Movie Tone News March 2019

Sorry there was no news last month but there really wasn't any news to bring you guys :)
Since the turn of the year the two busies departments have been make-up & script but at least last month did see a release with the concluding part of Secret of Corpse Diamond Temple.
                               

This has lead me in away I didn't expect, if you seen the movie you'll know that I used my Spacehulk tiles & that got me thinking of doing some Spacehulk stuff which then lead to another project that I've wanted to do for years that has been started & dropped a few times, but I'll come back to that later.

So what is Spacehulk (SH) some of you might know & some of you mightn't, SH is an old GW two player game set in old abandoned spaceships which has Space Marines fighting Geanstealers, think of the movie Aliens for an idea of it.

The Spacehulk set up for the first mission with the Marines ready to enter.

Like I said SH is a two player game that with one or two changes works very well as a solo game, now as is often the case with a lot of GW boardgames if your a 40K player the models will end up been used in your 40K army & this was the case with me.
Now the Geanstealers models I still have but painted in away to suit an army long gone so need a repaint, while the Marines where sold off as part of another army, so a couple of years back I bought some more Marines which where also to be part of the other project, did some work on them & that's how they've been the last couple of years until now.

What's this ? no clear bases this time but I need two bases for each Marine as the 40mm bases don't work for Spacehulk, as you can see they have magnets in them as have the feet of the Marines

So the plan is to get SH up & running first with just what's needed & then add other stuff which I'll cover at another time, so on to the other project which I'll call Anphelion & is based on a Forge World book called Imperial Armour VI The Anphelion Project, which pitches the Imperial forces of  which the Space Marines are a part of against the Tyranids of which the Geanstealers are a part of, see its all starting to make sense now :)

In January's news I talked about a budget linked to movies idea, well to get the above project up & running I took Ivor's advice & blow the budget out of the water so we can forget all about that, thanks mate :)

The two main stars of The Anphelion Project, on the left Ordo Xenos Inquisitor Solomon Lok & on the right Commander Carab Cullin of the Red Scorpions Space Marines.

This project will take years & I'm not sure if I should keep it here on have it in a different studio, but I've been missing my Sci-fi & its a setting I know very well & am comfortable in, the plan is to go back to a time before the advents of the book & build up to the book  using Spacehulk & other games.

I going to leave that for now, so in other news how many of you remember the picture below ?
                              
                                                         
Its alright if you don't as I wasn't expecting you to but give yourself a pat on the back if you did :)
The picture is the last scene  from the Perilous Island campaign, now the plan was at the time was for this to lead into the Lemuria campaign but somehow the book for it just doesn't do it for me, so I looked around for something else & found a RPG book called Hallow Earth Expedition or HEX for short & have decided to run with that as it gives me a lot more freedom.

The plan is to use the 45 adventure rules set for the games, but like a RPG this will be as much story driven as game driven, anyway the opening chapter has already been scripted with just a few scenes to be shot & should be released soon.

Well that's it for this months news, so it's a goodnight from me & a goodnight from him :)
As always my thanks for dropping in & if you'd care to leave a comment it would be welcomed.
