Title: Saucer War One - News and Information thread
Post by: Macrossmartin on February 19, 2021, 12:27:33 PM
Hello everyone!

Rather than spam the forum with multiple posts, I thought I'll combine my Saucer War One post here.

There's a new article over on the Miniature Martin blog. This time, we take a look at the Weapon Disc, and what it does.

I hope you enjoy this sneak peek into the game's development. Thanks for looking!




Please pardon all these flights of fancy of mine, but I am getting a little excited about the miniatures being sculpted for Saucer War One. In part, this is because I just took delivery of two Elegoo Mars 2 Pro 3D printers, so soon I'll be able to show off actual, real, physical miniatures, rather than mere renders. It's a great feeling to know that something you're crafting is finally coming together.  :D

Now, on to today's UFO disclosure! Flying down from Venusian motherships, this is the Noordican's Triga beta-type saucer. An ancient design of the alien Annunaki pressed into service by the desperate denizens of Venus.

Beta type saucers are heavy fighters — the Saucer War One equivalents of Me110's, DeHavilland Mosquitos, and P-61 Black Widows. These are the beasts you release where you're done talking and its time to smash some saucers.

As a 1/200th scale miniature, the Triga is 73mm across. Bigger than the humble Biga which makes the bulk of the Noordican fleet, but more nimble than the mighty Quadriga alpha-type that does the heavy lifting (literally), for the 'Enlightenment' of Earth. (Alphas will be revealed... well, as soon as we get them sculpted!  ;) )

You can find out more about Saucer War One here on the Miniature Martin blog. Do come take a look, if you like this sort of thing.

Thanks Martin.  I think this thread needs more SilverCat!

I can only agree! And as soon as I get to fire up my new Elegoo printer, there WILL be more Silvercat!  :D

Saucer War One: Do you want to know more...?

I've just compiled a selection of answers to questions people ask about SW1. When will it be available? What scale? How much? And how many Grey aliens can dance on the head of a pin?

Follow the link above to the Miniature Martin blog, because the truth is in there!

Didn't answer your question? Post it in a reply here, and I'll add it to the State of the Saucer.
