The Hussar is a gear for NuCoal it has about 40 pieces and no instructions. Watch as Matt walks you through assembling it in real time. Share in his pitfalls as he walks through potential problems. It is not the easiest model to put together,but it isn’t tough either. The Guys at Dream Pod 9 really did a good job with this kit.

Join us in this Complete package as Matt opens the Hussar Tank and explores the realm of its construction. The Hussar is for the NuCoal faction in the game Heavy Gear Blitz from Dream Pod 9.  After Assembling this model I believe it to be the more complicated of the two models.

In this Episode of Figure Forge Matt uses rare earth magnets to assemble the weapons on the Hussar for Heavy Gear from Dream Pod 9.  He had a few problems that he caused for himself.  Actually we cut a good bit out of this video, he stabbed himself once, and sliced his finger twice.  The moral of the story is rare earth magnets are cool, but weapons are dangerous.

Starting Heavy Gear with the Northern Starter

As a result, I believe I will be expanding each article while I learn more about each faction.  Then if all goes well I hope to attack the Leagueless lands.  They are an interesting set of build rules that allow so much freedom, I do not believe one will ever stop writing on them.

So you have done it, you bought the Northern starter and finally assembled the models. Now what? You say to yourself looking at your four Hunters, four Jaguars, and your two Grizzlies. You pick up the rule book and tug at the hair on your head. “What have I gotten myself into? This starter is worthless.”

 

I will admit the starter is not the easiest thing to build with, but it is possible. Especially if you use priority level 1, 3, or 4. It does seem that the most accepted set of values is a TV of 750 with a priority level of 2. Which means you will have to upgrade if you want to play set games (like some tournaments).

The Voligeur is a uniquely designed NuCoal weapon.  It is the main battle tank for sale to the Eastern Sun Emirates and other Badland Communities.  The original production stagnated do the cost of the armament.  Production picked up again with and under powered barrel.

When you get to take a look other pictures you will be impressed with the overall size of the model.  It is not an HHT 90 mind you, but you can clearly see it earns its size rating of 13.  It is certainly large enough to spearhead an assault.

 

 

The Voligeur can now be found on the battlefield in 3 variants.

Flash Point Fire Rescue 2nd Edition

$ 39.99 SRP

 

A cooperative game of fire rescue. The call comes in… “911, what is your emergency?” On the other end is a panicked response of “FIRE!” Moments later you don the protective suits that will keep you alive, gather your equipment and rush to the scene of a blazing inferno. The team has only seconds to assess the situation and devise a plan of attack – then you spring into action like the trained professionals that you are. You must face your fears, never give up, and above all else work as a team because the fire is raging, the building is threatening to collapse and lives are in danger. You must succeed. You are the brave men and women of fire rescue, people are depending on you. This is what you do every day. Flash Point: Fire Rescue is a cooperative game. All the players are on the same team and everyone either wins or loses together. To win, the players must rescue the victims trapped inside a burning building before it collapses.

Today we are going to talk about building some “cracked Earth” desert Terrain.   If you like modular terrain over building tables this is a very simple project that yields high results.    If you want to you can even use this concept as a base for your whole table.

In order to do this project you will only need a few supplies.  They are a putty knife, crackle texture paint,  paint brush, water, brown paint and a can or a container for making a wash in.

HINT:  More often than not people buy more crackle texture paint than they need.   If you have a Restore (Habitat for Humnaity), or a thrift store near by you can find it cheap.  We only paid fifty cents a bottle.  The color doesn’t even matter because you are going to paint it.

 

 

The first step is to shape and contour your hills; which was already done for us.

 

 

We will start with step 2.  Which is to spread the crackle paint on the terrain.  This is really pretty simple, just smear it on.  We have discovered the best thickness to be about a quarter of an inch.  I suppose that it really depends on the amount of humidity in your work area though.  By putting it on at about that thickness it gave us a nice amount of cracking.   The pieces that had thinner layers seem to dry to quick and the cracks were much closer together.
