Conversions from that other scifi game?

[turtle]

Anyone mind if I post some conversions of that other big scifi game to the AE-WW2 (and future Bounty) rules?

I'm having trouble getting new players to play because they're pretty ingrained with that company and style of game, which is a pity since I really prefer the more elegant rules in the AE series.

I'll probably start with the Star Knights, Space Elves, Fungus Brutes, and Exoaliens.

[Darkson]

Have fun and make sure you post em.

[Cilionelle]

What about Spruce Maroons, Alder, Ochs (Scottish version...) and Tired Nits?

[evernevermore(john)]

Well turtle your doing exactly what I'll be doing - Ive got some nicely converted GW minis that have been begging for a good system. Now I just need to get the rules

Some early work for the Fungus Brutes.

More updates, a few things changed. Added Wimps, Rocket Brutes, Brute Walkers, a few new weapons.

Still trying to figure out a good way to handle lots of little ability/equipment options. Also, these haven't been playtested at all, I need to finish up a list for Interstellar Knights to have something to play against.

Looks good, I have a friend with that army and I'll run the Brutes against them soon. Still need to finish up Stellar Knights, but since the project I'm on is over I now have more time to work on this.

I forgot to include the rules for the Jump Jets ability, so here it is.

Jump Jets
Once each turn, the model may spend 2 AP to make a double move in one direction. This move ignores all intervening terrain, including models, but may not be used to enter or leave buildings.
