ACP Games Spartan MK3H

Looking for a kick butt 15mm hover tank, look no further than ACP Games new Spartan MK3H tanks.  Jimbo sent me one of these a while back and I have to say I really like the model.  Mine came in 2 variants.  Hover and tracked.  At first I was like the tracked is so cool and then changed my mind to the hover variant.  Now I am having trouble deciding which is better.  Both are excellent and use the same main hull, turret and gun.

Here are some prototypes of upcoming ACP Games units.  Really like the look of the new Val-Lyn race.  Spoke with Jimbo last night and there is certainly lots going on behind the scene.  I will certainly let you guys know when I get the green light, but 15mm gamers are going to be really happy.

ACP Games, Va-Lyn

Here is a concept of the upcoming Va-Lyn race from ACP Games.  Love the look of this.  If the miniatures are any where near the concept, it should be pretty sweet.

ACP Games,

An interesting figure has appeared on the radar from ACP Games. Not sure what he will be called, but I like what I am seeing.  Hopefully we will see it in metal form soon.  Other news from ACP Games comes in the form of new resin tanks.  Jimbo has been pretty busy remastering some of the larger vehicle sculpts with new designs and integrated bases.  Early next year the Makat will be getting a large walker type to boost their ranks.

ACP Games, Millenniumcon

Just got back from Millenniumcon in Round Rock Texas. It isn't the largest convention, but it's a lot of fun. Had a great time talking with Jimbo from ACP Games. He had a sweet setup showcasing his miniatures, a great staff helping and a really nice demo table.

Got a chance to try out the Valkyrie (Beta 2) ruleset and I must say, it might be one of the best 15mm rules sets out there.  The only downside to the rules (Unless I am wrong) is that they are only written for the ACP Games miniature line. Meaning it doesn't have the ability to create your own units.  Still you can easily use proxies with the currently army lists and have a brilliant game.

What really stood out was how the assault rules worked, objectives, cover and the use of command points.  We weren't using all the rules since it was a demo, but for a convention, it was perfect.  The rule set gives the player tons of options on what to do.  The command points really spice up the game and make the game feel much more interactive.  The command points in the demo allowed you to call in artillery strikes, bring in reinforcements, rally troops and bump up your  initiative rolls.  In the demo the way to gain command points was by controlling any one of 3 objective markers.  Each objective was worth 5 command points.  Command points are used after each round.  I used them mostly to call in artillery strikes (3 command points) on targets I wanted to assault.

If a unit takes a casualty during an artillery strike, they are considered suppressed.  A suppressed unit is a much easier to assault.  In the game I did find that you don't want to tangle with Valkyries in CC.  Even when suppressed, they can sometimes (actually did) kick butt.

The game also allows for pre and post measurement, so you always know your enemies range bands.

Some of the new AA Valkyries and Tanks.

Makat Army including Eldars, Hunters, Jaguars, Bombard Missle, Scouts.  To the right there are a bunch of walkers.
