Eden - Part 1




In the year 2260, the Earth has changed its face.  Ravaged by wars to human and environmental apocalyptic consequences .  Amid the ruins, haggard survivors struggle to try to rebuild a new world; 


Eden



Eden is a great little skirmish level game that uses just a handful of figures per side.  A normal game seeing between 3-6 figures per player depending on how weak or powerful each character you pick is.  We have been finding that most of our games fall in at around the 4-5 figures each mark.
The available starter sets for Eden are a good place to start and each appears to hold a complete 100 point force.   The game suggests normal games being 100 points so straight away you have a fully playable force.  
From the starter sets we have tried they all seem to be completely competitive with no redundant figures that you would rather not have.

The game also plays on a very small table.  Less than 2' square so ideal for a normal dining table.  
Anyway, I'm not reviewing the game here, there are plenty of other people with far  better game reviewing skills then me so I will leave it to them.

On with the Painting.


So my favourite faction in the game is;


Bamaka

A few of the blister packs 


and with the added Starter set added.  Although it's an older version of the starter set.



Next is

ISC

Original starter set with the addition of a Carmin Samurai. (The figure with the red face) 


and a few extras


and the group shot



Finally for now is some

Horde





And a group shot


The Horde are a little different to the rest of the factions in that not only can they be used as a playable faction, they can also be used as non-player fighters that inhabit the battlefield and attack anyone that goes near them.

I have also been working on some terrain.  Now the game is really set in Europe but there is nothing stopping you adapting any game to match the terrain you have available.  In this instance the damaged resin cars I had from the Mars Attacks Kickstarter looked ideal.  They seem to have a more American look to them then European so I painted them with a New York City feel.  Or at least how I image NYC cars to look.






And to finish off this little update a few pictures to set the mood for the game.



There will definitely be more Eden coming from me in the future.
