Dusty old roads

Made a bunch of 15mm roads, mainly to be used for WWII but will also work for my Neo Soviets slugging it out on Ukrania XIIV. The plan is to get a Chain of Command 15mm Barbarossa campaign  rolling...

The right to bear arms.

Finished the first squad for my Neo Soviets as well as some concepts for the elite units. Red Bears and Red Guards in exo suits.

Oil rigs and tanks

More cheap scratch built terrain, the rigs are made using plastic card and a rod. The tanks are corn cans turned up side down.

Wind generator

Finished the generator for my Shanty Town, already a classic sniper hideout! 

More painted Mad Mecha Guy

Here are some of stuff I got from MadMechaGuy. Im really satisfied with it all, both from a price perspective and with how they turned out as well. The posters were just printed and glued on using PVA before weathering.

Interstellar Foreign Legion Commander

Been toying around with a  few ideas for a Gruntz Commander for my IFL. The most appealing concept so far has been a flag waving commander inspiring his troops to great success or at least a heroic death, but not so much a fighter himself.

The miniature is from Khurasans IFL range. The banner pole is just a needle, and the flag is soaked in PVA and then shaped as if moving with the wind.

Test models for Neo Soviets

First two test models for my Neo Soviets for Gruntz. Pretty happy with them, but considering one more highlight on the green. Been painting alot of WWII for 15mm and have gotten really bored with all the dull colors. So I didn't go for the classic russian green, need some "pop" in these miniatures. Next to the soviets are an IFL trooper from Khurasan for size.

Back on track

Life happened, what else can you say...

Here are the first attempts at some elevated terrain, early WIPs at this stage but you can imagine how they will look. A windmill and two drilling rigs on the way.

And some barricades/rubble Ive thrown together for the shanty town.

Gruntz

Im sure some or most of you might be familiar with the Gruntz rules, or at least heard of them. 15mm SciFi skirmish rules for about 30-40 models a side. Just had our first battle and enjoyed it a lot. As with all new systems it took a while, about 7 hours including beer, pizza and some non gaming related talk as well. Im sure we will get our speed up for the next few battles, estimated playtime in the rules are about 2 hours.

Great fun to try out the new terrain as well, always a pleasure when you get to play with your newly made projects. Didn't have much of a senario for this, just tried the "kill the other guys" senario between my Khurasan Interstellar Foreign Legion (IFL) versus a friends army with a mix of Critical Mass Games and Ground Zero Games miniatues.

The battle was a tie 107pts to 108pts and great fun. Really enjoy how open the Gruntz rules are, Im sure we will spend a lot of time using them and pushing to soldiers around.

Welcome to the jungle!

 So, every table need some vegetation, be it just a few trees or a whole table coved by dense jungle.  I wanted to create some colorful terrain pieces for the shanty town, so that I cold represent an of world settlement as well as a more near future sci fi like District 9.

Best way to add some color to the terrain is plast plants, got two flowers from the local "cheap junk store" for about €1. And a branch of some kind of plastic bush from Hornbach costing about €5.

Take each layer from the flower and glue it to a small metal disc. Once dry cut of the end, and apply preferred basing materials to the disc.

About the same process with the rest of the vegetation.

Mix it up on the table and you have a nice piece out colorful jungle terrain to explore.

Water Silos

Found a bit tube that just begged to be used for terrain, so here's two water silos for the shanty town inhabitants.
