So, My copy arrived, and very pleased with it I am too! I particularly like the lack of bloated rules, the just a hint of a back story and all the mechanics that allow you to customise your game and bring your imagination to life. Thumbs up from me. I've a few ideas for crews/gangs/squads I'd like to bring to the table: - Star Patrol cops with large motorbikes and eagle shoulder pads dispensing instant justice in the crowded mega cities of the central core,
- A roster of 7 magnificent robots (but I'd have to take a squishy hume called Terry as rules say you can't field an all-robot force) fighting for the forces of Chaos against the evil tyranny of the Human Empire,
- Some future-war soldiers singing the blues on the hunt for a traitor general on a new earth
And that's just one comic back catalogue raided.....

You can never have too many rulebooks. And the beauty of Osprey ones are that they're cheap, and don't take up much room in your man-cave!

I always like rule #2: Your game, your rules....

Ordered!
Looks exciting- I'm really getting into games that encourage imagination to create your own backdrop.
I've got some savages from EM4 Miniatures who currently lack a purpose in life, along with some random 28mm inquisition figures from GW who I always thought would make a great gang.

Just ordered some more EM4 scavengers and a couple of power armoured types. I like to have choices...

Brother vinni- sci-fi- sandbox. Lovely models. Some of the others in his range are a little more... questionable...

In that case I shall investigate and start my own thread if it merits attention!

Yeah apparently that's it - a condesed pure rules book (like KoW I guess - there's a 'fluff' version available as well).

Troops arrived from Moonraker Miniatures- a real hodgepodge set of characterful characters perfect for my planned pirate group (who incidentally are the principle pilots from my Capellan BT Force - their story shall continue. Battletech forever!)
On that note, I'll need another group to represent the main characters from the Dead Skye Renegades too. Sweeeeet

I think this would be a good idea for a crew, if only for their names: "Reddy for anything. Meet Window section, Balcony Troop. (we're in speshul forces by the way). L-R Smudge Wilson, Jock O'Malley (Taff), Chinese Ian, Albino Ned, Harry Skinters, Dirk Steel. ower getup came in handy when we Halo dropped into the Arctic Jungles of the Tazmanian Rainforests. Stroke ov luck. Oh yes and Colin, the useless drunken flea ridden shitty map reading cake stealing stupid fuckin dog! (Am sorry for swearin just then). At any minnit, we can be pulled owt of training in me mums bak garden to go into action anywhere in the world az long az we water the carrots first."Dirk Steel - Speshul Forces can be found here for FB users
