Cars Wars First Game

So played my first Car Wars game the other night.

All I can say it was in game a few seconds of complete brutality and chaos, while real time was a few hours of fun and hilarity (one guy flipped onto his roof after ramming another player, continuing to shoot at anyone that crossed his sights).

Bolt Action Sea Lion Game

Played a 1000 point game of Bolt Action at the League of Ancients today. Was a fun Sea Lion inspired game. The scenario was a basic hold the crossroads, I managed to get shot to bits as the German invader.

Car Wars Conversions Painted

I've finished painting and basing the five cars that were converted earlier. Superglue was used to stick them onto a 3" x 1.5" piece of 3mm MDF followed by a PVA and sand mix for the basing material. They were then spray painted black, followed by Vallejo black acrylic and brush for any bits that were missed. They didn't get a particular special paint job, just simple highlights and some weathering to get them done (to be honest they were a lot more fun to convert).

1965 Pontiac GTO, the leader:

1963 Chevy II with a flamerthrower:

1984 Oldsmobile Hurst/Old, ram car:

Volkswagen SP2, light car to act as a sniper:

Land Rover Defender 90, support truck with turreted grenade launcher:

The flags look a little more pixilated in the photos, while from a normal distance they look fine. I'm planning a game or two of Car Wars in a week and I'll take some pictures of them in game.

Overall I'm happy with them and something I've always wanted to do - and for me to go from purchasing to a game in 4-5 weeks is pretty fast. Finally, there's room in the storage tin I found for them for one more car, so I'll probably do one last conversion at some point in the future.
