Comrade Patrick shares a battle report of last weekend’s game of Grimdark Future Firefight! We had four players forming two teams with 600 pts per side – quite a Sunday afternoon brawl!
We’ve been dipping a toe into the wonderful, rules-lite world of One Page Rules lately, and I finally had an opportunity to take some photos and do a writeup. One Page Rules publishes Grimdark Future, a fantastic fast-playing game inspired by Warhammer 40,000 (but minus the codex creep and insufferable meta that has come to […]
Grimdark Future: The Infected City
Alien Hunter Inquisitor
When I learned my friend Paul was dusting off his Tyranids for this game, I chased my muse and made an Alien Hunter Inquisitor for the occasion.
From impulse to 3d printed to painted, this guy took three evenings. He’s a trencher officer with a vampire hunter head, both from Anvil Digital. I made the base using a trick I learned from Dark Matter Workshop. To get the gross fleshy color, I painted following advice from my favorite mini painter Marco Frisoni. That basing trick was so much fun I kept going.
Alien hatchling objective markers
I have been experimenting with printing stl miniatures at reduced scales (more on that in future posts). These One Page Rules alien hives grunts came out with various limbs missing while I dialed in my supports and printer settings. Looking for an excuse to make more disgusting alien biomass bases, I snatched them up and disguised their missing bits with milliput egg pods. I love the result.
Inquisitor’s retinue
This game marks the first time I have fielded an entirely 3d-printed force. Except for the inquisitor himself, my team came from The Maker’s Cult’s Feudal Guard range.
Check out Patrick’s report to see how they fared. One sure result: this veteran Imperial Guard player has acquired a taste for up-close melee combat. I decided this crew has too many ranged weapons, so I plan to replace the acolytes with these lovely Maker’s Cult dark techno assassins.
