But I guess normal 40k is probably similar with the possibility to go overpowered with them. <br /><br />To keep the table less than wall to wall infantry and tanks we decided to stick to 1200pts rather than 3000, but you do need to keep an eye on versions as we discovered as it's a game that they are trying to keep balanced. I believe the paid version (through Patreon I think) gives extra missions and a calculator of some kind to allow for different forces.Genomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05368585712891865345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4875080716616255360.post-55117114713991233322021-01-03T07:08:23.299-08:002021-01-03T07:08:23.299-08:00Look good Andy, like the red scheme, look forward ...Look good Andy, like the red scheme, look forward to see them in the flesh.

(Think Redwall if you want some inspiration towards it) <br /><br />The Basing is teabags, one I picked up from a Northstar article. Let the bags dry out and then open them and dump them in a box to dry out some more. I paint the recessed part of the base Vallejo Earth, then PVA, add tea bags, let it all dry then I paint over a mixture I keep in an old pot of PVA, brown school acrylic, and water to help seal it all in. <br /><br />I'll occasionally add a second application to bring the layer up to the edge of the moulded base if it's needed. Some are deeper than others. But I do this with anything that's got a moulded base, just to smooth out the edge of the actual base to the top of the moulded base. <br />Genomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05368585712891865345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4875080716616255360.post-62332109734149598002020-08-04T15:04:28.950-07:002020-08-04T15:04:28.950-07:00Not sure I'm into the idea of the game or mili...Not sure I'm into the idea of the game or milieu for B&B but the mini's are generally very nice, huge amounts of character and these are no exception.
