[LaserCutCard] Gothic Bastion

[LaserCutCard]

The gunship model is finished… it just needs a nice paint job.

It should retail for $16 including the stand.

it is bigger than a storm talon and smaller than a storm raven.

We're keeping the detailing down so that you can modify it into whatever you want.

Looks great and the price is certainly right! Have you folks given any consideration to a cargo version or at least a version with a troop compartment a'la Valkyrie?

Thanks for the kind words. We haven't considered that as a separate model yet... we'll see how this goes. At the moment we are more into the "counts as" mentality

The gunship is finally ready and in the store.



This was surprisingly difficult to paint for me as I am not used to larger models like this.

There are a a bunch more photos here. http://lasercutcard.co.za/2015/04/the-gunship-is-released/

If you are wondering how difficult it might be to build, the instructions to build it are here: http://lasercutcard.co.za/shop/download/manuals/v13.cfm

We've been playing around with this for a while, including using a prototype in a local competition to see how players interacted with it.

It is almost ready to go



The idea is to produce a modular fort that comprises of four basic kits:


A bastion


A gatehouse


A tower


A wall

The gatehouse, tower and wall also come with two short angled walls so that you don't have to have a perfectly square fort.

We aim to have each set priced at around $10 and you can buy what you want depending on how big you want your fort to be

As for player feedback,
- it was a great LOS blocker at the centre of the table
- The short walls are counted as buildings with stats Armour 11/11/11 HP2 so that they can be destroyed in game relatively easily
- the other pieces are Armour 12/12/12 HP3
- having the pieces modular made it very easy to pack away and the pieces were really strong

Now to paint them

The orc fort is complete

It comprises these elements:


Bastion


Gatehouse set (gatehouse + two short walls)


Tower set (tower + two short walls)


Wall set (long wall + two short walls)

The entire fort is $38 and the components are available individually.

We have re-released the art deco ruins and they are now in the store here: http://www.lasercutcard.co.za/shop/scenery/buildings

These models have had the MDF replaced with card, which has made them lighter (saves on shipping) and cheaper by about $7 per model.

They are all part of the same building master file (which is based on a real building - Victoria Mansions in Durban, South Africa)

They are fantastic for 28mm games where skulls are not a prerequisite (or even 28mm games where you are just tired of skulls)  


One level ruin: $16


Two level ruin: $20


Two level ruin: $20


Three level ruin: $20

In case you were wondering, the real building looks like this:

Now those I like... A lot.

It's  been a quiet couple of months on the R&D front at LCC but things are starting to happen again.

These are test cuts of two new kits.



Container Box Set test cut

This is basically a set of 4 containers in sets of two, joined together. It will complement the stacked containers and the set of three single containers and provide a cheap and easy way to set up an entire board with containers.


Na-To test cut 1

The Na-To was an Imperial Japanese Army tank destroyer designed in the closing stages of WW2.

We like the shape as a generic tracked transport and so are having a crack at it.

The basic test for the Na-To turned out quite well. This is the basic shape with no detailing – that can come later. Assuming that we are aiming for 1/48 scale, this cut is substantially bigger than the “real” one – it is aimed at wartrakk size. The bin on the back is also a lot wider than the real model on account of WAAAGH.

The next version will test an accurate 1/48 scale one with a slightly different track system but so far, so good.

If you want to see bigger versions of those pictures they are available here: http://lasercutcard.co.za/2015/08/new-vehicle-and-shipping-containers-wips/

Those could be useful.  I would shorten the engine compartment and lengthen the rear compartment to maximize the WAAAGH potential...

[LaserCutCard]

We’ve added a new container set to our collection – the “container box” set. This is effectively two of our standard containers, side by side.



This completes our Core Container range, which comprises set of 3 standard single containers, the “container stack” (two standard containers on top of one another) and now the “container box”.

The stack and box sets are $14.95 each and the standard set of 3 is only $15.95 but you can now get all three of these core sets in a single bundle for only $34.95 – saving 25%!



All the container options are available here: http://www.lasercutcard.co.za/shop/scenery/shipping_containers

The Na-To, resized for 1/48 and with detailing added.

The track system has been modifed to have idler wheels too.

What a great model to put together... easy and fast to build and strong as heck. It had some tiny bugs which have been sent for correction and then we should be able to release it next week.

Price is looking at around $18

Looking good!  Will it be equipped with the gun?

Thanks!
The artillery gun and the quad cannon will be optional upgrades.

I should have it in the store today

The Na-To was a late addition to the WW2 arsenal of the Empire Of Japan. It was intended as the carrier for the Type 5 anti-tank gun and was meant for the final defense of the home islands.

The war ended before it went into production but we kind of love the ugly little beast and so it is resurrected here as a generic tractor.


The standard model is really easy to put together and is a great basis for your own conversions. This basic set is $16.95


It can be bought with the “orc” upgrade set for an additional $4… this includes a set of orc glyphs and a set of our heavy machine guns. The upgrade is an extra $4


The model is scaled fairly accurately to 1/48 scale and as a happy coincidence, is perfect for 30mm wargames systems.

Postage is $2 worldwide for a single model, but only $4 for up to 3.

The glyph upgrade set includes enough glyphs for 2 models so if you are considering ordering 2 or more of the "orc ones, it is only necessary to buy one upgrade per 2 models.
