Title: Shaltari nomads from the space
Post by: jchaos79 on 23 June 2015, 11:02:23 PM
I won a Shaltari Tribe starter in the 2015 competition (participation prize), so... now is time to start the little project.

My idea is playing Dropzone commander world.... using proxis mainly pendraken but any manufacturer of 10mm could be ok for me.... and using the rules of Future world commander.

Dropzone commander has a great background and the book is really inspiring. It focus me to science fiction.
But Dropzone commander is very expensive, and pendraken has great quality for great price.
At last dropzone commander ruleset is good, but too much detail on weaponary... I prefer a simple game as future world commander and I like the system of turns and orders.

So that is my bet.

I will start with some pictures of shaltari nomads:

Project: Shlatari space nomads
Unit: Braves from the tribe

Project: Shlatari space nomads
Unit: 1st Tomahawk Grav Tank

My idea is using aliens for scourge.
Old range of space marines for UCM.
New range of sci fi for Post Human republic.
And have a lot of fun

comparison sieze pictures

Any idea or though about conversion dropzone world to future world commander or figures to be used is very welcome!

6 APCs + 12 Infantry stands + 2 dropships
6 Tanks + 2 dropships
6 AA Tanks +2 dropships
4 buggys + 2 Light dropships
2 Intercepters (cool looking fighters)

Scourge

6 APCs + 12 Infantry stands + 2 dropships
6 Tanks + 2 dropships

Thanks toxicpixie,

I need to paint it again, because 5 minuts after the gates opens, my son came take the stargate and mess with the paint (that was a little bit fresh...). but it is all right, it was fun thinking about stargates and painting it  ;D
