Repurposed Alien Monsters for FUBAR

Here's a gaggle of tentacled alien monsters for use in our FUBAR games. The Zerg-like figures are from Wizkid's Heroclix line and they've been primed and rebased. The bases are cheap plastic poker chips around an inch plus in diameter. I haven't decided on a color scheme for these critters but might go with blue and yellow. Too many of my sci figs are already black and red.

Major General Tremorden Rederring's Colonial-era Wargames Page

A bit of nostalgia here. I'm gearing up for a weekend of working on my wargame table and was surfing for inspiration. Happily, I rediscovered Major General Tremorden Rederring's Colonial-era Wargames at the Wayback Machine.

"May the Morrigan feast well today, and not on my innards!" For weeks, Keltoi scouts have followed the advance of an orcish host from the deep south. Now, the green horde of monsters have reached the outermost village of the Keltoi Irinae tribe. With only a vast grassy field separating the monsters from the village, Brogda and the Keltoi weaponsmen he could muster plan to meet the invaders at the village edge and hold them until reinforcing Irinae from other villages arrive. The women and children have left the village together with half the scouts two days past and reinforcements should be arriving this morning. "They better be bringing their chariots and horsemen," Cumal said to the brooding Brogda. " The orcs have wolves... and trolls." "Balor ...
