New Vectors - Converted Sedition Wars Cthonian

It's been a bit since posting something Sedition Wars-y, but I finished my souped-up display Cthonian!

Meat Space - More Sedition Wars Strain

The Shambling Menace grows!

(Not sure what else there is to say about these guys... They're space zombies, and I still like the sculpt with the giant arm best...)

Om Nom - Big Strain Beasties

The Grendlr is still my favorite Sedition Wars mini (with second going to Kara Black).

Real Horrorshow - Sedition Wars Strain

The lack of bloody smears on these guys actually heightens the dark feel to them, I think.

More Man than Machine? Cthonian re-sculpt (also, Cthonian Assault Drone)

This has been a side project I've been working on ever since I finished my Grendlr conversion some time back. The Cthonian looks nice as a robot, but never really spoke to me as a giant evil pseudo-organic intelligence, which demanded a change.

Flying Solo - Sedition Wars Solo Play Designer's Notes & (unofficial) Co-op Rules

The Solo rules variant for Sedition Wars is the most ambitious and complex set of rules I've written. While I started the project expecting I could get it done in around 6-8 pages, it became something far grander in scope as I worked on it.

(This article assumes you're either familiar with the terms, have the rules (the beta rules PDFs are here) or are fine catching as catch can, knowing some game terms aren't explained.)

Initial Concept

Coming into the project, I had a ton of experience testing Sedition Wars, and knew the flow of the game pretty much backwards and forwards. There were a few points I knew I wanted to address from the beginning:

...*Was* the Law. Dead Justice and other zombies from Malifaux

This was an interesting little group to paint.

Braaains! Test Zombie

A quick little one today- a test color scheme for a Mantic Zombie- the first of many!

Done using a lot of the techniques I developed while painting up my Strain minis for Sedition Wars.

Kinda' running out of references, here... Sedition Wars ALIENS homage models

Man, almost done...

Bees, man! Bees have Hives! Sedition wars Strain stuff, getting towards the end.

Gross.

Insert Reference Here... umm, already done. Sedition Wars Homage Characters

Seven months late, but starting in on the second wave of Sedition Wars minis...

Readings, in front and behind - Sedition Wars terrain, part 1

I've done a number of terrain projects over the years, and realized that they're most often the projects I get distracted by mid-process, so I wanted to start small with this one.

Far from Over - Sedition Wars Grendlr, version 2

Since I got two of these beasties, and both liked the original and don't like having duplicates, I decided to try something more spectacular...

Cocci, A Sedition Wars scenario

This scenario is actually the first I've written that went beyond "wouldn't it be cool if...?" and is actually developed and tested.

Color Theory, (Board) Game Theory: OF-1 Nikiita Perostek, Exploding Dice (addition: durability and common attacks)

This mini really pushed my abilities. I started with teal, as what was going to be a reference, but it quickly became something more than that.

Black Operations- Sedition Wars Strategic Scenario analysis, and Vanguard Opticamo

First off, a painting update.

Compare & Contrast - Sedition Wars revisions - Revenant tests

A quick one, today. I decided that, while I'm not sure what to do with the extra copies of minis I got from the Kickstarter, I want to have at least the core set painted to a really nice standard.

I rushed through the basic infantry on both sides, and it was time to go back in and get them looking spiffy.

This was the result of the first round of changes. I pushed the contrast a lot, picked out some details, and added more color to the bases. I'm happy enough with these that I've been working a bit on the others.

Aurora Unit 313 & Friends - Sedition Wars painting log, continued: Cthonian and Barker

Finally, I finished painting everything from the Battle for Alabaster set.

Compare & Contrast - Sedition Wars, testing the first scenario under 1st and 2nd edition rules

As I posted yesterday, the PDFs for second edition Sedition Wars came out. There's been a lot of controversy, and I thought it would be good to try something out.

I decided try to repeat the same scenario under the same conditions, using the same strategy, using the same rolls, with both rules sets. I'm playing these simultaneously with two types of counters. Yes, it's confusing, but I'm curious to see how the same tactics work on both versions.

We can feel confident your so-called "biological crisis" is over? - Grendlr

Originally, this was going to be another OSL study, but, like so many experiments, it got out of control.
