Finished my first set of cars so I can hopefully get a game in around the holidays. I just need to source dice, tokens, and templates.

Looking good! From my experience, that turret minigun is a killer!

Great stuff! 8)
Your painting style is interesting and nicely uniform across the fleet of cars while still making them all look individual. And the terrain plus mat are looking up to the job too!

Not just yours; over here we decided some time ago already that Minigun Turrets are the most dangerous weapon in the game. Especially when paired with certain perks (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=120826.0)... :D

Thanks for the comments. I really like how they turned out, considering how quickly I was able to paint them. It took about an evening's worth of hobby time (~3 hours maybe).
I documented the process here: https://wyrdstonesandtacklezones.com/2019/12/04/gaslands-back-into-the-wasteland/

Just did two more cars using the same technique.

Thanks! I don't have a FB account, so not sure how they got there, but glad you're digging them.
Here’s another car...same technique. Knocking these out in an evening is a hoot. (sorry for the bad lighting in this photo)

Death Race gates on the cheap...wing twists from your local hardware store glued on washers!

Also, ammo and hazard counters...very cheap.

The race gates are nice. A cheap and cool looking alternative.

The film Tremors has long been my favorite Creature Feature and ever since the tale Perfection, Nevada was told in 1990 I’ve attempted to incorporate giant worms or bugs into all of my post-apocalyptic gaming.
I first attempted to create graboids for Dark Future, using Thorn Crawlers from the pre-painted Mage Knight line, but I could never get the rules into a satisfactory state. Some years later, the early, early 00s, I picked up a copy of Thunder Road and was able to re-purpose those Thorn Crawler models for the very simple Thunder Road ruleset.

I’ve since sold off Thunder Road long ago, but when it came time to find some Big Game models for Gaslands…I knew exactly which ones I was going to seek out.

This time around, there’s already some nice rules in place. I only needed to find the models which have gotten harder to find. Still, despite the higher cost I paid, it was worth it to this hobbyist. Between these Mage Knight models and the Citadel Dark Future pedestrians, I’ve been able to emotionally connect my Gaslands games back to my Dark Future days. This is a project that’s really excited me. What was old and familiar have become new and still just as exciting.

The Big Game scenario in Gaslands calls for setting up creatures within a certain space of the center of the table. It only made sense for me to create a marker for this center point while also adding a little more theme. It was a simple matter to puddy up a hive entry mound of sorts out of green stuff and small rocks.
(https://mikeyc222.files.wordpress.com/2020/03/setup.jpg)
In the image above we can see the scenario set up, though I do include an extra Crawler/Graboid here just for visual effect. The scenario calls for the number of Big Game creatures to equal the number of players +1. Also, I’m using those Dark Future pedestrian minis as the spawn points. In this scenario, the spawn points are also where the players want the drivers to lure the creatures back to. Using minis on foot as spawn points is another cool way to add more narrative to the game without adding any more rules. Certainly more thematic than just a little flag or something.
Finally, below are two shots of the scenario in play with our drivers racing near the Crawler mound attracting attention.

Bloody fantastic! I love the old Dark Future models and they really shine with those worms!
-
What a wonderful load of eye candy!
Great ideas well executed.
Enthusiasm galore.
More please. :)
-
What a great game set up! I immediately thought of Tremors when I saw the pictures. :)

Thanks for the kind words, all. I've got some Blitz Bowl projects I need to get done over the next few weeks, before I circle back to this world, but I've got some stuff in the queue for sure.
Hope everyone is staying safe!
