Alpha Strike - A few 3D printed Buildings 2


          Another set of buildings based on a design by Shiaic on Thingverse named "Modern Residential Building - 6mm". As before I enlarged, hollowed, and edited it so it can be printed in a Anycubic. There are five designs: base, base with less details, 2X base with less details, a long topper and a short topper. The short topper will only fit on base design with less details, both toppers may be used as stand alone buildings. The STLs can be found in the Thingverse group named mechwarrior and all things mech.

Gaslands - Arena Walls

 

 

         Been playing Gaslands as arena events more akin to the car wars setting than in the wastelands. With each player having a team of vehicles, that can be swapped out or bought in (respawned) if the event allows. 
          For arena walls we are using pre-cut wooden blocks from a box set; that are spray painted and advertisements glued on. The blocks allow for different layouts depending on the specific event and pack easily in a box.

Alpha Strike - A few 3D printed Buildings

 


          Printed up some buildings that I enlarged, hollowed, and edited a little to make them fit in the Anycubic printer. They are not to any real scale, but I tried to make all the doors the same height. I am also trying to stay away from any overly detailed buildings, since they will no survive very long in the terrain box. No fancy painting just spray can and blacked out windows. 
          The STLs can be found in the Thingverse group named mechwarrior and all things mech. Will have some more buildings in a week or so.

15mm DBA/HOTT - Teutonic Orders IV/30



     My take on aTeutonic Order army using Black Hat miniatures from their 15mm feudal range. Since the army represents an organized force, I kept the overall paint scheme thru out. I have enough stands for two DBA armies, thanks to a defunct feudal DBMM army. The horde stand is based as a fast horde mainly just to save on figures For the fantasy variant I added a Hero stand, I was thinking of also adding a cleric but it just does not seem right. 

          DBA 3.0                                                      
          General                                 1x3Kn(Gen)

15mm DBA/HOTT - ORC (EIR stand in)


          One of my Orc armies is based on the Early Imperial Rome army list II/56, with a bow swap (4Bw to 3Bw) . Why base it on EIR list. Mainly so I could use it as a DBA army in a pinch, also I like that it has a lot of unit options. I am still looking for suitable artillery model for the army. The stands are all composed of Metal Magic Miniatures. 

          DBA 3.0                                                      
          General                                1x3Cav or 4Bd(Gen)

          Warriors                                4x4Bd 
          Lesser Warriors                    3x4Ax                
          Option A                               1x3Cv or 4Ax or 3Bw or Ps                
          Option B                               1xLH or Ps or 3Bd
          Option C                               1xLH or Art 
          For the HOTT version added a Hero, Magician, and a 3Bd.

          D3H2                                                      
          General                                1         3Cv or 4Bd    2AP

Alpha Strike - Easy kitbash Marksman M1


          I have been looking for vehicles (chassis) that are reasonably in scale and can be easily modified to fit the general theme of a vehicle. Recently I picked up a couple of Hotwheel UNSC Scorpion tanks at the local grocery store for four dollars each. I cannot tell what scale it is, other than Hotwheel scale. Used two magnets to attach the turret and a hole punch to make a disc to cover the hole where the mg turret was. Its nothing complicated, but it looks more like the 95 ton tank that it should be.

Alpha Strike - Kitbash Wasp Battlemech 2


Valkyrie (30t), Wasp (20t)

          Finally got around to casting up the Wasp model. Just not really happy with the head, but it will due for now. 

Looking at the WK Wasp; I have decided to use it as a 30 ton Valkyrie. Its close enough.
