    Absolutely!

    My latest work on my Armoured Clash Crown force has been to partially-scratchbuild one of the unit entries - a Mordred Heavy Siege Gun:

    Reason being that Crown particularly like their Artillery units, and there are only enough parts in the Introductory Set to make two of one variant - the Mordred or the Bors Heavy Bombard. The Bombard I felt was easier to build using the full array of official parts, so I decided to make a scratch chassis for the Mordred parts left over (the large ornate shield and the Siege Gun itself... plus some flagpoles trimmed down to make the frontal supports for the gun), in order to ultimately allow me to field a Basic unit of each Artillery piece in my starting force. The rest is all either plasticard, bits of old sprue spliced together and filled in with Green Stuff, or, in the case of the wheels, little boxwood ship's wheels made by an Italian company for making scale model naval vessels, with the handholds snipped off.

    For reference, a size comparison with the chassis parts from the official sprues, being used to make a Bors (with the latter not having its wheels or railings added yet):

    It's coming on nicely I find... still have to think of what to use as similar-looking railings along the edges of the Mordred, and source the crew, but it's certainly progressing.

    With the starter sets and first two Regiment boxes now out for every faction in Armoured Clash, future releases are looking interesting - recently Miniature Wargames here in Britain released an issue with a free new Imperium sprue not yet out in retail, designed, I believe, to fix some minor issues in the Imperium ORBAT army list, with some alternative poses for their Teutonic Knights including a Commander, and a Teutonic variant of the Panzerwagen transport:

    And some new units teased for Commonwealth, Enlightened, Union and particularly Crown:

    I'm really looking forward to picking up at least one (or even two, one of each configuration :D) of that Super-Heavy Tank for Crown...
