This is certainly the smallest / cheapest / fastest build of the Pocket Armies series that I have worked on, using 28 miniatures for gaming on a domestic kitchen / dining table sized space.
It comprises of three boxes of Games Workshop figures and an MDF Sewer Grating from Warbases, which collectively, the list prices would cost £78, but I was able to pick them up for £71 (see Resource Section below). The ‘human’ based force is taken from Cadian Shock Troops plus the Sentinel kit (a Walker). The ‘infestation’ comprise of the Tyranid Hormagaunt Brood models.
With relatively few bases to build and the ‘creatures’ being so easy to paint, this makes for a great starter point for getting into the genre or just getting into some fun figure gaming.
The project has been put together for ‘search and destroy’ type scenarios, with just squad / team sized armies per side and the infestation being re-cycled after loss.
The rest of this post is given over to a description to the settings that these figures will be used in, plus the inclusion of a small scenario and a link to a 3 page fast play set of rules, making this project a quick and relatively economic venture to jump into.
