Lockdown Day 55

Hi!

Here's the latest additions to my painted stuff!

Furst up, here's another Black Tribe robot:

Armed with a scrap blaster and grubby hand, this is a more versatile robot than his two brethren as he can shoot and salvage. Scrap Blasters tend to explode though as they are shoddily made so it makes for an interesting experience playing with these little chaps!

Next up, here's another True Atronian for my War of Ashes Shieldbash project:

This is an official Zombiesmith sculpt and gives my True Atronians some ranged firepower. Sadly I can't seem to get a decent photo of her but her keen eye and bow will give my all girl warband some long range defence against lurking Kuld!

Next up, I've been playing about with a bit of SD scale Battletech sculpting and here's my first completed piece, the Hunter Light Tank:

I went for super simple style as I don't have any interest in spending hours sculpting but would prefer to get them built and painted so I can play some games. It's turned out rather blocky but should fit in with my Mechs once I have them done!

Here's the progress I've made on my mechs:

Currently I've just got the basics of body and legs on them but a couple more sessions should have them finished and ready to paint. Again I've gone for very stylised and simple sculpts but they should do the trick for my own purposes.

While I'm cracking on with the sculpting, I've been playing around with paper standees to allow me to play around with some games of Battletech Alphastrike:

Wilson's Hussars Recon Lance

While not as exciting as miniatures, they are quick and easy to put together and it allows me to sort out a lance of Mechs in next to no time which has been fun and I've even managed to play a third game of Alphastrike with the Hussars managing to pull out a win in their ongoing dust up with the pirates.

Pirate Lance

While I am using the basic and intermediate rules of Alphastrike, it's been quite a lot of fun and I'm going to add some reinforcements for both sides and will try and post a bit of a battle report over the next couple of days.

I'm thinking of using this approach to allow me to play out some other games too, namely Vor: The Maelstrom as I think it would be an interesting approach to trial games and rules without spending the pennies!

Hopefully I'll have lots more gubbins to post up in the next day or so so watch this space!

In the meantime, All the best!
