They can also be used for anything up to modern in wargaming in the set scale. So Along with BoB they can be WW2 or WW1 20mm as well as modern. While I have not seen any pictures of them in Afghanistan that will not stop me using them as they instantly give height to the battlefield. (which most wargames are lacking if you were to ask me... thank goodness you did not!
As mentioned at the time they are 3D printed and they are a little rough. None of which bothers me in the slightest. Personally I think they are great and just what the BoB battle field needs.
Obvious scenarios include, stopping a message getting through, perhaps calling up reserves perhaps furthinging the campaign story. Maybe calling for a plane to rescue an important person or artefact. Maybe to chop down and use to stop a train, maybe to show a no fly zone (due to the wires) anyway you get the idea and I am sure there will be supplementary scenario ideas. all 10 (more than I need) are now finished and will enhance the battlefield in due time.
Lastly some more strange Japanese WW2 tanks for my PBI forces. I expect them to provide more of a laugh than a threat in games as let's be honest not the most potent of ww2 tanks. But they did exist and they were amphibious and were cheap on eBay. And they is good enough for me. I hope to get them painted this week. More about them then.Have a good weekend and paint if the mood takes you.
The telegraph poles turned out really well Clint, as for the new tanks shall watch with interest
ReplyDeleteThank Dave some VBCW first I think. Them maybe the tanks, I am in 2 minds as to how to paint them. But yes I am very happy with the telegraph poles although I am sure they will get snagged on many players sleeves.
DeleteIt is adding little touches like telegraph poles or street lights to a gaming board that bring it to life. Nicely done, Clint.
ReplyDeleteThank you Bryan I totally agree. But alas something I usually miss in favour of painting troops.
DeleteGreat work on the telegraph poles, Clint, and those WW2 vehicles look like great additions to PBI too. 3-D printing certainly seems to be the way of things currently.
ReplyDeleteThanks Blax. These might be the first piece of 3D printing that I hav ever owned. As such I am very happy. They will improve the tabletop games no end.
DeleteAs for the tanks I want to get going on them, but I must paint some of Matts figures first.
Very nice Clint. I keep meaning to make some telegraph poles myself. Its amazing how a few scattered around the table bring it to life that little bit more.
ReplyDeleteThank you Simon. For a few quid I am sure you can get MDF ones. It all comes down to how much you choose to spend and the time you have of course. But I think they will enhance the table top.
DeleteIf you hadn't have said the telegraph poles were printed, I wouldn't have noticed. I for one can do without more tall things to knock over when I'm playing, hence the lack of lamp=post etc. on my modern boards!.
ReplyDeleteI do love the early 'joke' tanks, small and generally useless or the larger, many turreted, later ones. I've no doubt these will be a quickly done!
Thank you Joe. These "Joke" Tanks were late war and amphibious. Now assembled and ready for primer.
DeleteYes the knocking over of wargames stuff is always an issue. Except on 6mm. But an issue I deem worth while in the over view of having a more realistic table top game. Like I said these can make or break a scenario just by giving more options to advance the story.
