Sidetracked by an Assassin
Mutant Chronicles Warzone background info
Here's a little of the Warzone background for you.
It is the distant future, the Earth is a baron wasteland. Humanity has migrated to Venus, Mars, Mercury, Luna (the first settlement following the exodus from Earth), and the Asteroid Belt.
Over the centuries, the traditional nations of the world have merged into huge corporations, of which five are large enough to be called mega corporations: Bauhaus, they have a very Germanic feel, Capitol is American-influenced, Mishima has a Japanese theme, the British-inspired Imperial, and Cybertronic these guys have a very tech based theme complete with cyborgs and robots. Each Mega Corporation has it's own military.
Luna is considered to be neutral ground and is home to the massive city-state known as Luna City. The other two major power of this universe are the Brotherhood a fanatical religious organization, and the Cartel they are the watchdogs of the Corporations. The Cartel also formed the Doomtroopers; an elite force comprised of soldiers from all the Mega Corporations to fight the Dark Legion.
The discovery of the Dark Legion happened when mankind went exploring Nero, a fictional 10th planet beyond the orbit of Pluto, where they discovered a seemingly abandoned citadel. As they entered, the Imperial Conquistadors – a group of interplanetary explorers – accidentally broke the First Seal Of Repulsion, a thin ring of salt spread around the citadel. Inside, a mysterious iron plate was found, and as it was touched, the Dark Legion was brought to our dimension, and along with it, the Dark Symmetry.
Now onto gameplay.
Warzone is a Skirmish level Wargame it uses an alternating activation system instead of the IgoUgo that 40K uses. Each model may preform a number of actions based on it's unit profile. Actions include things like moving, shooting, climbing, throwing grenades.
Warzone has a more realistic feel compared to 40K. For example say your trooper has 3 actions; He can step out from behind a building, shoot the enemy, and them move back behind the building.

Coporate Troops
I've been busy diggin' out all of my Warzone stuff; although I still haven't found a couple of boxes. Here are the last miniatures I painted before taking my hiatus from the game.
From right to left. Capitol "Sea Lion", Bauhaus "Hussar", Imperial "Blood Beret"
I generally like the schemes; the only thing I'd change for sure is the blue under suit on the Hussar.
As a side note; I do not plan on using many if any of the Early Corporate minis. I'll be filling in using Urban Mammoth's Urban war line, Void and maybe even some GW IG conversions.

First new model
Here's a WIP of my first newly painted mini. She will be my first Doomtrooper!
I'm really pleased with how nice she's turning out.
For those who don't know the Mutant Chronicles has beat 40K to the big screen. Mutant Chronicles teaser
While it may not be 100 percent faithful to the background (what movie ever survives contact with Hollywood) It looks to be action packed.
Revisiting the Miniatures
Warzone Mutant Chronicles
Is the best skirmish Sci-Fi miniatures game ever created. I played Warzone MC back when the 1st edition came out back in 1996. I stopped playing it after moving back to the bay area as there were no players.
I've been living a lie trying to play and enjoy Warhammer 40K another Sci-Fi game that really hasn't been good since the change from 2nd edition to 3rd. I refuse to sit here and play a game that I no longer like at all.
I would rather have one good gaming partner to play Warzone than 100 players for WH 40K.
These will be my Chronicles of painting and gaming in the Warzone universe.
