Mass Effect Minis and a FireZone update

It has been a while since I've posted, but I've not been idle - far from it!
With the help of the multi-talented Porky of Porky's Expanse (I'm convinced he's not a person, but some terrible blogging intelligence [seriously, he's a blogging machine, he's posted twice while I've been typing this and faffing around in photoshop]) I've been getting FireZone to a state of near completion.

The rules for artilley, airstrikes and the like are done, as are vehicles (took me a while to get to a point I was happy with the balance of simplicity vs realism) and I'm currently working on buildings, weather and hostile environments.
The environment will be fully interactive, with players able to blow holes in walls (or blow up buildings wholesale), ram cars through shopfronts and create all sorts of mayhem.

The last thing is to write up summary and roster sheets (black text on white for the guys at La Armarda ;p ) as well as write up some army lists. The plan is:

- Expanded Sedition Wars list (more stuff to what it is now)

- Generic list - the forces of the PDRG, E-Com and INV army

- Fallout / Mad Max / post apocalyptica - special rules for ammo and fuel shortages, radiation hotspots and such iconic elements

- Mass Effect - Shepard, Liara, Tali and all the rest...


Oh, there they are! I'll be making most, and hopefully eventually all the crew. Currently I have planned:

Commander  Shep Shepard (a Spectre and Alliance N7 Special ops, some things she scans are anomolous but the rest are rocks), Earthborn War Hero Soldier and all 'round alcoholic.

Dr Liara T'Soni
Tali'Zorah vas Normandy
Jacob
Kaiden
Miranda
Kasumi
Garrus
Ashley
Thane

They're all based off of Infinity minis, with some obvious greenstuffing going on. I do want to do the others (Zaeed, Wrex, Kelly, Joker, Anderson, Conrad, Legion, Mordin, EDI) but I'm yet to find suitable base bodies for them. Still, more work yet to do before I get to that point.
