Trenches, Anomalies and Root Veg?

 Its been a while since I last posted here, I have neglected this blog due to focussing on 40k and Necromunda and my posting on Bolter and Chainsword. But GW's nostalgic releases and my playing 1st/2nd ed 40k instead of the current edition can only hold my attention for so long until my attention strays, and stray it has. Due to this I have decided I should be more active here as other non GW games have caught my eye, and Bolter and Chainsword is primarily a 40k forum so my future projects have no place there. 

I have mostly been looking at skirmish games, mostly due to the fact I dont have the funds or space to start new armies (dosnt help that earlier this year I bought a load of Normans and Vikings for Lion Rampant that are still on sprue or part built), and I have narrowed it down to three games. So this year I shall be dipping my toe into The Last War, Zona Alfa and Turnip28.

Turnip28

I picked up minis to convert up some warbands just before Christmas, the usual  French Napoleonics and Agincourt Knights by Perry Miniatures, I have not done much with them so far, still need additional tufts and grime applying before I get round to painting them, conversions are simple, basically just copied the ideas in the rules to keep things simple as I start out.

Zona Alfa

I have had a quick skim through the rules and have started a few Gangs using the Wargames Atlantic 'Cannon Fodder' as a basis, with a few Soviet Russian bits from Bolt Action thrown in for one of the gangs to make them stand out from the Scientist and Military guys and girls.

The Last War

At the moment all I have access to is the quick start rules (Ill be ordering the full rules later on this month) so I have just built some WW1 French and Germans straight from the box to keep things simple whilst I learn the rules, when I get the full version Ill build some more that are not so 'generic' and more fitting for the setting. Minis used are also from Wargames Atlantic.  Until I get the rules Ill just build/convert/sculpt some Mud Ghouls, Ghost of no mans land and Trench Maggots. I guess I should make some craters, barbed wire and splintered tree trunks as well whilst I wait.

Ill get some images up soon when there is something worth showing.
