No Limits, Rules

There is a free generic rule set out there called No Limits that looks really interesting.  The ruleset has been around for quite some time, but I have never given it a go.

No Limits uses an alternate unit activation system with play alternating until all units have been activated. When a model is activated, there are a number of actions available to each model which will determine what it may do.  Weapons and abilities cost certain actions and dictate what a model may or may not do.

No Limits comes with both a vehicle and model calculator, which allows you to create whatever model you deem appropriate.

If you are a fan of Warzone or Vor, you may really like how this ruleset plays.

Antenociti's Workshop, Jet Bike

I guess I am on a Jet Bike kick today.  Here is a render of Antenociti's Workshop's version of a Jet Bike.  The pods can go in one of two locations (highlighted green) and fit both the single seat and 2-seat bike. 

The fore and aft fitting areas should allow you to mount larger weapons, or just vary the layout - we will add a side-car variant at some point down the line also.

Both types of bike, plus the weapons-pod mounts will be available seperately to those with GOT Troops, and with commercial licences.



Zealot Miniatures, JetBike

Here is a first look at the Zealot Miniatures 28mm Jetbike.  The bike will also included handlebars, flagpole, rider arms, legs, and other extras.

Dust Tactics, At-43

Last night I demoed a game of Dust Tactics.  I added a twist to the game and instead of using the Americans that come with the box set, I used AT-43 Red Blok.  The figures are a perfect match for other Dust Tactic figures and I believe the same sculptor might have been involved.

The Russian Troopers aka Red Blok had the following stats
All were level 2 and weapons were basically the equivalent to the Americans
Degtyarev DP - Heavy Machine Gun - Range 4
TT-30 - Pistol - Range 2

PPS-42 - Sub Machine Gun - Range 3
Missile Launcher - Range 3

The Russian Walkers had the following stats
Level 4
Missile Launcher - 2/+ against infantry and 6/1 against vehicles with reload.
This is the same stats at the upcoming German Lothar
Cannon - Same stats as the German Ludwig.

Olleys Armies, 15mm Orcs

Bob Olley of Olleys Armies is working on some 15mm Orc sculpts.  These figures should work perfectly with many of the 15mm Splintered Light Miniatures.



Dust Tactics, Special Ops

Fantasy Flight Games have posted a preview of their upcoming Special Ops figures for Dust Tactics.  Two box sets will be released including the German Special Ops Grenadiers and the American Special Ops Rangers.  Each box set will contain 4 figures including a sniper team and an observer team.

Copplestone Castings, Neo Sov

If your looking for a good excuse to pick up some figures from Mark Copplestone, now might be a good time.  Mark is offering a 28mm Neo Sov (Neo Soviet) deal this month that is really tempting.  A total of 41 figures for 62 pounds.  It is a great deal considering these are large 28mm figures and you're roughly paying only 1.5 pounds per figure.
