Just a 'Gangs of Rome' pebble I had to hand when I needed a Suppression marker
I admit a nice shade of red or black might have been better

Interesting looking and well painticateified

Loving the sci-fi, looks excellent Paul. How did the try-out go? You've got some nice scenery bits there.

Bead? Damn, I thought someone had dropped a blue Smartie on the table.

I was salivating and everything......

Everyone knows that the blue beads on that planet have a slightly green tinge.

Played a couple of games in quick succession.

I made a couple of tweaks on the rules.
The first was to abandon Nerve tests during the turn and do them all in the end phase, as suppression deals with morale during the turn.
The second was to give man portable heavy weapons two attack dice.

Otherwise the rules worked surprisingly well. Although I'm letting basement Mark loose on them today so he will doubtless break them

A Gangs of Rome gang!

And a good looking bunch they are. I particularly like how you've done the flesh.

To be honest they don't look great so close up, and I can't find the 'macro' setting on my new camera
Doing a group of individuals means you can experiment with different techniques on each one

Fantastic! I’m sure I’ve seen the bloke at the top left at Ayton.
