The woman makes sense as Lara Croft. I need to order another pack I think, but need to make shipping worth it.

A good selection of pieces, I’m sure they will turn into something very interesting for the 2nd independence war!

Lots of cool looking stuff!

For some reason the blue and orange thingies in the middle at the back intrigue me.

Going to look sweet when it’s all finished.

Cheers,

Stroezie.

It is nice to get projects moving along. Most of this crap has just been sitting around for months. Soon it will make it into the box of completed terrain.

The blue and orange things are McDonald’s toys. They shoot angry birds at objects I have since thrown away. I textured the front to hide the catapult design and hope to turn them into planetary defence cannon.

Some new terrain, finished to a level I am happy to leave it alone. I may add some flock at some point. These are featuring in my up coming campaign.

I just wanted to get them done. Today I bought a sheet of sand coloured felt so I can have action in a desert environment. I was inspired by the book Where’s the Wookiee 2, %0 the Niima Outpost page. It is where Rey trades in her stuff. I feel like some of my stories will take place in areas like that.

Cool beans, I was thinking some 6mm desert buildings for my Off World section early next year too.

Another evening, another shakedown.

I got a sand coloured piece of felt. I almost feel like that is my desert board complete.

They’re awesome. Going to have to check out that Star Wars Legacy comic.

Regarding the dilemma you mentioned in your blog post, about whether to turn your universe into Star Wars or redefine your not-Imperial Knights as something else, I hope you’ll go for the latter. I don’t have any ideas right now but I’d be interested to see what kind of identity and backstory you’d come up with for them. That’s what the fun of world-building is all about

Looks a lot like Imperial Guard, or if you just saw ep VIII, Snoke’s Guards.

Nice work in either case!

They are Star Wars of course, but yes the Legacy comics Imperial knights. These force users who are neither light or dark and just use the force to protect Emperor Fel.

As for just doing star wars, you are right. I am going to create something in my own universe. I just need to think about what it is exactly.

Nice! So begs the question: are they alien in origin, or old human ruins?

and who is the guy on the left I wonder? Hostile? Friendly? Is he some how linked to the ruins?

Here we have my new purchase: Fake grass mats from Lidl. 1×2 metres and they look great. Shape is a little awkward, but will do. Big improvement over my felt.

Finished these gorgeous offerings from Brigade Models that I got for Christmas. I was in two minds about getting these Rhino tanks, but in the end LOVE them.

Very nice color scheme, the contrast works very well.

Where are the infantry from? They look like the same sculptor as Brigade Model’s Pacfed but I don’t see these on the site.

Thanks, I wasn’t sure about the colours at first but they grew on me. The infantry actually are from Brigade. They are the South African infantry.

I’ll admit I was on the fence about those models when I saw them on brigades site, but they look smashing with your paintjob on them!

The Rhino tanks are very nice vehicles, they manage to look both retro and futuristic at the same time.

I just don’t know how I feel about wheeled tanks. Armoured cars, sure. Specialist vehicles, sure. But tanks? Large road wheels on a tank just seem counter intuitive. After all, tracked vehicles were designed specifically to be more all terrain friendly.

You could always use the excuse that those are the Airborne Raid/Rapid Reaction/Humanitarian Intervention Force, they needed lighter equipment than fully tracked options. The boonie infantry actually fits the lightweight deployment argument, the Rhino’s low profile also looks like it’ll fit nicely in transports with low headspace, to scale they’ll probably fit in a C-130.

I’ve been looking for infantry in boonie for so long, now that I’ve found them all my 6mm scifi plans are shot.

Thanks for the input. I will consider that as an option in the future. I am glad I could help ruin your plans.

Those bush hat Brigade infantry look good. Never was very keen on their generic infantry. But these do fit the bill.

I played a fair few games of mass SF armour games, back along. Used a lot of Brigade tanks, especially the Rhino and the Ratel. Found them good models at a reasonable price.

Don’t mind a bit of wheeled stuff, I like to mix things up a bit. But yeah, tracks are the way to go for off road.

Whats that tank? I think I’ve seen the model somewhere, but can’t place it.

Those tanks are CinC miniatures. Called something like M4 Destroyers or something. They are stunning. The shape of the turret just screams sci fi.
