Title: Legions on Mars
Post by: Tesla knight on October 24, 2017, 05:09:56 PM
I’m a long time lurker with a story….

….and a plan.

Back when Spartan released the Dystopian Legions (DL) range I was quick to jump on board! I’ve always loved the VSF setting but had never gotten around to gaming in the genre. A few friends had joined me and between us we’d managed to cover the main five factions.

And then….nothing. We didn’t do anything with the stuff at all.

Some of the guys jumped off and sold their stuff on eBay but I resolutely held on to mine! In fact I got a second faction to ensure that I would have enough to field an entire game.

And then…nothing. It went cold and we all got distracted by other shiny stuff. This seems to happen a lot with wargamers ;-)

However ever since I saw the movie Laputa as a child the notion of airships and flyers has been rattling around in my noggin.  Suspect it was that which lead to me suggesting that we try putting Dystopian Legions on Mars. Something to lift it (pun intended) in our imaginations and set it apart from other games. With a cheerful consensus it was unanimously agreed that we would set DL on Mars and base our figures accordingly.

And then nothing. Well life does get in the way y’know.

 But after another year of the stuff staring at me from the Shelves of Holding I have become resolved to get this up and running. So my project running over the next year is to bring DL to the Red Planet!

But it couldn’t be that simple could it.

Nah.

We need aeronef, as we are referring to them, to get our explorations under way. So how do we go about getting aeronef? Well there are some out there to buy but… nah that’s too easy! We could scratch-build them but we will need multiples of some and that is somewhat of a chore.

It is at this point that I think my brain spazzed out and lead me to the conclusion that we should definitely get some made. Yup. Designing and having made some aeronef from scratch. Clearly easier than just knocking together some home-made ones.

I do wonder how my brain is wired at times.

But it appears to be working.

I had the good fortune to approach Blotz who have made the process very easy. If you’re not familiar with their stuff please do go and check their website out. Particularly under the VSF section!

With the remaining owners of DL in our group having the five main factions between us it transpired that they’d each need a design. One each? Nah. Two for each coz y’know, in for a penny!

So the first designs were intended for the Plucky Brits and they now have a gunboat and a launch to carry them to battle. Check them out on our group blog:

http://agogonline.blogspot.co.uk/ (http://agogonline.blogspot.co.uk/)

The process has been fun and I fully intend to press ahead with it to get all five factions into the sky.

After that we can begin to get everything painted and ready for some games. As a gamer of several decades it is pretty thrilling when you start something like this and the ideas start to flow.

I’m already being to suspect that a narrative campaign might be in order because…..

…who knows what the earth forces will find on Mars?

Anyway, expect updates over the next year as this starts to come together.

In the mean time I need to work out how to post piccies here. Hmmm.

I call 'stupid', as I just couldn't find those, or a VSF section, either on the site or in the downloadable catalog.

However, I may have SLIGHTLY redeemed myself by searching for 'VSF', and the two lovelies appeared.

Having recently purchased a few Martian skiffs in MDF, I should think a Launch or two is in order, though I'd originally thought of using the 28mm as large 15mm.

Thanks so much!

Doug

As in where to store, or how to add piccies you already have posted elsewhere on the net? In the former, you can use 'gallery', sparingly, though that may require sponsoring membership. Not sure.

If the latter, when you edit a post, there are a number of icons above the emoticon faces. The second(?) one over should look like a picture in frame. Click on it, and you get the code to put your image's URL.

Or, paste the URL, highlight, and pressing the button surrounds the URL with the code.

I think it's easy peasey, and see first statement of post.

I got a chance to add some extra detail at the weekend.

Using my trusty rivet makers....

Ready for spraying and painting now.

Got some painting done over the last week.

Firstly the Oxford Class Patrol Skyship.

(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UC6xbVzOcKI/WgsUAL8cjqI/AAAAAAAABqw/r83JhCjmyaI6SWSkcl10aIdrdSOOPKgFQCLcBGAs/s320/OC1.JPG)

I've left the gun deck clear so I can just add whatever armaments are required at the time of gaming.

