That is a lot of blasters.
If they all shoot at the same target will they hit it
That is a stunning array of storm troopers, almost enough to man a star destroyer!
Do not say that, now he will have to build one...

You probably either already know about or will hate me for highlighting the Ord Ferrum terrain on Etsy.

Just search Ord Ferrum to reproduce Andor…

Its ok Chris, I've seen them  lol

TBH, while I love what can be achieved with printed miniatures, I'm still in two minds about printed buildings - I have got a couple of examples that I will paint up at some point, but I've also got a bunch that will end up being scrapped...the end product hardly ever matches up to the photos.

My project will continue to be centred around the Oshiro buildings, as they offer a good balance between quality castings, durability and lots of options to customise, albeit I'm also using plenty of scatter from other sources to give even more modifications.

Lovely collection of Stormies, but still not enough to reliably hit any required target  ;)

Thanks everyone… managed to finish the fourth settlement base today.

As usual, the building is from Oshiro, with a bunch of scatter and gubbins from various companies including Oshiro, Crooked Dice, Fogou, Ainsty etc

If you’ve not had a look at the Oshiro Japanese range, have a look as there are plenty of interesting pots/barrels etc that can be used as additional scatter.

The “sun screens” are gantry pieces from Shatterpoint.

….and some group photos with the other settlement bases





They can of course be placed with gaps in between to create roads, but they are also really claustrophobic when placed with the bases touching…wouldn’t like to be the stormtroopers patrolling down these alleyways…




Lots more settlement bases to build

 :)

That modular settlement is a great idea and looks awesome.

Very nice clutter and narrow alleyways.  Just the place for a rebel ambush,
