THE WORLD OF GKR

The story goes like this...Big plague. People died. Governments fell over. Things got bad, real fast. Fortunately, the corporations saved the day! Under their command, things got a whole lot better. But what to do with all those abandoned cites? There’s money to be made in the salvage rights. But which corporation gets them? Enter the Giant Killer Robots League.”

The King Wolf himself - a true big model, it stands 14cm tall!

I really like the game. It combines miniatures with a customisable card game, some dice rolls and a nice 3D gaming board. The big Robots are pre painted, while the support Bots come unpainted but slightly washed to give the detailed features a more defined look. Of course none of this was enough for me, so time for a repaint.

Basically I sticked to the officially colours, only the Orange of the King Wolf corporation is a bit lighter. For the base I tried hard to mimic the look of the game board. The official decals also helped!
