Land Ironclad WIP - UPDATE
« on: September 17, 2008, 06:00:40 AM »
So, I have decided to try my hand at building my own Land Ironclads to go with the wonderful new game from Wessex Games. Feel free to take a peak over at my blog...

I See Lead People http://leadpeople.blogspot.com/

It is still a WIP but I think it is coming along nicely, especially seeing as I am doing this on the fly with little planning ahead. Sometimes it's fun to model on the fly.

Hope you enjoy.

Thanks,

Ah! Land Ironclads! A fine game indeed! No doubt you've seen my LI battle report, I do like the game...

Your Ironclad looks very interesting indeed. Can't wait to see it finished.

Are you going to buy any infantry/guns etc?
I told you so. You damned fools.

Thanks for the feedback.

Yes, I did mean "Land Ironclads". I love the minis that Brigade is producing, but I also love crafting my own, so I dove into some of the bits I had.

42, your spokey wheeled land cruiser, plus a few others I have seen, were the inspiration for my design. I do plan on buying some more troops as time goes on, but I do have a lot to draw from already.

I have some infantry blocks in 2mm as well as some skirmishers in 2mm. Add to this some old 6mm power armor suits that are going to get a new life as contraptions as well as some 6mm armored sci-fi infantry that bear a strong resemblence to the steam suits from "Steam Boy" and I have the makings of a nifty starter force.

I am curious what minis you were using for your Impervious Suit infantry? Are those simply blocked infantry columns painted in metalic colors?

Thanks,

Glad you liked them! though I must confess that I only own the Tripods, the rest belongs to a good friend of mine (he's on here, "Mr.Marx" I think..)

The Infantry is indeed simply 3mm painted in metalic colours. At that scale, you can't tell the difference!

Now they are cool! And really, really big...
We don't add any specific country markings to our Land Ironclads; it means you can use them for any scenario.

Are they that big? I had no miniatures to draw reference from. I have so many more of the power armor that I used for the Steam Colossi that I'll likely make more, even though I don't  want to go too crazy with walking death machines.

I have a few bits pieces that I am currently looking for other bits to make them into land ironclads, including some Verne-style mega cannons.
