The Quar

-
The Quar are a race native to the harsh, mountainous world of Alwyd, where they've been engaged in intermittent warfare for millennia, according to their game lore.

Originally produced as metal figures, the Quar have since been re-released in plastic by Wargames Atlantic.

Not wanting an entire box, I bought just enough sprues from eBay to assemble a squad for "A Fistful of Lead".

I opted for a straightforward design, with khaki uniforms paired with green webbing and gear. This squad will definitely make an appearance in an upcoming sci-fi game!

Dead Set Britain

Cruising through the empty streets, Jezza and the gang stumbled upon a promising spot for exploration: three houses and a construction site that looked ripe for looting.   They pulled up in the Transit and quickly devised a plan. Jezza and Captain Slow would tackle two of the houses, while Hamster and Stig would take on the remaining one and the construction site. Turn 1 Captain Slow sprinted to the first house. Finding the front door locked, he took a chance and kicked it in with a crash. Jezza bolted past him, heading straight upstairs. Meanwhile, Stig leapt out of the Transit and dashed to take cover behind a maroon Rover parked on the street.   Hamster quickly realized the commotion had attracted the attention of the zombies nearby. Without hesitation, he pulled out his trusty pistol and fired at one of the undead. He missed, but the shot did its job—drawing the zombies toward him instead. Turn 2 Jezza and Captain Slow charged upstairs tow...

The Winter of Discontent - A very British Zombie Apocalypse!

The bitter cold of the "Winter of Discontent" gripped the streets of the United Kingdom in 1978–1979. The air was thick with tension as strikes swept the country, paralyzing essential services. Everywhere you looked, there were mountains of rubbish piled up, spilling into the streets like a silent warning of the collapse of order. The once-bustling city centers now reeked of decay and neglect, the towering piles of waste hiding something far worse than the filth of human living. Hospitals, strained by the lack of staff, now only treated emergency cases, but many were too far gone to save. Overworked doctors and nurses moved like shadows through the half-empty wards, their faces drawn with exhaustion, unaware that the dead they pronounced were not staying dead. Then came the grave diggers' strike. Delays in burials meant bodies piled up in makeshift morgues or were hastily stored in churches and cold storage facilities. But the bodies didn’t stay still for long. One by one...

A Cabin in the Woods

It feels like a lifetime ago, but when Jezza was a kid, he used to spend time camping in a cottage owned by his Uncle Bob. Bob had a bit of a survivalist streak, and Jezza can't help but wonder if his uncle might still be alive, holed up in that same cottage. If nothing else, some of Bob's survival gear might still be there. Turn 1 After losing Tiff and with The Stig nowhere to be found, Jezza had no choice but to bring in some new recruits. Enter Sabine, a West German national stranded in the UK when the zombie outbreak hit. Armed with a knife and a pistol, she was ready for action. Joining her was Freddie, a Manchester punk who preferred to let his fists do the talking. After parking the van, Jezza surveyed the area and decided to move. Knowing Uncle Bob had a habit of stashing gear around his property, he led the gang toward the outhouse. Luck was on their side—rolling the first of fourteen sixes granted Hamster an extra action, which he used to scavenge supplies from the ou...
