Third faction done! Well, not done-done, it's more like a rough WIP of it. But I can already see a lot of VERY fun stuff going on here!

It occurs to me that those mechanics in the generic vehicles will be a pain in the ass! I really like how different each faction feels without requiring whole new systems.

It's true! not cheap but feasible. I'm sure there's gonna be plenty of exploitable combos, after a few back-and-fro i'll definitely have to balance it out!
Meanwhile, i'm SO looking forward to test this!

Print done! VERY VERY happy in 6mm, and certain that in 15mm it's gonna look great as well!

EDIT:
LEFT : PRINTED, RIGHT: white paint coated

That really really works indeed! And a great demonstration of how poorly 3d printed resin photographs compared to a primed figure.

New game, with a good LED light for photos too!
First, a properly built 60 points band my opponent decided to field:



And the battle started! Having played many more games I did the right tactical choices in the first Round and the game didn't last much. But some tense situations were still there.

Here the opponent's Socrates decided to charge face-front my Infantry. Since it did so before I had the chance to move mine i could Transport and unload my heavy infantry in close-combat, which made my MG a lot more effective. While at it, i also could control the objective!



Meanwhile the rest of the table remained almost empty, and my two tanks (with a Tank Commander) managed to reach the second objective (without capturing it - tanks are slow with objectives!) and hit the other large Mech causing it a system reboot (one turn without actions).



At that point i had control of the table, and the rest was just a war of attrition. Having the tanks already in position i could put all of them with ADs placed ready to react, and I had two Scouts to deploy in the first reinforcements wave - this blocked part of the deployment area for my opponent, slowing its reaction even more.

I'm not really good at battle reports - I hope this did the job! =)
Cheers
Jack

Absolutle top notch work on these again mate. I particularly love how each has a story to them, you can see how the shanty grew over a more solid structure, or how materials were repurposed into new uses or functions inside the building. Oh and their verticallity obviously  :D
