Firefly/serenity
02/04/10 at 1:10pm
 
  Alright I am going to attempt to build a board game in heroquest fashion,based off of firefly.Not sure how long this will take me.
I have found perfect 28mm figures for the main crew.Also found excellent resources for the ship and floor plans.Just need to work on making them into a useable floor plan for the game.
I have 1" foam to use as a landscape for when the ship lands planet side.I'm thinking about  a year to a year and a half to finalize what I want.It will be 3-D like HQ using as many HQ props as possible(tables,cabinets...etc,etc)
I would also like to make some custom cards.

Who knows though I mean it only took me twenty years to paint my HQ figs so I guess we'll see...LOL

Any help would be welcomed if you have any other fig suggestions or possible input to add let me know.
I'm aware of the serenity RPG stuff as resources and will be picking some up.

I feel like the Uruk Hai from GW's LOTR game could be pretty solid Reavers.

i looked into playing the rpg a while back heres a few fan sites i found.
http://www.fireflywiki.org/ and http://test.fireflyrpg.com/ the second link is getting a facelift so some stuff dont work but it has custom ships made by fans with floor plans and other aids that are supposed to help with the rpg gameplay.

Wink Oh yes that's what started the whole idea.

Thanks for the web sites guys that helps out alot,Good call on the new reavers as well.
I found what will be great alliance troops,any random 28mm cowboys will do for your average joes and now I just need to find a few asian characters to round it out.

Here is some cool stuff at this site.The command section looks exactly like wash's control/bridge set up would need to get two of them.
A boarding weapons  storage unit.Crates and boxes and cargo/blast door for the cargo bay area.
http://www.barrule.com/workshop/sci-fi/products-scifi.htm
I think this has the makings of a great idea...LOL

I was also thinking of using HQ room colors and set ups as the deck floors for serenity.Not all obviously but as many as I could pull off.Alot will need to be check plated flooring.

Yes those are the mini's I'll be using for the main crew as well as the official inspectors for alliance officers.
Uruk hai from gw LOTR for reavers.

I'm quite happy this is shaping up nicely now I just need some serious cash to get the ball really rolling...LOL
For now I'm starting to scratch build a few western buildings for some town scenery and a firefly class space ship.

Something I will be adding to my verse.....



Little Damn Heroes!!!
http://www.hasslefreeminiatures.co.uk/range.php?range_id=25

That's right keeping in HQ tradition I'll be adding into my verse little damn heroes aka dwarfs.
Don't want to tread on the verse to much and add aliens and crap but dwarf's are a must.
I'll paint a couple up as alliance and a few wandering brown coats.

Okay so to get in the mood I was rewatching the tv series and the movie.So my problem is do I do a tv version of the ship or the movie?
Same exterior however the interiors vary greatly.

On a side note I noticed in the episode "the message" while kaylee is in her bunk listening to the tape over her shoulder is a han solo frozen in carbonite statue...LOL It's in the engine room scene in her hammock.

Anyway I have the ship plotted out and will be transferring it to Styrofoam insulation and paint it up.
