Now that the higher-level command figures and vehicles have been released for the Garn, I can add them to the Gallery:
Garn infantry from Khurasan
Garn Alligator class SuperHeavy transport from Khurasan
The next pictures from Khurasan's Pelagic Dominate range.
Orca Heavy Infantry from Khurasan
A new GYFTOOMF army list: Critical Mass Games' excellent ARC Fleet human army contains a good mix of infantry types supported by both grav tanks and walkers.
I've updated some of the army lists for Get Your Frickin' Tentacle Out Of My Face (the sci-fi variant of IABSM) to take into account new releases from Khurasan Miniatures. These include two ridiculously superheavy vehicles for the Garn (the tank variant is shown below) and the Myzontid Ranger infantry for the Pelagic Dominate (the standard infantry grouping also shown below).
Garn Crocodile class SuperHeavy tanks from Khurasan
Myzontid Rangers from Khurasan
A sci-fi AAR: the Protolene Khanate invade Earth and find themselves up against the US Army!
I haven't had a chance to do much gaming in the last month or so: holidays, work, real life etc! I have, however, been able to do a little painting: here are the first pictures of the Protolene Khanate, Critical Mass Games' excellent range of dog-headed sci-fi infantry and walkers.
To give you some idea of how large the medium walkers are, the infantry below are mounted on 20p plastic tokens, the medium walkers on large FOW bases...
Can't wait to try them out on the table!

The first pictures from Khurasan's Pelagic Dominate range.
I've updated all the army lists for Get Your Frickin' Tentacle Out Of My Face (the sci-fi variant of IABSM) to take into account new releases, extra information, and to make the initiative dice for each type of infantry more consistent.
Finally got around to uploading pictures of my elite Aphid scouts and (quite fantastic) battlesuits for Get Your Fricking Tentacle Out Of My Face.
Aphid Heavy Infantry (figures from Battlestations)
I've added details for Zombiesmith's beautifully realised quasi-WW1 alien race: the Quar. Highly recommended figures for those who play either GYFTOOMF or even M&B.
The first (of hopefully many!) After Action Reports using Get Your Frickin' Tentacle Out Of My Face: the IABSM sci-fi variant from the TFL Christmas Special 2009. Here, a brave rapid reaction force is ordered to "Hold until Overrun" in the face of insectoid assault from The Hive. Epic stuff!
Read the AAR here.
I've added details for Critical Mass Games' Marrok Walkers: medium walkers to support the Protolene Khanate infantry.
The image below doesn't really do justice to the size of this thing, but a 15mm infantryman comes in at under the walker's knee height!
I've added details for Khurasan's excellent new "space wasps", the Vespulid Swarm, to the Hive Army Lists. Got to get me some of these!
If there is such a thing as trends in wargaming, then 15mm science-fiction is currently it. The last year or so has seen an explosion in the range and variety of figures available: the mainly human ranges already existent have been joined by Aphids, Quar, Spugs, Garn, Karkarines, Felids, Dracon, Blarad and Greys to name but a few.
In the TooFatLardies 2009 Xmas Special, I wrote a sci-fi adaptation of IABSM so that I could play with all my new sci-fi toys. Although you'll need the 2009 Xmas Special article to play the game, here is the start of a host of useful support material, along with the usual Army Gallery and AAR sections.
I will soon (next few days) be adding a whole new section to Vis Lardica, dedicated to Get Your Frickin' Tentacle Out Of My Face: the IABSM Sci-Fi variant from the Christmas Special 2009. Army lists and an army gallery will be first up.
Vis Lardica is a website devoted to wargaming and military history, with a special emphasis on the company-sized rulesets produced by the TooFatLardies: I Ain't Been Shot Mum (WW2); Charlie Don't Surf (Vietnam); and Quadrant 13 (science fiction). There’s also a lot of content devoted to To The Strongest (Ancients/Medievals) and For King & Parliament (17th Century).
Welcome to Vis Lardica, a not-for-profit website mostly dedicated to the company-sized wargaming rules produced by the TooFatLardies, but encompassing my other gaming interests as well.
