Thanks again  :)

We use a modified version of Muskets and Tomahawks for the larger battles and a slightly modified version of Fistful of Lead: Galactic Heroes for the smaller skirmish games.


Out of interest, what mods did you need for M&T?

Very nice watch tower! Are the guns from HLBS?
Also love the colour scheme of the Steam Vehicle.

Can’t remember, Mark will have to interject as he’s the rules sponge.

Are the guns from HLBS?

They are (great little range) and he’s still doing them. They disappeared from the new website but they’ll be up again at some point.

Where Did The Hatch come from?

It’s a cast from a master I’ve done. I’ve got a few other VSF goodies to finish off then they’ll be released.

I got my stanchions this morning and they’re now in place along with a proper flag  :D


cheers

All looking rather lovely. Can't wait to see it in action. ;D

Those guns are in a shocking state! You better get a Master Chief in there to crack heads and wire brush that rust away!

Yet again you Earthers look down on us locals.

Well, maybe not on the High Martians.  I wonder how much those guns elevate?  Really not a lot of overhead cover there either.  :)

Wise choice there.  Much healthier than Pringles, and sturdier to boot.

Lovely work.

I shoulda guessed, I suppose.
Although I would have thought a pint was too small.
Maybe it should be known as a 'short tower'.

That is a bit good  8)

Stanchions certainly are the final flourish  :-*

Nice hatch and door by the way  8)

Thanks gents  :)

God, you sound like a broken record  ::)

Those guns are in a shocking state! You better get a Master Chief in there to crack heads and wire brush that rust away!

Doesn’t do any good, the Martian atmosphere plays havoc with any metal  ;D

I wonder how much those guns elevate?  Really not a lot of overhead cover there either.  :)

They’ll elevate enough (we don’t use high flight stands  lol). Thought about a cover and might still do one but it’s fine for games now  :)

 ;D

Any taller and storage becomes a problem (like it isn’t already lol).

Hopefully something else to show later this week  :)
