More Sci-Fi City Estate

 

I've been making a a push to get my Sci-Fi City towards a place of "completion", as in finish the buildings and scenics I already have (which is more than enough to fill a table to be fair). The last two brick and prefab concrete stragglers have been done now.

Future Fonts

 

A quick pointer\reference post, partially for myself.

I always have issues with fonts for signs, banners, etc for Sci-Fi Terrain, but I've come across the perfect site with loads of free cool fonts at dafont.com.

Many look ideal. I did a test install to my Windows 11 PC and it worked perfectly in GIMP. Simple.

Should be useful.

Advertisement Break

 

Something I've been wanting to do since starting my future city is to have some sort of video advertising board as part of the scenery. It has become a common enough sight in real life but is of course an iconic look for the Cyberpunk City of the future.

A couple more buildings finished off for the Big Future City.

More Completed Real Estate

 

Two more buildings for my future city have been finished off.

Building WIP

 A quick WIP post.

After being away on Holiday to the lovely North Wales coast, this last week hasn't seen me n the mood for painting, but I have been doing some easier focus work in the hobby shed in the form of putting together some mdf buildings that have been sitting around for a while.

Oh Bollards!

 

OK, not really bollards, "Oh Arrest Points" doesn't have the same ring to it.

I've been a bit quite here as I've been making a bit of a push on my Sci-Fi City for Judge Dredd (and other games of course) and the buildings are a bit difficult to document. But here as a bit of street furniture I have 3D printed some arrest points (from Hayland Terrain here.) that were on a Humble Bundle I purchased a while ago. 

The designs contain an arrest post and a block of shackle points, all containing activation lights. As designed they are actually a bit bigger than I printed them, but all the pictures I think of from 2000AD have the perps sitting on the ground with their hands bound at an awkward height, so this size seemed to fit the bill.

Broken Realms of Hell Complete

 

The boards for "Reign in Hell" are complete (or as complete as they are likely to be!).

Broken Realms of Hell (pt 1)

There's a new skirmish game in town called "Reign in Hell" where warbands (or Cabals) of demons battle each other. It looks great fun with some interesting mechanics - never mind the thought of all the cool models that can be put on the table!

Last year  an incomplete set of Games Workshop's "Broken Realms" battle boards dropped into my lap. The basic boards looked nice, but the other two special boards are very stylised so I hadn't done anything with them - until now. They will make great boards for this new game.

They've been attacked by a series of spray cans. Halfords Grey primer to base and Halford Camo brown, Humbrol brown and a cheap black primer to darken around the ground cracks. All very quick and easy. Just the GW skulls to deal with in the future.

Future City Foundations

With the Judge Dredd starter figures painted I'm needing a Mega City table to play them on.

I managed to pick up a box of TT Combat prototype buildings from an eBay job lot for a great price, so that's where we'll start! 

It's going to be a bit of a long haul so I've spray primed all the buildings grey (with a dash of white) so they can be played and I'll address each part desperately as I go along.

More as I progress...

15mm Resin Fantasy Buildings

I've managed to finish painting my small collection of 15mm Fantasy buildings, so thought I'd put up a few set up pictures!

15mm Walls

Not the most exciting subject matter, but I thought I'd show my painting of TT Combat's 15mm mdf walls. Pretty solid with an easy paint job. The only extra might be a light spray of a textured spray paint to avoid the "long and flat" mdf  surface.

Height wise they are well set for figures shooting over. They are obviously pretty durable being mdf as well!

15mm Fantasy Ruins Complete

With a few other non-gaming projects getting in the way it has taken a while to get these ruins completed, but finally they are.

Barbarian Warlord Hut

 Spare time is still a rare thing, but I've managed to add to my Barbarian scenery with this lovely solid resin Chieftain's hut from Templar Wargames. An obvious skull adorned front entrance and a more sneaky side windows\exit. Nice and easy to paint, with wood detailing for quick dry brushing.

As a note, the two guards in the picture are an Old Heroquest Barbarian and an out of focus Barbarian from Four A Miniatures.

A Change is as Good as a Rest: pt1

I've still been struggling to get on with painting for the last whole, so I've decided to do something else for a bit. I'd found some printouts that had been put to the side of David Graffam's Wizard's House and Hovel designs and put to work getting them constructed. So far so simple.

Mushroom Canopies

More of a heads up than a proper post. In the UK discount store B&M has large "rustic mushrooms" in stock in their seasonal section for a meagre £3.99. Made of resin and prepainted, all they really need is a bit attention to the base, which looks a bit too hard. The example above is straight out of the shop. Ideal for those of us who want to adventure in a fantasy Forrest.

2017 Barbarians Finished - part 2

 And now for the terrain part of the 2017 project. First up we have a lovely Ainsty Castings Stone Circle set.

No Paint City Construction

Update on my new pieces for a Wild West town. After showing you the Mine Wheelhouse building  I became a bit enthusiastic and ordered up the Burlesque and Shacks kits from TT Combat as well, but more of those later.

Infinity Neon Lotus Scenery Pack

With Rogue Stars coming out in December my thoughts have part wandered towards Sci-fi gaming. For the game I have enough painted figures to put together a force or two, but terrain was slightly different. I wanted a change from the Industrial\Necromunda style and was presuming that the clean Infinity look was where I'd bee heading until someone on the Rogue Stars Facebook page shared the Infinity Neon Lotus Scenery Pack. For me this tied into the oriental feel that Blade Runner cultured and I knew it was a must buy. Especially as it costs around £8. And with Christmas conveniently approaching, well you can guess the rest!
