Creating your own Space Marine chapter

Stumbled across this series of articles today.  Being someone that created their own Space Marine chapter around 1995, and loving player created work, I thought I'd share this.

Designing a chapter

Have a Awesome weekend everyone!

Ouchers...

Sometimes, taking a closeup of yer newest paint job brings out all the errors.  Was going to submit this to a contest, but I'm thinking maybe not now.  Oh well, I still have a blast painting.

Running Code Name Overhead v 1.1

Another Thursday night running a Space Hulk mission at the Gamerz store. Since the last time we played we ran the first part of this campaign, 'Code Name Blue Screen', we decided to give the mission a shot. 2 players running Space Marines (Blood Angels & Space Wolves) and 2 other's running the Genestealers. The mission was a definite change from the first part, that was strongly favoring the Space Marines (Long hallways for the Stealers to traverse). This mission was cool from the random events that were rolled for after the 6th turn. The dice roles brought a Librarian, Flamer and Broodlord onto the board, which made thing's quite interesting, to say the least. In the end the Stealers were victorious! Also, you can see some 'warpage' on some of the tiles which I am trying to fix with little luck.

The Mad scientists laboratory...

Actually cleaned my 'Area' up, and thought I'd let people see where the madness is conducted.

Excited about our next local con!!

More to come regarding Missions and plans for this Home grown con!!

So, what have I been doing...?

Well, painting since most of the weekly games have been on hold for the holidays.  Here are some examples ...

Soul Drinkers Terminator

3rd Edition Genestealer

Deathwing Captain

Imperial Fist Terminator








Also working on battle damage/weathering, but still can't seem to get it right.  Back to experimenting.  If anyone has any good tips, please send them on in!!

Talk about Awesome!!!

As you can see, the page has gotten quite a bit of Awesomeness!  A huge thanx goes out to Robbie Saucier who made this for me.  That just made my Xmas!

Gamerz night running Mission Blue Screen

And believe it or not....he survived!

Come Get Some!!

Random image from the Starbase Indy Convention at the lovely Marriot at 21st and Shadeland. Just a quick 5 minute trip for me, and alot of my types of conventions take place here. The games worked out great, 6 sessions of the 'Multiplayer Mission' that remains in the 'File' section of BBG.













During one session the 4 marine players were all from one family!  Sorry Mom, didn't mean to have you not in-frame.

Wow, this is relly sad...

Well, after spending a great thanksgiving with my family, I awake this morning to this sad news...

Looking at the Files page for Space Hulk 3rd Edition it looks like a majority of files were removed very recently. These were fan created files included many files for the Tilesystem program, log books for SH sessions, and even alternate counters for chaos squads. I can understand somewhat the reasoning for protecting IP, but overall this will make many people sour in regards to GW products. Hopefully the content I put on this page won't be stifled with this new judgment.

Mission from BBG!!

I Got Married!

Yup, believe it or not, I finally tied the knot with my gal Angie! We are in New Orleans right now, and just got back from a very cool cemetery tour.

But Chris, this hasn't anything to do with Space Hulk?!?

Ok...ya got me there. Well, we will be running a 6 player mission at StarBase Indy, November 27-29. You can find more information here. The mission is called 'Purification', and it will be sort of a large scale 'Cleanse and Burn' scenario. I wanted to make it simple for new players to get thier feet wet.

So Chris, where have ya been?...

Well, busy busy busy! My wedding is coming up this weekend, Oct 31st! Yup, Halloween (I won't be able to easily forget it). Besides that I've been working on...

- My New Space Wolf Terminator squad.

- New conversions of old bitz (My first attempt).

- New Replacement for my Blood Angels squad leader (Pics to be here soon).

- New Ultramarine Squad from SH 3rd edition conversions.

- New multi-squad mission for the upcoming Starbase Indy Con.

At Gamerz on 10/08/2009

Here's a shot of the custom board created by Gamerz in Greenwood. Blood Angels and Terra Knights try to retrieve a C.A.T and get it off the board.

New Space Wolf Terminator boxed set

Here is a 'what you see is what you get' with the new Space Wolf Terminator boxed set. Now to try and figure out how to arm my new squad to use them in as many 3rd edition missions as possible. This was another 'Declined' image from BBG.
