Kindred, WW1 Weird War - replacing a lost force for Xenos Rampant.

 Realising I did not have enough Kindred, I bought more!


I was getting 15 to make three squads of 10 in Xenos Rampant, but somehow, I don't know how, I ended up with 19 more. B)  O:-)  8->
Means I now have 34, plus HMG team, Fray Bentos the Tank and WWI Flying Ace Snoopy on top cover.


Which should allow for some force variation


Still tempted by the German/Goblins too


Almost the right scale for Quar too.


Question is, do I go for 28mm trench sections to fight over, or 20mm for these (and remember, I have no 20mm figures elsewhere in my collections, so 28mm might be more useful).


Many years ago, I owned the original Kindred prototypes, but at somepoint I lost/traded/forgot. The only thing I could find was their tank, well, that's getting used! Recently, you may have seen my Sci-Fi crew, and looking through the catalogue of CP Models I found they were holding the Kindred. An order later and my Kindred are back! Love them.  


Sixteen figures, two anti-tank rocketeers with panzerschrecks, three Lewis gunners, an officer and ten soldiers, enough for three undersized squads, will upgrade squad size soon.


Top view, 15mm bases, figures are close on 20mm. Yes, I kept the bases muddy and added wire, to go for the WW1 aesthetic.


Bare footed, but with putties...


Packs packed and ready, most likey for Xenos Ramapant soon. Even the officer has a Lee Enfield.


Might see how they do vs the club soon. Light or elite infantry?


Something they did not have before was a HMG, that's now sorted.


How many rounds a minute! Support weapons are cool.

There was even something caught on the wire, adds nicely to the effect.

    The amount of mud is exactly right. The wire was a great idea, it definitely completes the signature look you were going for here 👏👏

Black Powder 1870 Stats and Modifications

1870 Franco-Prussian Conflict in Black Powder Hi all, If you are reading this, it's because. like us, you are Black Powder fans and want to know how we manage the Franco-Prussian War. Anything below is by no way official, just the house rules we have developed over the last few years of playing. A few thoughts first: Fighting in the period is best described as hard fought assaults by Prussians, supported by superior artillery against superior but very strong defensive French lines. All ranges and movements are in cm scale, just to be awkward! All my forces are modelled on 3” square bases, apart from divisional commanders, skirmishers and artillery which have a frontage of 1½” and Corp commanders who are on a 2” base. Feel free to ignore that. My units are regiments of infantry,   brigades of cavalry and skirmish squadrons of cav. Artillery is either battalion as one gun, or a battery of two guns on a base, horse artillery have limbers attached. Army composition...

Xenos Rampant: Kindred vs Tau, Mission Juliet

"Right chips! Mission is jolly simple, get in, snatch the objectives, get out." "Sir?" "Yes Sergent?" ""What objectives?" 'Well, lads, the Colonel has quite taken by the local antique furniture, he wants a set for his holiday home!" "Ohhh. Siiiiiiiiiiir!" I brought my Kindred, but forgot Snoopy , who would have been really useful for this scenario. Mort suggested we played 27 points. I brought that, I hope he did too. My infantry was upgraded to Heavy Infantry, two with anti-tank, one without, all with heavy weapons, Fray Bentos the Tank was back, as well as the Vickers HMG team. Mort brought his Tau, two large units of heavy infantry with heavy weapons. a unit of drones - lesser Xenos upgraded for shooting, and a walker/tank. One of the objectives Nice table A chair sitting proud in ruins. Two more bits sat on hills waiting for new owners.   The Vickers heavy weapons team heads into the squeltch to give fire support,...
