A Get Your Frickin' Tentacle Out Of My Face battle report: the tyrannosaur-like Garn take on the rather fishy Pelagic Dominate.
The Myzontid Rangers have joined the ranks of the Pelagic Dominate troops.
Now that the higher-level command figures and vehicles have been released for the Garn, I can add them to the Gallery:
Garn infantry from Khurasan
Garn Alligator class SuperHeavy transport from Khurasan
The next pictures from Khurasan's Pelagic Dominate range.
Orca Heavy Infantry from Khurasan
A new GYFTOOMF army list: Critical Mass Games' excellent ARC Fleet human army contains a good mix of infantry types supported by both grav tanks and walkers.
I've updated some of the army lists for Get Your Frickin' Tentacle Out Of My Face (the sci-fi variant of IABSM) to take into account new releases from Khurasan Miniatures. These include two ridiculously superheavy vehicles for the Garn (the tank variant is shown below) and the Myzontid Ranger infantry for the Pelagic Dominate (the standard infantry grouping also shown below).

A sci-fi AAR: the Protolene Khanate invade Earth and find themselves up against the US Army!
I haven't had a chance to do much gaming in the last month or so: holidays, work, real life etc! I have, however, been able to do a little painting: here are the first pictures of the Protolene Khanate, Critical Mass Games' excellent range of dog-headed sci-fi infantry and walkers.
To give you some idea of how large the medium walkers are, the infantry below are mounted on 20p plastic tokens, the medium walkers on large FOW bases...
Can't wait to try them out on the table!

I've updated all the army lists for Get Your Frickin' Tentacle Out Of My Face (the sci-fi variant of IABSM) to take into account new releases, extra information, and to make the initiative dice for each type of infantry more consistent.
Finally got around to uploading pictures of my elite Aphid scouts and (quite fantastic) battlesuits for Get Your Fricking Tentacle Out Of My Face.

I've added details for Zombiesmith's beautifully realised quasi-WW1 alien race: the Quar. Highly recommended figures for those who play either GYFTOOMF or even M&B.
The first (of hopefully many!) After Action Reports using Get Your Frickin' Tentacle Out Of My Face: the IABSM sci-fi variant from the TFL Christmas Special 2009. Here, a brave rapid reaction force is ordered to "Hold until Overrun" in the face of insectoid assault from The Hive. Epic stuff!
Read the AAR here.
I've added the photographs of the Aphids: frog-like aliens largely from Zombiesmith. Unfortunately I'm having a bit of a mare with my photos at the moment: I had the camera perfectly set up to take pictures using normal light bulbs, but now we've switched to energy efficient ones I can't get the colour balance right! So apologies, and I will replace them all in due course.
I've added details for Critical Mass Games' Marrok Walkers: medium walkers to support the Protolene Khanate infantry.
The image below doesn't really do justice to the size of this thing, but a 15mm infantryman comes in at under the walker's knee height!
I've added details for Khurasan's excellent new "space wasps", the Vespulid Swarm, to the Hive Army Lists. Got to get me some of these!
