I always felt that the ratskins would have benefitted from a few more scifi elements in the mix - nothing more than the odd pair of goggles or rebreather. The dogskins seemed to have just enough scifi detailing to keep the vibe. And wearing dogskins is far more horrific than wearing giant mutant ratskins!!axiomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11598298167403563382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560709119022789110.post-26778029181243019342024-01-30T03:07:40.109+00:002024-01-30T03:07:40.109+00:00I'm digging the warpaint.

You're right, there is a solo gaming option (the Hope Eternal book). I haven't given it a go, but the logic engine is the same as the one that drives random encounters in the full game, so hopefully it's nice and intuitive.axiomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11598298167403563382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560709119022789110.post-35464191100325278302023-12-11T23:17:42.835+00:002023-12-11T23:17:42.835+00:00Wow, they have tons of personality.

Pulp All...You know, I need to give Stargrave a try. Pulp Alley is quick and cheerful. It's got some interesting features and it's pretty flexible about how you structure your gang. I love the way initiative works. The player with initiative simply decides who goes next. And you get it for game reasons, like clearly wining a fight or achieving a game goal, and keep it until your opponent does the same. And attacking an enemy is virtually never without risk. They always get to respond one way or another, usually by shooting back. It plays like a good action movie or television show. As to Stargrave . . . did I hear it has a way to play it solo? That's intriguing all by itself. :)The Composerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14009448596738385017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560709119022789110.post-10595909750021455892023-12-11T07:40:40.636+00:002023-12-11T07:40:40.636+00:00I haven't tried Pulp Alley - I must give it a ...I haven't tried Pulp Alley - I must give it a go! I tend to build most stuff with Stargrave in mind these days, so I'm looking at a 10-strong dogskin gang 🙂<br /><br />I totally agree about the scale of the Confrontation figures - they're perfect alongside other late 1980s/early 1990s figures.axiomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11598298167403563382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560709119022789110.post-89576350394339227122023-12-11T07:37:36.776+00:002023-12-11T07:37:36.776+00:00Thanks Kym!Thanks Kym!axiomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11598298167403563382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560709119022789110.post-47254317843226137122023-12-10T18:55:36.683+00:002023-12-10T18:55:36.683+00:00Great little gang!

(But I sing the praises of Pulp Alley, where a four member gang would be small, but entirely achievable, and even potentially reasonably balanced with other, larger gangs.) Anyway, rules questions aside, I love what you've done here. I really need to find more of those old Confrontation miniatures. They're truly glorious. A lot of genuine Necroumnda miniatures already have the beginning of the "scale creep" that plagues Citadel to this day. The little bit of Confrontation stuff I have seems to fit a little better with my somewhat older collection. I am thoroughly jealous! :DThe Composerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14009448596738385017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560709119022789110.post-7526847790759597292023-12-10T11:53:51.251+00:002023-12-10T11:53:51.251+00:00They look great - nice work!They look great - nice work!(Kym) + Warburton + (Classic40K) https://www.blogger.com/profile/17333928965917754588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560709119022789110.post-5288342316625363402023-12-08T16:48:14.544+00:002023-12-08T16:48:14.544+00:00Thanks for the suggestions!

It's said that The Gwyllgi may even be the head hound of the Cwn Annwfn, the hell hounds that chase and catch ahead of the Wild Hunt.<br /><br />Loving the resurrection of these classic miniatures! Although I never understood why 'dogskins', when it seems too Fenrisian (more the purview of feral/medieval worlds).Gretchinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04749813427652886687noreply@blogger.com
