A Tale of Two Predators

Posted by admin on Friday, June 25th, 2010

I painted up two Predator tanks.  The first one I built was a basic cannon with the bolter guns. The second, I decided to go all out with the twin linked Lascannons and the side Lascannons.  They turned out pretty good in my opinion.  I took my time on both of these instead of my [...]

New AT-43 Comic

Posted by admin on Thursday, May 13th, 2010

I haven’t made one in months.  I seem to have lost my Muse for drawing all together lately.  I hope I can find my spark again and get back to it.  Come to think of it, I think I owe Privateer Press some more comics as well.  I should get on that! www.at43comic.com

Sabol Army Transport

Posted by admin on Thursday, April 29th, 2010

I picked up a couple of Sabol basic troop bags.  I am VERY impressed with the quality of this product. The price for this bag was around 60 bucks and came loaded with foam.  This foam is a very ridged high quality pluck and pull foam.  You can hold a tray in one hand and [...]

5000 Point AT-43 Game

Posted by admin on Monday, February 15th, 2010

So I had planed a large scale 3 on 3 game of AT-43 using all 6 armies with 5000 point armies.  Only one player showed up besides myself, my older Brother, Ryan.  I had laid out 4 or the 6 armies on the table before I realized only one was showing up.  Here is what they looked like:

Ryan chose Red Blok and I fielded the UNA.  It was a fun game with a lot of exploding AFV’s and infantry casualties.  The UNA list I was running is:

3 Fire Toads with Captain Newton (4 Fire Toads)
14 Star Troopers, Lieutenant, 2 Missile Launchers, 2 Medics
12 Star Troopers, Lieutenant, 2 Flamers, 2 Medics
11 Steel Troopers, Lieutenant, 2 Missile Launchers, Trip Lense
7 Wing Troopers, Sergeant, 1 Sniper, 1 Medic
3 Death Dealer TacArms with Lt. Epstone
3 Steel TacArms
1 Fire Toad with Sgt. Borz (2 Fire Toads)
Fire Crawler, Lieutenant
Fire Crawler

Total 4975

The Red Blok list was as follows:

Urod
12 Krasnye Soldaty, Sgt., 3 Rockets, Medic, Mechanic
12 RPT Soldaty, Sgt., 3 Rockets, 2 Medics
12 Krasnye Soldaty, 3 Grenade Launchers, 2 Medics
9 Dragonov Kommandos, Sgt., 3 AT Gauss Guns, Medic, Electronic Warfare
6 Dragonov Kommandos, Sgt., 1 Sniper, Medic, Electronic Warfare
3 RPG Kolossus
3 Dragonov Sniper Squad
KK5
Hussar
Dotch Yaga
Dotch Yaga
Total 5015 (thought they could go over a bit and need it)

I used my GW Battle Realm board with some GW40k Buildings on it, along with an AT-43 bunker and some AT-43 walls scattered about.  I also had the GW Battlescape set up as a control point.  The game went back and forth a lot with the UNA pounding the Red Blok pretty heavily.  In the first round the Fire Crawlers and the unit of 4 Fire Toads burned down one Dotch Yaga.  Ryan spend most of the time scrambling his men around realizing the Red Blok accuracy issues.  In the end it came down to the final moments.  He had to control the objective with only 4 men in contact.  I had 5, but moved my TacArms in to control range.  If he would have held onto the objective for the final round, he would have won the game.  In the end, I ended up with it by about 2 figures.  I still had a Fire Crawler and 5 of 6 Fire Toads left, but my infantry was pretty well smoked by some well placed Mortar fire and some grenade weapons fire.  It was a fun game, playing with so many figures on the field.  It was finally a chance to break out my game table and have a game.  Thanks Ryan for showing up!  I hope this defeat doesn’t put you off more games in the future!

Here are some photos of the game:
