Title: Dark Future, Gaslands & Zona Alpha
Post by: diehard on April 15, 2022, 08:47:50 PM
Now retired with both cataracts repaired I could finally return to my long time hobby, painting and gaming. I decided to cull my collection down to my Mythos stuff, all my Dark Future stuff (both of which I have a  lot of), my scenery collection and Zombicide as I have some non gamers who like it that I'm hoping to convert.

This also led me back to LAF, the best place on the net for our hobbies. Now the first thing I did after being able to paint again was do up my entire Strange Aeons collection and some associated Mythos stuff. But after a bit of reading on the PA threads brought to my attention Gaslands and Zona Alfa. (ZA because I was a big Necromunda fan way back.)

Now I have just about everything for Dark Future, two of the boxed games, the White Line Fever Supplement, a box of Battle Cars, pretty much duplicates of all the miniatures (with many bikes and trikes) and every White Dwarf with a related article. And then proceeded to never even play the game as I could never find anyone to play with. But I loved the scale and even bought a number of die cast cars to convert.
Which leads me to my question, how does DF stack up to Gaslands rule wise? I'm thinking of a PA set up involving elements of driving and skirmish combat. I love the scale which opens up to a lot of available terrain options already available out there. I could probably make a bit of cash getting rid of my DF stuff but I kept it all these years cause I really always liked it and always hoped to do something with it. So if anyone is familiar with both DF and Gaslands I'd really be interested in hearing your opinions about both plus any observations about ZA or the like at the 20mm scale (or any similar game I may be unaware of.) Thanks for taking the time to read all this nonetheless, I appreciate the consideration.

I’m also another fan of the Dark Future line who has drug those minis into modern rulesets Gaslands and Zona Alpha.

I have a log of my efforts and thoughts here that you might enjoy:

Hi Jack, thanks for the link to your most interesting and impressive thread. I also went though your blog too, some really cool stuff there. Your PA project is pretty similar to what I had in mind, a sort of Dark Future/Necromunda Mashup. I too really dug the DF 20mm and as I start to focus in on finishing up the projects I want and culling the rest (probably to reinvest in scenery) I decided that I was finally going to do something with them. There's also the bonus of all the 1/72 scenery available. How are the Gaslands rules as opposed to the DF ones? And are you still playing your mash up rules or have you moved on. You did some great work on the factions and the vehicles, very inspiring. Thanks for that too.

I too enjoyed Dark Future.  Way back when, I had made Car Wars style turning widgets to be able to take the game off road.  It's been too long since I've played to compare it to any the more recent offerings.  Game design in general has gotten more streamlined since then.
 
Of the other current game, you might also want to take a look at Maximillian 1934.  I greatly prefer the turning widget in that over the X-Wing style movement templates of Gaslands.  Max34 has been working great for running Wacky Max 1968 with 1/72 Wacky Races minis.

Hey Diehard, to be honest, I have yet to play a game of Gaslands! my current game group is enchanted with Blood Bowl, so it's been a steady diet of fantasy football since the covid restrictions have lifted. That said, I personally enjoy the DF rules for the gonzo die rolling charts and results (I have played plenty of DF, but last game was probably 15 years ago now), but from watching videos and reading the rules, I think Gaslands is going to go down better with modern gamers. Though I haven't played, I'm not discouraged at all. I'm a patient man. I know i'll get some games in this year, I have no doubt of that, and I'm looking forward to painting up some more of the gangs on foot (the ninjas and rockers) and can't wait to add the Northstar Punks to my Citadel Maniax crew.

EDIT: I recently found out that the upcoming Xeno Rampant from Opsrey (a sci-fi offshot of the Lion Rampant rules) is going to include Post Apoc units/rules. There's a very high chance I'll use these models for that too. I can see combining my cultist, aliens and robots into one faction vs like the police, scientist and thrill hunters. maybe the rockers and punks will team up too. Should be fun.

Hey Jack, thanks for the thoughtful reply. Funny enough I recently ran into an old friend I used to game with and, since I parted with all my old stuff  just got the 2nd edition Blood Bowl last year when he expressed interest in playing it again. Finally painted up the original Norse team and the ogre Morg'n'thorg. Now to hopefully get some games in.

Although Gaslands sounds interesting going to probably stick with DF since it's what I know and already have everything for it. Will be picking up the Copplestone guys though, they look pretty sweet. Did you ever manage to complete your DF miniature collection? I know I need a couple yet but have duplicates of most. At least 2 full sets of all 12 Maniax poses plus extras of some of those. Will have to dig out the old White Dwarfs and see what I actually need yet. And finally thanks for the heads up on the Xenos Rampant info, like the sound of that so will probably hold off on Zona Alfa till I see what that looks like. But decided either way going to come up with a gang skirmish game with vehicles, these guys deserve it after all these years.

Oh, and I also checked out Greenlight Collectables, some really nice stuff there and good to know it's all in the correct scale. Can see me making some purchases from them in the future. Was nice that they used to give tou a weapons sprue in the DF blisters, I have quite a few of them at this point.

Yeah, I've got high hopes for Xenos Rampant especially since it sounds like there will be vehicle rules included. I was looking forward to the ruleset for simple on-foot gang warfare, but I'm interested to see how vehicles are included. I'd think they won't account for the sort of white line fever that the Dark Future and Gaslands rules provide, but that's fine.

I haven't complete my Dark Future Citadel collection yet. Took a brief pause to get some new BB teams up and running. I agree though, it was nice for those car weapon sprues to be included in the DF blisters. I've got several myself. Still, I picked up both sprues of Implements of Carnage from Northstar. Lots of good stuff there too.

Well, if you come up to play Dracula's America, we can trade Dark Future minis too! You are hitting all my favorite games! I've got a few DF to swap, and I'll second the vote that Gaslands stuff is equally excellent.

Hey guys, I would be down with trading some DF guys, I know I do need a couple yet (never was able to get that chainsaw warrior for one) and I also know that I definitely have duplicates of a number of figures, in fact am pretty sure there were only a couple I only have one of, and that includes bikes, trikes and drivers. I will dig them and the WD issues out and come up with a list of what I have and what I need.
Title: Re: Dark Future, Gaslands & Zona Alpha
Post by: diehard on April 29, 2022, 12:41:42 AM
And Lead Asbestos, what is your take on the DF rules as opposed to the Gaslands rules? I will still probably wait to see what the Zenos Rampant rules look before I make any decisions about rule sets, too bad they're not coming out till towards the end of the year but that gives me a lot of time to paint some stuff up. After all these years I still haven't done anything with my DF stuff. But I loved the whole Road Warrior vibe right from the start, and still do. And as Necromunda was a favorite of mine this could be the best of both worlds.
Title: Re: Dark Future, Gaslands & Zona Alpha
Post by: LeadAsbestos on April 29, 2022, 01:06:25 PM
Gotta keep it fast play for auto combat, I think. I'll sacrifice detail for ease of play and a sense of speed, so Gaslands gets my vote. Probably one of the Fistful of Lead games for pedestrian action?
Title: Re: Dark Future, Gaslands & Zona Alpha
Post by: diehard on April 29, 2022, 11:01:06 PM
Hey LA, thanks for sharing your observations, muchly appreciated. As I may have mentioned earlier, am kind of interested in checking out Zenos Rampant from what I've read about it, and supposedly it will include vehicle rules too. Unfortunately it's not coming out till towards the end of the year. But think I'm going to pick up a copy of Gaslands anyway. Never played the FFoL rules but have read a lot of good things about them. Mostly been toying with Strange Aeons and using the solo deck. Like the solo deck but have my issues with the SA rules, especially the combat/damage stuff. Besides adding to my Mythos collection the vehicle & gang stuff is going to be my main project going forwards. I have a real soft spot for the DF figures so time to finally do something with them. (But do plan on putting together a posse for DA just in case.)

We had many a fun game using the Dark future figures and the Necromunda rules. The cars were really used as battle taxis. But saying that the savage worlds rules gave a good game and included simple vehicle rules.
Title: Re: Dark Future, Gaslands & Zona Alpha
Post by: diehard on April 30, 2022, 01:23:40 AM
Thanks Nick, will have to add Savage Worlds to my list of things to check out. Yeah love me those Dark Future figures and that's what I'm pretty much looking for (Necromunda was also a favorite of mine), a gang skirmish that includes vehicles. The direction I take it in will definitely be affected by the rules I use but at it's basic core that's what I'm looking for.
Title: Re: Dark Future, Gaslands & Zona Alpha
Post by: diehard on May 02, 2022, 12:16:40 AM
I have taken stock of my Dark Future figures and vehicles and now know what I need and how many of each of what I do have. Surprisingly need around 10 models to complete my collection, and two are casualties that I can take or leave. If anyone is still interested in trading I have multiples of many of the figures so let me know what you think about it.

I actually don’t know if I have many spares, I sold some to LeadAsbestos several months back. This image has which minis I still need, the ones without checks.

Hi Jack, check and see what you have as I believe I have most of the ones you're missing. Am thinking of starting a trade thread after looking on eBay, most of the prices there are insane, even more insane is people are buying them. Almost $20 for one of the plastic bikes, and I have like 16 of them. Without the casualties I need 7 figures and 1 driver, though I'd be interested in duplicates of some I already have. Interestingly the smaller add in your thread (which I didn't find in any of my WDs) with the squares around the 2 figures, I do have the girl but not the guy leaning back with the rifle but I do have a guy leaning forward with a rifle which I haven't seen anywhere else. Will get a pic next time I get them out. I even have the promo Santa. Figure if worse comes to worse I can always sell some on eBay to get what I need, I did see a couple for sale. Now I'm pumped to finish them off.

The Collecting Citadel Miniatures wiki has the best resource pics for collecting, although I recall finding one mistake!

I see you've figured out attaching photos.

I might also be in a situation where I have little to trade, but will buy. let me check if I have any spares.
(i've also got lots of other 20mm survivalist types from Dark Alliance if anyone needs more.)

I think this mini is the one I've got in a box on the right. it's just the angle he's positioned in the ad photo you can't tell he's leaning forward

(https://mikeyc222.files.wordpress.com/2021/06/screen-shot-2021-06-17-at-3.15.43-pm.png)

I'm fairly certain it's the same model

Thanks for the link, pretty cool and something that I didn't even know existed. And Jack I agree with you about the rifle guy, that's definitely the guy on the site. Which means I have the three rare figures which is very groovy. I will see if I can get some decent pics of the pages I did so you can see what I have and what I need.

Oh, and ordered up Gaslands Refueled last night, should be here tomorrow and only cost $17 and change. Thank you for your reviews and looking forward to checking it out.

I have very little to trade. I think I sold all my dupes to LeadAsbestos. I need to keep an eye on more blisters for sale.

The first photo has my dupes. The second is drivers that I don’t have dupes of but probably won’t use so might be willing to trade. The last photo is a bike and sidecar, but they are both showing lead rot which bums me out. I need to get a sidecar.

Title: Re: Dark Future, Gaslands & Zona Alpha
Post by: diehard on May 05, 2022, 06:34:41 PM
I will put up what I  have and need later today. From the looks of it either of you might have the last driver I need but that's maybe it. Not really interested in selling them although I will do what I can to help you both out with those figures I have multiples of. Otherwise I'll look at selling some on eBay at their ridiculous prices so I can get what I need at their ridiculous prices. Last thing I want do but now I have a bug up my ass to finish them off. Some ass on ebay has 3 chainsaw warriors but wants around 50 bucks for them.

Sorry for the delay in getting these up, real life got in the way of my hobbies once again. On the drivers page the driver I need is the unmasked one with the pistol across his chest. And that's not all the motorcycle rider tops they made, I have additional ones that aren't on that add.

And I picked up Gaslands Refueled, reading it now. Pretty interesting. And finally ordered the Copplestone Interceptor driver and the two Corporation packs. Will get the others eventually but decided to start with them. Really nice looking figures and from your Roswell posts Jack they seem to match up really well with the DF guys.

I think that's one of the ones I have. Isn't he the same as the driver in the bottom left of my drivers picture?
I'd be willing to trade him for a sidecar. I have a punk upper torso for the sidecar, but my sidecar is lead rotting... :(

Title: Re: Dark Future, Gaslands & Zona Alpha
Post by: diehard on May 10, 2022, 04:06:36 AM
Hi Jack, yeah, I wasn't sure but was thinking that might be the driver I need, if it is then sure would swap you a sidecar for him. And do appreciate your checking on the foot guys for me. Now I have a bug to complete them and did see a couple I need on ebay though I'd have to sell some stuff to pay what they're asking for them. Thinking about starting a trade thread anyway.

And that's a pretty cool idea about the add, I have it in one of my DF White Dwarfs but didn't use it as it was incomplete. Took a little break from painting after finishing up all my Strange Aeons stuff but about to start on the DF project now so should have something to show pretty soon.

Hi DivisMal, by all means you're welcome to join in. Dig those guys out and see what you have and what you need. It would be nice if a bunch of us can all add to our collections without paying insane prices on ebay.
Title: Re: Dark Future, Gaslands & Zona Alpha
Post by: Mr. White on May 10, 2022, 02:55:08 PM
ok, it looks like I have a spare of this guy. I didn't notice him earlier because I already affixed him to a base. If you're cool with that I can include him in the trade. you have a few I'd like to get my hands on so maybe he can trade for one of them. Also, i wouldn't mind buying a few if your prices are better than the 'Bay. ;)

Post by: diehard on May 10, 2022, 03:34:41 PM
Hey Jack that's great, for sure I'll take him. And seems like we might have a couple more interested parties. And I did notice that I have a couple of the guys you need in duplicate and was already my intention to try and help you complete your collection. Am sure we can work something out.

If you happen to have any duplicates of the cultists I'd be interested in those too.

We'll see what's what but I'm sure we'll work something out.  And as you can see we have a couple more people interested so it's all looking good.

And excuse my ignorance but what's a McDeath collection?

Definitely trade you for him, and can't tell from the pick but if the last top figure is the cop holding the pistol out I'd take him too. Like I said we'll work something out.

Hey Jack, actually was waiting to see if the other guys who expressed interest got back to us but it seems not. So no haven't done anything yet. I was waiting to see if I  needed anything that I  only had a few of to trade to them but I guess I'll just hook up you and LA with whatever I have multiples of to help you complete your collections. If they chime in later we'll just have to see what we still have then.

Well no one else has chimed in it looks like it's just Jack, LeadAsbestos and me. Will shoot you guys a PM and we can do some bartering and get the details worked out. I got a couple of the Copplestone figures in the mail today so taking that as a sign to get this project in gear. Still wondering though if we should bother with putting up a trade thread. Will ponder that a little further.

@ swiftnick - Cool, no problem. Earlier in the thread a couple of us put up some pics of what we have and what we need. I have quite a few duplicate figures and will look forward to seeing what you have. Thanks for chiming in!

Anybody want a near complete McDeath collection?🤔🙂
I have the scenario pack (well most of it) a d a few figures. I could not afford the full set back then.
So PM incoming.

Not yet, but hopeful!😉

Honestly, I hope we can all get closer to finishing our collections! I just bought the DF rules, finally got a copy at a reasonable price, .mostly for the art!
For actual DF players, has everyone seen the MDF road sets I commissioned Ironheart Artisans to make? Replaces the wonky cardboard? Ill hunt down the link. And no, I don't get a fee, though I think I damn well should!🤔🙄😉

There they are, sturdy and they paint up like a dream!

Also, McDeath is off the trading table, as I got my head out of my a$$ and actually started painting it

Hey LA, thanks for the heads up on the road tiles, they are very nice looking albeit a little on the pricey side. After I procure everything else I have in mind for this project (which needs a name) will have to give them some thought. Now that I've actually begun it some interesting ideas are starting to gel, more on that later. But for now hopefully these other gentleman chime in and we can all improve our collections.

I hadn't seen those, but they're great! I too love that DF rulebook. The Carl Critchlow art really sells the setting. The rulebook, those road tiles (often warped when gotten second hand) and that clear range ruler with the comic explosions are real stand outs to the box set.

I too thought you were crazy when you offered up McDeath....

I have a driver you need, unless you got it from LA already. I have a duplicate of that swat model too. Besides those, I might need to offer cash for some of your figures, but won't be able to til the end of the month.
Title: Re: Dark Future, Gaslands & Zona Alpha
Post by: diehard on May 21, 2022, 11:09:35 PM
Hey Jack no worries still want the driver and Swat guy like I said. And if you have any spare cultistsof any variety would take them too. And it's been my intention to hook up you and Lead with whatever you need that I have and work something out, as fellow DF fans I'd like to see you get your collections complete too. Actually just waiting to see what happens with the other guys who expressed interest. If I need a figure I only have like two of to trade for what I need then I would have to do that but the ones I have multiples of you can basically count on.

And yeah, part of the attraction of DF for me is the rulebook with the cool art and background, the road sections and love the crazy clear template too. Been thinking of mounting the road pieces on something, have to mull that over.

And been reading Gaslands, not bad I like the more in depth design of DF but feel that GL might be easier to teach someone new to play. Am debating grabbing the dice and templates for it now. We'll see.

Hey guys, as it's been a little while since any of the new guys who expressed interest have chimed in I was wondering if we should do a proper trade thread. After looking at what is already up for Jack I have 3 guys I have multiples of that you can have along with the side car you expressed interest in. I also have another four that I only have two of which I wanted to see if I needed them to trade with any of the other guys first. And Lead Asbestos I have if I remember correctly 6 or 7 in multiples that you can definitely have and maybe 2 or 3 that I only have the duplicates of. That's why I was thinking of the trade thread this way we could see who else is interested and do everything all at once. Let me know what you guys think.

Hey Lead A, I might have the drivers you need (I do have some multiples of them) but I can't make out what you have from your picture. I did put the GW ad page with the drivers up, maybe you can figure out what you need from there.

Title: Re: Dark Future, Gaslands & Zona Alpha
Post by: diehard on May 31, 2022, 02:42:10 AM
That's the question I posed in one of my more recent posts. If we started a trade thread we might catch the attention of some more interested parties and for me would answer the question of if I needed the figures I only have two of or if I can just give them to you and L A. I dunno, what do you think J H?
Title: Re: Dark Future, Gaslands & Zona Alpha
Post by: Dr Mathias on June 01, 2022, 02:04:02 PM
Trading and pics with a trade/sell stash should probably be conducted in the 'Bazaar of Obscurities' section.

I'm sure its okay to mention that you have relevant stuff posted there in this thread.
Title: Re: Dark Future, Gaslands & Zona Alpha
Post by: diehard on June 01, 2022, 02:10:23 PM
Thanks Doc and so it shall be.  This just sort of grew out of our ongoing conversations and that's why I was asking about it earlier having not really much experience with it.

I've been sort of dragging my feet on this because of end of the month work deadlines. I'll have time to seal the deal on trades late next week. I've done many trades and sales on this forum, so I'm not flaking here, it's just been crazy timing on my end.

Thanks, all, for your patience. I'm excited to get some of these models in my collection!
Title: Re: Dark Future, Gaslands & Zona Alpha
Post by: diehard on June 01, 2022, 06:42:47 PM
No problem buddy, just a couple friendly modelers trying to help each other finish out a favored collection. So no hurry it's not like it's a time sensitive situation. I'm going to start a trade thread as noted that'll give a little time for any other interested parties to join in then we can do our swaps. Good luck with your work deadlines, glad I don't have to deal with that anymore.

Hey guys been busy with reality stuff but will set up a trade post sometime later today. Aside from that watched The Road Warrior earlier tonight because it seemed like the thing to do after I painted what had to be the first miniature for my A Darker Future setting.

He looks great! I think Greenlight sells a car called the Last Interceptor or something and it’s his car.

I won’t be back home until Thursday, so can jump into the trade thread then.
Title: Re: Dark Future, Gaslands & Zona Alpha
Post by: diehard on June 05, 2022, 09:48:43 PM
Yeah I've been looking at the Greenlight stuff since you mentioned it in your Roswell thread, it's called The Last of the Interceptors and I actually have it in my cart but thanks for mentioning it. Really like the Copplestone figures, working on the Corporate guys right now. But thanks, yeah I  do kind of like the way he turned out.

I started a trade thread, Jack and LA you guys are already in for whatever you need that I have. Do either of you guys need the plastic biker that came with the game? I have quite a few of those. Let me know.
