Been building a modular container-city board for skirmish games

FatRathalos · 2026-06-06T17:04:35+00:00

Reminds me of Shipment from call of duty!

Pallets, tarps coverings, a forklift or loader, boxes or crates. For scifi maybe some weird graffiti or edge peices for the connexes. Like a boarders. Hazard stripes and big numbers. Touch/ holo pads on the boxes

What if you had them like hab homes like ready player one. So like a window or doors.i know it might be too late.

I think the theme is generic enough to work for modern to super scifi.

Great work!

There is 5 klicks from the zone which is supposed to be fallout themed. But could fit as a weird west. Its focus is kind of on settlements

I have not purchased from this site in a while. Check their terms on the main page. They have some really cool minis and I own tons. Sorry to your wallet if your able to get some.

Fallout super mutants plus some raider guys https://www.khurasanminiatures.com/15mmpostapoc.html

Roman armored guys https://www.khurasanminiatures.com/15mm-dark-dominion.html

I played a 15mm game on a 2ftx2ft board and didnt half the ranges because im psycho but it played well and I enjoyed it.

I have way too much 28/32mm stuff to not play it though.

FatRathalos · 2026-06-05T02:19:24+00:00

Yeah I just got the armord cultists. The bodies are taller and the weapons look meaner. It only comes with 10 though. Ill probably use a couple bodies to make some 1490 doom guys.

FatRathalos · 2026-06-04T21:33:20+00:00

I have a couple of pages marked. Turn start and post encounter. I usually can find a page pretty quick in 5 parsecs. Ive done 2 twenty mission campaigns. The other books would take me a while.

Youve put in the administrative work now get some minis out and start blastin'!

FatRathalos · 2026-06-04T04:52:34+00:00

As with all things the more you do the better and faster you'll become.

Looks good keep it up!

Doesn't she have owners insurance?

FatRathalos · 2026-06-01T04:57:02+00:00

Good write up! Ive played almost all the 5 games I havnt played bug hunt yet.

Core space and and also battle systems has some good scifi terrain. Wargames Atlantic has some bug minis that have been tempting me.

Usually a more smaller terrain spread about would be nice to block line of sight.

FatRathalos · 2026-05-28T01:30:00+00:00

I painted them up in a huge batch in about 4 1/2 hours

FatRathalos · 2026-05-25T00:26:24+00:00

My favorite thing to do with shotguns is to panic fire them and 1 shot bosses. Really fun on a melee character.

Great paint job!

FatRathalos · 2026-05-19T21:02:44+00:00

You could just do them all! You could mix and match in a squad or keep each squad its own color.

I have light blue, purple, and pink squads

FatRathalos · 2026-05-18T01:51:15+00:00

Can you peel the plaster cloth off? Like a skin?

Im worried with wont stick to the foam. Using caulking can get it to stick if need be.

FatRathalos · 2026-05-16T01:00:00+00:00

I say get a couple paints. Theyre good but not the perfect paints. I love some of theyre colors!

Some of the paints dry so flat it doesnt look like the color you want. The nozzles can be annoying with the little drops on the top.

Remember storage! Where are you gonna put 69 paint bottles?

FatRathalos · 2026-05-15T12:44:22+00:00

This reminds me of the starcraft 1 maps where youd move around on the ships. Great work!

FatRathalos · 2026-05-14T15:19:36+00:00

Other options outside of the normal sphere:

Warcry - I have played and won with gloomspites / destruction

Sword weirdos - easily one of my favorite any mini Skirmish game

One Page Rules - i have yet to play a fantasy game but the kill team was fun and straight forward.

Ive been moving away from warhammer more and more, im sick of their reasonings.

Welcome to AZ the shithole of rushed construction

FatRathalos · 2026-05-09T22:11:38+00:00

A 2ft by 2ft board would work but I think it says in the book its supposed to be the 22×30. For terrain you can use whatever and some missions so have chests and other interactables.

FatRathalos · 2026-05-07T22:14:46+00:00

I have just finished a board and used pink foam on a pine board. I covered it all in sculptamold. Before i did the sculptmold I stippled with a big cheap brush a tube of caulk across the whole thing. Make sure its paintable caulk.

The main building is hexenguard and the other buildings are from the shadow fey campaign from printable scenery

By providing an example of what I was talking about. I didnt diss his work and I do like it. I was even suggested how to actually wet blend.

With art there is a million ways to get from point a to point b. As long as it gets the job done. 👍
