Alien Quadrilogy blu-ray box?

Sure why not.

Very nice looking.  I await the next unit to be created. :thumbsup:

The decision was to hold off publishing any side ventures until the new Lee books are through the editing process.  :(  Obviously, not a decision I voted for.  I'd be glad to send you a copy of the rules for playtest purposes, if you play Napoleonics.

I talked to the fellas at Cold Wars about that Lee project they seemed to be jizzing over;  honestly though, 8 volumes?  Really?  A bit much.

I did sign up on the email notification list, though.   You can tell who I was--under "Favorite Battle", I was the one that filled in "Atlanta".

Agree, but we learned from Napoleon's Apogee that people won't balk at paying $150 each for two volumes, but will balk at paying $225 for the same material in one volume.  We re-cast the original 5 volumes into 8 (but these are volumes the size of Napoleon's Finest, not Napoleon's Apogee).

Remember that this lee work is going to be like the Napoleonic stuff:  full of maps, OOBs, sidebars on equipment, formations, and personalities,  uniform plates, step-by-step drawings of the battles as they progressed, and the like.  This isn't a text info-drop.  We are deleting stuff to get it into eight volumes!
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

OK, that sounds a little more reasonable.  "All Lee, All The Time" would make me retch.  Fuck him, genius or not.  There's only so much info you can get on a traitor.

My next unit is done! As you can see it's a little different. It's artillery. :)



Really like these models. The gun model itself is awesome.

I haven't made a final decision on what to do with the edges of the bases, that's why they look a little unfinished. Just like the bases for the billmen.

Didn't have any sunlight available for this photo. As usual.

Wow.  Badass.  Definitely liking your work with these models.

Anyone ever heard of Flames of War?
