Wargames news, reviews and tutorials
Curtis at Ramshackle Games has been running another Kickstarter. This time we have a selection of robots and pieces that can be assembled in whatever way you fancy to create your desired robot(s).
I got a few pieces early to put together a review for the Kickstarter.
The amount of choice can leave you feeling a bit lost at first, but once you isolate the legs and torsos, the rest is down to weapons preference.
Hi all,
Neil of Orange here once more with another review. Its been Kickstarter related toy time here for a while so I’ve been working my way through the new stuff and taking photos to share the joy.
Today we’re looking at Ramshackle Games‘ recent Kickstarter, “Brothers of Iron”. I backed this project as a means to provide my growing 40k Inquisitor force with some transports. I have some Ramshackle stuff already, a truck, a train and a smattering of figures. From my prior experience I was expecting robust, big, rough around the edges models, hence the Ramshackle name I guess.
With a major overhaul (read: complete re-write) of the Mechanicus codex, it’s a little difficult to decide (or know) what my army will comprise come March.
Apart from Skitarii. Everyone has Skitarii!
Rather than re-work my older Skitarii, I fancied trying some new builds. I don’t want to alienate new from old, but I do want something different.
There’s less than 3 weeks until the Scouring campaign weekend and the joblist is starting to look intimidating. I’ve settled with building as much as I can now and worrying about painting the lot later!
I am happy that Kelbor Hal is at a tabletop standard for now. if by some miracle I have some free time after everything else, I’ll add further detail and highlights.
Ramshackle Games have continued to churn out quality, cheap miniatures for their Nuclear Resistance range, models I have found to be very useful and compatible with Warhammer 40,000 or similar scaled games.
From their latest offering, I ordered a selection of tech-like models and one of the new quad bikes:
Quad bike (male rider) – £2.50
Drug-crazed lunatics – £1.50 for both
Ironstrike – £1.50
Unknown!
I chanced upon the Ramshackle stand at the UK Games Expo last month and took their stock of ‘Boring Machines‘ off their hands for my Mechanicus army. At £8 and solid resin, they’re a bargain and a huge timesaver. I chose to use these as Termites for my Hypaspists to tunnel into war!
The basic model is a great start or even finish, for a termite. I decided to paint one out of the box and spend a little time converting my others.
