More figures for Lunar

[Oldgamer]

I recently splashed out on an add on set for Black Site Studios Lunar game, Attack on Zvezda 13.
It contains some 2d terrain, weapon and item cards, scenario cards and some new figures, four in total.

They are injection resin mouldings so the heavy mould lines on previous figures are gone, they cut off the sprue very easily and come with Black circular bases.

I painted them by putting a wash over the base colour, then drybrushing  then a final highlight. I used the decals provided in the starter set.





I then converted a couple of spare Cosmonauts using some Lunar spares and a Warlord SO type rifle.




I am putting a game on at the club on Tuesday so will try and get some photos and a game report together.

Great stuff!

The paintjobs are simple but very effective. I als like your basic bases; they really convey a lunar feel. The conversions are great too; Space AK's!

I'm very drawn to the Lunar game, but the absolutely prohibitive shipping and customs costs (to the Old World) have prevented me from getting into it (for now). So I'm very interested in seeing a battlereport

Great work - love the paint jobs

Very much this ...although I need another project like a hole in the head

Spectre Minis now carry a limited range in the UK, l have always ordered direct from Black Site and spread the cost over three months with Paypal, never been hit with customs fees either (yet)

They look great and are very tempting

That's good to know!

I also have lunar. Love the figures in general and yours
in particular. They look great. Had not heard of the add on.

Terrific minis - and a terrific show. One of the best in recent memory for its alternate take on history. SPOILER: ‘Merica loses!

[Inkpaduta]

This is not a game about the show. This is a game called Lunar.

This is not a game about the show. This is a game called Lunar.

Ok. But the show is undeniably like the game, or the game is undeniably like the show.

Tell me I’m wrong. 

[Daeothar]

Oh, you're not wrong 

But for me, the biggest inspiration is Hot Moon: Apollo Rising. A really awesome, thrilling and well researched book about seventies era space race hostilities on the moon

+++EDIT+++ Just visited the Spectre store, but they're all out of starter sets right now. I'll be checking them regularly now!

Fantastic kit bash on your Soviet Combat specialist. I’ve been thinking about using an UZI or MAC-10 from the Warlords Zombie survivalist sprue or maybe the RPG for a Soviet Cosmonaut, not even sure that would work in the lunar vacuum.
So glad you’re posting. Wasn’t sure anyone was playing Lunar.

They are fin stabilised, so out of the box they will not be very accurate.

Of course you could posit that it is a variant that has gyrojet style angled vents to impart spin - though I would not know what else would be different with it operating in vacuum.

The explosive shockwave wouldn't be an issue anymore, but by the same note shrapnel would travel farther in the lower gravity.

The lack of atmosphere would have a greater effect on the shrapnel velocity, but the fragment density falls off at the same rate.
