I've always had a soft spot for
Stargate, the film and the spin off TV series and over the last few months I have been watching
SG-1 in order having taped them all on my Sky Box on one of
Sky's regular repeats. I've just started on the tenth and final season and my mind is pondering some skirmish games...

I always thought the the background had a lot more potential beyond what we saw on the TV, especially the historical/mythical parallels so I had a delve into
Lead Mountain (re)discovering the old
Monolith Designs resin Stargate, some OOP
Eureka Sci-Fi Egyptians and a few packs on
Phoenix Icons official figures including a DHD (which I forgot to buy from
Monolith).
A great excuse to pit some modern figures against those from other time periods providing proxies for troops from human 'seeded' alien worlds at different levels of technology and industrialisation, or more advanced SF troops. Could be fun, just need to find the right rule set...
Looks great!
ReplyDeleteI've got the Hasslefree not Stargate figures on my painting table with no idea what to do with them at present, so will watch this!
