Great idea - consider it stolen.  :)

As mentioned nice to see the Kallistra figures "up close".

Excellent modelling, and a fantastic back-story too. It's projects like this that are so dangerous for me. Looking through the pictures, I found myself thinking "Well, my old west buildings could be used in a post-apocalypse game, I suppose, so maybe I should get a few minis and some die-casts, you know, just to have them and to make a start, you know..."
Excellent!

They are truly beautiful, you have done really well there. I especially like the weathered finish, the first photo had me thinking it was a shot from a filmset with full scale vehicles!
Very impressive :)
How do Kallistra measure up to copplestone and EM4? Just by comparison with the vehicles i'd say they would be of a similar heft, and I may have to invest in some...

Wow! These are great!

My friend Jonas is also doing water merchants for his Post Apo gang,... but you're alchohol idea is too great to pass up! I think my scruntian slavers are about to take up a new trade!!!!

Unfortunately we've yet to find some rules that continue to be good fun. One of our gang tried making some himself (with our help) but they sucked.

Thanks, Jonas' merchants were what gave me the idea so credit for that goes to him 8):

We use our own High Octane rules which are mostly based on Gorkamorka. If you like a Necromunda-style skirmish and campaign system coupled with vehicles you'll like it as well. You can find our rules adjustments here:

You will need the Gorkamorka books to use it though. I'm working on a better version of the rules but don't hold your breath.

The Kallistra models are a bit larger than EM4, more like GW models in scale, the weapons are also quite bulky. I'm not really sure how well they mix in a group but as a separate group these work fine to me.

Great looking figs and vehicles there. Nice idea, thanks for sharing! I'll have to mark them down as good research elements! :D

I managed to get the scenario PDF from the link but the High Octane PDF is giving me some trouble.  Just so that you know.