(https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PhEPPNkFPP0/WgsUAJqkIaI/AAAAAAAABq0/c9IVHAiV-k4gYxwGmGGIagcY2xMuoC1RACEwYBhgL/s320/L1.JPG)

I still need to do the basing but I've not worked out quite how I want to do that for this project. I'm also going to have a look around for any suitable decals to add the final touches.

I also got the Tesla Guns painted.

(https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-E0ACgJto7j4/WgXWtOHG4JI/AAAAAAAABqY/Ncl8Sfy4Zi0_lxwNBSy99qQ6hfC-x3oqwCLcBGAs/s320/Tesla%2Bguns%2B2.JPG)

That's two of the designs all done. The first US/FSA one is also now on the Blotz site:-

The deck gun that goes with it:-

http://blotz.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1462 (http://blotz.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1462)

I should be at the Warfare show at Rivermead in Reading this weekend so I'll be picking up the steamer then! Hopefully Blotz might have some more finished by then as well.

Sooo....ship number three has been released now!

I was expecting this process to be quite a long one but three of the ten designs have already become kits and the next three designs are already with Blotz.

This one is for the FSA US style faction and I wanted it to have a strong flavour of that. The wheel is obviously lifted from the paddle steamers however, not obvious from the photo due to its absence, is the gun turret styled after the American civil war monitor ironclad. It is also the reason the railings don't continue all the way.

(https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SV2_0VQKJTg/WhgqmczaUOI/AAAAAAAABrQ/60LPTtOPnA8tuA9SURSQ6RDsN8921GyBACLcBGAs/s320/Paddles1.JPG)

I'm pleased with the deck space although a fair bit will be lost to the turret when that is added.

(https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Cjrp-aM2mno/WhgqqGfnSNI/AAAAAAAABrY/LYuhEQLEVCk0XaiFQGD2qkSc9s3_vI6BQCEwYBhgL/s320/Paddles3.JPG)

I'm planning to paint this a sort of military green. I realise that is eariler than the US introduced OD green but I want them to have colour and be fairly striking.

I'm also tempted by white star decals. Thoughts on those?

I finally got round to adding the turret to my Monitor. I think I'll add a few rivets around the top and base plate.

Also done is the paddle tug boat. I'm quite pleased how this one has turned out. Dinky!

I'm still unsure what to do about adding markings. White would look the most striking but what to do? Tail numbers? US style white stars or will that modernise them too much.

Decisions! Decisions!

The tail paint helps, but some banner/signals would not go amiss. :D

Perhaps some verticals and horizontals, the latter to signal the ground... ;)

Thanks guys

I'm pleased with how this is progressing at the moment. Early doors still as there are six more Nefs to come.

In the words of Eddie Izzard: "Do you have ...a flag"

I'm sensing some love for the flags here but in truth they are the sort of thing I prefer to have as an add on. I get eye twitch at the thought of snap off parts and so things like flags tend to be separate. It also means the ships can be.....piratical! if I so choose.  :)

"Verticals and Horizontals" I'm not sure I know what you mean Mr Beast. Are you referring to undercarriage markings?

Sorry, referring to poles or lines for signals. I suddenly imagined a line of pennants stretched from the sides.

This project hasn't seen a lot of love from me lately as I've allowed myself to be distracted with designing MDF scenery for other games but I've not forgotten it!!

Whilst the Aeronef side is plodding along I've had some thoughts on scenery and ordered a bundle of aquarium plants from China in the hope they would be good as Martian foliage.

Looked at the images, and harsh language proceeded from my mouth.

Hope you're happy.

I've allowed myself to get distracted by non VSF projects lately but this hasn't been forgotten!

I don't have a Martian gaming mat and balked at spending a lot for the albeit lovely mats currently available. So I've gotten a nice big sheet of tan/brown felt with the intention of doing my own but I just need to work out how to paint it.

I've done a few testers with varying success and shall do a few more before I commit.

Buck Surdu of GASLIGHT fame has asked on TMP how they do on the table, particularly as to stable with figs and when moved. Tippy?

Love the Nefs... can we see some pics with figures on?

As you asked!

These are 32mm Dystopian Legion figures.

I don't think so as I went for pretty big bases and these could be supplemented with some rocks to weigh them down a bit more.

These look great. Did you ever get a game in with the airships?

I’d never thought much about the VSF genre but these are real works of
art.
