I think I had more fun with these than 40k. Added house rules for exploding mushrooms , the creature under the sand and canal boats shipping arms to the redemption. It all seemed more fun when you were not restricted by official rules with figures which had to be correctEddy Strangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01027778493622700287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-624716623905521990.post-7271378144514829712019-06-20T20:54:06.481+01:002019-06-20T20:54:06.481+01:00I still love these rules it must be my comic book ...I still love these rules it must be my comic book gene, every once in a while I want to pull them out and put a game on.

The anti-vehicle rules are mine. <br />In recent years being playing a sci-variant of FUBAR which is quick and bloody like IC (and Beamstrike) :) Lots of 15mm sci-fi stuff on my blog. I've put a link from mine to to yours.<br />Kind regards<br />IanVulturehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00759930564552310327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-624716623905521990.post-65350520350784171362016-04-10T11:02:09.777+01:002016-04-10T11:02:09.777+01:00Heh, I remember the fag packets.

They really should have done better here as they are for their<br />time an excellent set of rules!

I loved playing IC but only had enough pocket money for a handful of imperial troops and redemptionists including a single trike, which was my favorite. It works really well as a small scale skirmish game with about a dozen figures a side.Jim Jackamanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00418123950779160903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-624716623905521990.post-86339805232036060752016-04-04T12:20:49.933+01:002016-04-04T12:20:49.933+01:00This was a great rule set in its day.

It has a lot in common with 40K and with the Inquisitor rule set, though to be honest it is so overly detailed that it seems rather clumsy now and involves too much calculation. <br /><br />The fluff, equipment and weapons lists are the obvious ancestors of the 40K ruleset.Knight of Infinite Resignationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02680099835726778306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-624716623905521990.post-85865106706858711552016-04-04T07:16:03.128+01:002016-04-04T07:16:03.128+01:00Interesting Stuart- I did have the same Lazerburn ...Interesting Stuart- I did have the same Lazerburn Rules back in the 80s and an assortment of Hero type characters in 25mm which I painted up - but, no one to game with - so I just set about designing jet-vehicles for the figures- little two seaters with doors.
