My second entry is another faction for Gamma Wolves. This group is
from an Arcology called Bolschev and is made up of the remnants of
Eastern Europe and Asia. That's a pretty wide range, but it's obviously
meant to depict the old Soviet Union and satellite states. This Arcology
borrows from the usual stereotypes of Eastern Europe using more rugged
and less sophisticated machinery. These models reflect this well and I
added lots of weathering and rust. I was originally going to add red
stars as insignia, but didn't feel right doing that. Instead, I added
what I think are British Army insignia. As coincidence would have it,
the main insignia I used has the same colors as the Polish flag! I
managed to make 6 units consisting of 1 heavy, 3 medium and 2 light
walkers. I added two 28mm figures for scale purposes.

Last post I mentioned one batch of models I ordered that arrived despite
international sanctions. I ordered these models in early January
2022 from Souldark Miniatures based in Russia. It doesn't really sell
miniatures, as their products are more like toys for action figures.
However, their toys made decent mechs for super cheap. In hindsight,
my timing was laughably bad. One of those "what were you thinking?"
moments. I assumed the order would never be sent and I didn't even
bother reaching out to the company or asking for a refund (can't imagine
what the response would have been). To my surprise, sometime in March, a
package showed up at the post office. About half the order was not as
advertised and were of no use (a much smaller scale despite being the
same price as the larger models). The other half was the right size, but
needed lots of work to make serviceable. Oh well, at least they were cheap!Thanks for visiting.
Great work Mike.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to recall...are these rules agnostic in terms of the models/miniatures you use? Could you use any you like?
These look great, really looking forward to a game!
ReplyDeleteYou can use any miniatures. I think the rule designer made it specifically for Gundam models or similar. Weapon load outs and base size are a bit more specific as the game uses a template for movement and each size of mech uses a different size base and template. The base idea is a bit frustrating because some models don’t fit well of the base size he envisioned. I had to be a bit creative and one faction I couldn’t even put on bases because they would have been a ridiculous size.
