I remember building a jeep and a beep ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_WC_series ) in 1:35 scale when I was a kid.

Scale modelers probably are a bit of a sucker for detailing whereas wargamers probably want something to push across the table as fast as possible. Nothing wrong with either approach.

@evilstu : and failing that I’ve got a mountain of metal to trade when the apocalypse hits 😉

Might even make for good ammo for a slingshot …

I try not to worry, but at the same time I’m thinking of the loads of metal&plastic that still has to arrive as a result of kickstarters like Blood&Plunder (yay Dutch troops!) and the remains of the 1:48 tactic troops + scenery.

I think I’ve got the scenery for at least two different wargaming themes covered too.

Imperial guard killteams really need to work to get to the 100pts standard.
I was thinking about a ‘dirty dozen’ kind of force, so 12 + 1  leader. Basic troops is just about 65 points if my calculations are correct. That would be fine if they had lots of toys, but they don’t appear to have any.

Worst part is their lack of armour piercing capability. I don’t want to run into chaos marines with that lot.

Maybe consider using Orkses instead ? Food for thought … and possibly yet another faction on my list for Killteam.

At the other end of the spectrum there’s the A-team … but that definitely needs to use Space marines or another elitist faction.

Even without building anything this game is a great idea generator.
I almost can’t wait for the Rogue Trader box …

Too many ideas, not enough time.

@mage : don’t worry too much about keeping an eye on this thread. We’ll keep the ball rolling while you get some much needed rest.

Good ol’ “thin coats” Duncan has a kill team too :
