Not really the right place I now realise - A while back now but some good photos of 3 games played at my place - SF Judge Dread Kraken Nebula crossover, Roman vs Brits, and WWII Maquis vs Brandenburgers.

They look great, Mike! Each has its own unique period feel. I know I sound like a broken record, but what rules do you use? I've tried half a dozen skirmish level rules and I find that many are so granular that they wind up taking two hours to simulate two minutes of action. I've found that Fistful of Lead works best for me, but I'm curious if the rules you use are generally available so I can compare them.
Cheers,
Nick Stern

Very nice Mike! A couple of questions for you:
Did you scratch build the judge death? And where did you get those trees in the 3rd pic? Are they home made as well
Cheers

Thanks gents.
Nick, we use our own TODD! rules (Tales of Derring Do!) in various period variants. They use D10 and the simple basic concept is that to do whatever you want you have to roll: 1 is always a bad fail (penalty to pay), 2 & 3 fail (try again next time), 5-9 succeed, 10 brilliant success (bonus). Whose Turn is decided by cards (or BA dice). Better characters have more Turn cards, making them more effective. Better characters roll 2D10 and take the best; poorer characters roll 2D10 and take the worst. There are lots (too many!) of special abilities which can be used to shape a figure's character. All the rules are summarised onto 2 sides of an A4/foolscap sheet of paper for ready reference. I can send you a set as a pdf or word doc.
Jhonpog, The Evil judges were all made from one of the other judge figures. The trees and hedges come from a UK maker The Forgotten Country - he makes them individually. They are sold for 28mm but work perfectly with 54mm.

Beautiful looking games! How'd that gun turret for the spaceship get built/where did it come from?
Also love the fire/explosion effects in the pics of the sci fi game; a good app I've used to add similar effects is called LensFX on iPhone.
And who makes those Briton "Valkyries" fighting against Rome in their regulation miniskirts?

Thanks guys.
Gun turret from a cheap HK plastic toy tank.
I am not sure who the Amazons were, they were Ted's, but I will ask. I think they might have been gladiators - Del Prado?
