Blog discription

What will you find here? Ramblings from an aging gamer-miniature painter. When I first started out in this hobby computers were in their infancy and finding other gamers could only be done by going to conventions or as in my case bumping into somebody who happened to see me reading "Panzer Leader" on the school bus. Look how far we have come! The internet has allowed our small community to be able to connect on a level I never dreamed of when I was but a small lad. What I do hope you will find here is something interesting from one wargamer/miniature painter to another. I paint miniatures somewhat decently, so I will be posting some pictures of my work, and perhaps a review or two of games and/or miniatures. Most of all this is just about having fun and anything I post here is meant to be for that reason.

MA.K Maschinen Krieger (SF3D) AFS Mk2’s for the Mercenaries

 Howdy there Cowboys and Cowgirls! Ma. K super fan here, aka "Zhodani Commando ". Bringing you some Super Armored Fighting Suit goodness!

I've completed painting up a company of AFS Mk2's for my upcoming game this Saturday using the rules "Gruntz". I've pretty much settled on these rules as my ruleset of choice after some long hard thought. It crosses the T's and dots the I's of all my needs. One of the things I am creating beside stats, is an OOB. Tank platoons are on average 5 vehicles. So I am going with the Gruntz rules of 6 figures for a unit and call that my platoon. So I have 18 figures done (or three platoons to a company). 

I've color coded the backs of the stands as my over 60 decals placed on these bad boyz will not be easily seen by us old men. So the platoons are color coded, and the Sergeant has an added S to the color code for command purposes. 

The following pictures are of 15mm metal scifi from Slave2Game miniatures. The Ma. K universe started way, way back in the late 70's I believe and were 1:20 scale plastic kits. It had a hardcore small fan base, and still does. Slave2game finally brought these wonderful designs to the game table.







As always thanks for looking.

Cheers
Kevin

    I must agree with the above posts, those visors really set the whole front of the figure off. And 15mm! (You paint 15's?) The decal work is amazing as well. So much detail on 15mm figures! Excellent paint!!!

      Yep, 15's. I don't know what I was thinking. The only reason is because it's a passion subject and they only came out as 15's. But I'm not sure if it would work in 28's. The tanks would be huge!

      Cheers
