It's not ideal but I can it printed in black and white double sided and spiral from doxdirect for £6 if I need to
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

The Berkeley Vale club has played a few games of Laserstorm

http://twomarshals.blogspot.co.uk/2015/10/laserstorm-at-blast-tastic-2015.html

It's fast and furious and uses card activation

The only downside is that there are no army lists

I have coded up a unit and weapon calculator at http://twomarshals.blogspot.co.uk/p/laserstorm-calculator.html

So, asking my own question...

What rules would people suggest to use with Pendraken's range? I'm guessing FWC would be in the frame, but what else? I'm thinking especially of any rule sets that handle the Bugs particularly well.

Laser storm is a real old school almost an RPG type game which rewards a gentlemanly approach to having fun whilst working with and around the rather eclectic rules :D Good fun but requires some "applied handwavium" and campaign structure/set up.

You could go "Oldhammer" and break out original Rogue Trader, or Space Hulk or similar...

Been looking at Warpath as well

From a couple of test games it would work well at 15mm or smaller rather than28mm

Damn, I'm thinking Laserburn, not laser storm! I'm assuming you want something more skirmish, more Aliens than Starship Trooper...

If you are thinking Laserburn, do a search on Beamstrike....a developed version.

I'm not actually certain. I'm quite drawn to the FWC scale of one base = one squad or vehicle. Much as I'm a skirmishes at heart, 4 figsures on a 50 x 20 base are so much quicker to produce.

If you're more into skirmish Micheal at Angel Barracks has a nice set of rules KR16 I beleive but Nick also has some units for them painted up on his main page Junkers are what they are called.
I also placed a breakdown on your other thread about the make up of weapons in a modern British unit.

Thanks Sean. I should have thought to look on Nik's site first, I have it bookmarked!

Time to have a word with Leon I think...
