Looks like vassal to me. It has built in dice rollers and stuff and you can play online, good for trying out lists etc.
The 40k module got shut down by GW, but that just means you can't get it from the official site any more. If you have the prog it still works.

I don't think anyone made any WFB or WotR modules, probably because of the way units work so much differently to basic skirmish type formations.
There is a Warmachine module, which I believe got officially endorsed by Privateer Press.

I've seen something similar for warhammer but not sure what it's called or where it's from. TWF is prob best place to ask about it.

So, having gone positively batty again still painting my Valkyrie, I decided that for a change, I'd paint a Space Marine. I've got the 'Battle Brother Artremis' model from Inquisitor that I've planned for a while to paint up into a kind of mini statuette, however I figured I'd get some practice with colour schemes in first.

With the Space Hulk models, I've been inspired to try a Blood Raven (since Blood Angels are a bit overdone right now!) and I think he looks rather good!



I started off with a pretty simple Scab Red for the armour and Khemri Brown on the pads basecoat. Then it was a simple matter of layering Red Gore and Kommando Khaki followed by highlights of Merchite Red and Bleached Bone and assorted washes. Simples!

Though painting him still managed to take me 3 evenings worth of time. I think I just spent too much time watching TV while holding the paint brush in my hand

I think it's safe for me to actually, possibly start to think of it now as me having finished painting a tank!

Normally there's always something I've missed doing, or not bothered, or ignored. The crewmen, some attachment, something like that. But I think I can finally declare my manticore as finished!
