VTOLTransport: * Ares Meteor ODV * M722 Light Expeditionary Vehicle * UD-41 Utility Dropship * VU-22 PercheronBUGS (from the two different bug sets. Links at top of post)Infantry: * Zygote * Goliath Scuttler * Original Scuttler * Slasher * Xenosaurs Heavy Support: * Reaper * Scytonid * Warrior Bug * SSBAW So I need to pick up these models yet Kogura H8 Gorilla (not yet released) Patrol Vehicles (not yet released) M722 Light Expeditionary Vehicle UD-41 Utility Dropship VU-22 Percheron Convoy Now thank goodness I have Jim's Warrior Bug model, but is there any other bug models I can use? Preferably 2.5D but right now I won't be too picky. I've looked at the Cannon Papercraft but they don't really fit the feel of Alien Bugs. I will use them if I can not find anything else.

That's quite the playing area. How many times did you have to replace the ink cartridges I'm not much for Sci-fi but it looks good.

I have an EPSON SX200 and I use generic High Yield ink. I believe I changed the Cyan and Yellow once each for that board. So one and a half cartridges, give or take.
My request for large bug models is still open. Mel has the marines side covered but I'd like more bugs. Any help or pointers would be cool.

Well, technically it is a demon, but it does have lots of legs and it is 2.5d. Folds flat,too. Bebilith by cowboyleland, on Flickr If you like it search for Cowboyleland at Flickr you can download a sheet of two. BTW I'm actually a McLeod and I love the pipes!

Great photo!! Is that photoshopped, or is the background on foamcore? Or did you really go to Mars?

Awesome job, Piper! I need to do that with MY pictures, so you don't see all of the board games on the shelves in the background! Seriously good-looking stuff!
