Well after reading the buzz on The miniatures page. I went on amazon and got tomorrow's war. I'm not gonna review it or anything or even talk about it much, that's been covered out there on the web, on a hundred other blogs, basically it's Force on Force in space.
Anyway this gives a use for my Shock Troops. I had painted 11, so I've painted up a few more. Here are some or the more interesting types; a Team Leader wearing a field service cap, 3 gunners with various types of laser guns and a specialist with a scanner.
Here is my platoon. I haven't painted a third squad, it won't be needed in most games.
In Tomorrow's war they are as follows:
Shock Troops
Quality: D8
Moral: D10
Confident
Normal Supply
Tech Level 2
Amour: Light (1D)
Platoon
1 HQ squad
3 Shock troop squads (I only have 2 squads painted)
1 Fire support team
HQ
Platoon Leader
Radio Operator
Shock troop squad
2 x fire teams
Fire Team
Team Leader
Grenadier or Laser gunner (AP:1 AT:1)
2 x Troopers
Fire support Team
2 x Gunners with GPMG's (AP:2)
2 x assistant gunners
But who will they fight for control on the universe?
My old Imperial Guard the 29th Witchinuka!!! (They may or may not remain the Witchinuka depends if I think of a better name. It's supposed to sound like one of those towns in the US midwest. They will remain the 29th 'cus they have XXIX painted on that flag).
Laters...
