Some of you may have been following my progress on AOA for 40K Global, and some of you may know James Dillon Lee one of my fellow contributors. James has been working on a Crimson Fist army for his AOA, and you should definitely check out his articles (except the one where he kicks the snot out of my Orks):

As well as being a contributor on AOA and my usual opponent at 40K, James is also my best mate.
It was his Birthday recently so I picked him up the USEME systems for Zombie Dawn and An Eldritch Horror, as well as a horde of 15mm zombies, all from the fantastic 15mm website.
We’ve been chatting lately about how we both felt we wanted to play a few simple games, just for fun. I’m hoping that the USEME system will provide a cost-effective way to try something new, because the rulebooks are cheap, and the 15mm scale gives you the chance to pick up loads more models for a lower price point. The 15mm website is huge, so we can easily expand the forces if we like the games.
It wasn’t just alternative game systems and even tinier models, I also gave him the Dark Eldar codex as he has a Dark Eldar army just waiting to hit the table (last years gift), and most importantly for my challenge I gave him Pedro Kantor.
Pedro Kantor is a great model, he has cool background, and I was looking forward to painting him, but it seemed silly to have two Crimson Fist armies in such a small group. So I’ve gifted the model to James for his Birthday, I think it makes sense. I wish I could have painted him, but half the fun of a new model is painting it yourself, and if James paints him he will match the rest of his army.
I will give you an update on how I get on with the USEME system, and hopefully James can update you in one of his articles.
