Ride eternal - Doof warrior and friends for Gaslands 20/11
« on: November 17, 2019, 02:42:15 PM »
Hey guys!

Being such a North Star fanboy I picked up Gaslands Reloaded, tokens and plastic sprues from them when they released. Had been eyeing the game for a while anyway as I'm a big Fury Road fan.

Been tinkering with cars, struggling a little with the scale and with mechanical parts. I'm so much more comfortable converting organic material compared to the impressive plasticard bashing I see people do on the internet.

Either way, here's a photo of one of my first cars. Hot Wheels monster truck with North Star bits and plasticard.



What do you think?

Very cool

Creating Gaslands cars is fun!

Nice looking truck.  I too picked up the new release but have not had a chance to experiment with all the spare parts. Torn between building random cool cars and waiting until I play a few games to see what works.

Build cool cars.

A lot of the weapons are fairly generic, it might be an LMG, and HMG or a mini gun - depending on what a person thinks a certain weapon looks like.

I built a couple of cool cars, played a couple of games, and built a couple more.

Sure, you can optimize in this game, but you never really know what's going to happen.

Today my heavy truck with flame thrower got to shoot zero times because it lead the race until it blew up.

Speaking of cool cars, here are some more of my builds. I've been aiming for 50 point teams in order to demo/lend out at my club and we've got several people interested in the game now.

There are not a ton of companies making resin bits for this scale, but I did find the amplifiers eventually. The doof warrior I got from a shop on Etsy.

What a fun collection of car craziness.  I need to see what I can scrounge from the kids...
