Warriors of Athena

Now that the new “Warriors of Athena” rulebook has been released, here are some of the preparations I've made for it. There will be plenty more content coming in the future.

 

NASA Squad for LUNAR

NASA squad for LUNAR completed.
This marks the end of the project for now. Over the past few weeks, I have painted two complete factions, mission tokens and terrain for LUNAR

 

Terrain for Feudal Japan

Some terrain pieces for feudal Japan: Koi Fish Pond and Shinto Shrine.

FDM prints, STLs from the "Nippon Saga" Kickstarter campaign.

 

AvP: The hunt begins/Bug Hunt Corridors - the final section

Michi has scratchbuilt the missing crossing section for one of the ten scenario layouts of Aliens versus Predator: The hunt begins. The cardboard floorplans which came with the game were replaced by 3D sections made of lasercut plywood (Bug hunt corridors kits by now defunct Fantasy Arc from 2014).

Games Workshop made plastic floor tiles for Necromunda which Michi used to turn into airducts for the AvP game. Now Boneshop offers similarly designed lasercut MDF kits to build matching floor tiles with variable surfaces. Michi bought a set and converted it into a square room with a floor grating of Fenris "Sulaco" floor cut into shape.

The walls were painted with the same Revell 55 whitish green that was used for the scratchbuilt plastic airducts, although the weathering was much more intense this time to display a really worn machinery section. Entrances are magnetized and cut to size to match the Bug hunt corridors sections.

 

Halloween Vibes

A few little tinkering jobs in spooky October to bring a bit of a scary feeling to the gaming table.

 

Torii Gate

A traditional Japanese Torii gate including stone foundation and offering bowls.
3D modeling in Blender by myself, printed with a filament printer.

 

Forgotten Religion

A small piece of terrain that can be used variably. Mainly pieced together from Styrodur scraps. Only the window frames and the saint figure are 3D printed. The mosaic glass is simple, transparent foil painted with alcohol markers.

 

3D printed Walls and Floors

In 2021, I backed a Kickstarter project: "Loot-A-Shack" by Alexandros Stamateas. 3D printable terrain parts suitable for various modern wargaming genres.

Only two years later, I finally got around to taking a closer look at the extensive files and possibilities. Here are a few test prints, which I also magnetized with 3mm magnets so that the parts can be assembled modularly.

Printed with resin on an Elegoo Mars2Pro. About 6 wall and floor elements fit on one printing plate.

Printing was trouble free, painting takes a little longer than I thought due to the beautiful details. But it is a lot of fun.

 

 

Marvel Crisis Protocol: Core Box, Part 2

It took about five weeks to finish painting all the components of the Core Box. Painting MCP is a lot of fun because every character looks completely different, which makes everything enormously varied.
After the core box, I will now gradually start to print interesting additions and also tinker a modular city terrain.

 

 

 

 

Target Locked On: Air-to-Ground Missions

I'm still engaged in modern air combat in the Vietnam era. In order to not just get stuck in dogfights and bring some variation to the missions (and honestly have some fluff for the battlefield), I made two small villages in 1/285 scale, 6mm. They are meant to be markers or waypoints that can be used for various air2ground missions.

STLs of the buildings by The Lazy Forger.
STLs of the tree tops by Goonmaster 3D. In fact, they are actually ferns for 28mm scale.
The tree trunk is a free STL from Thingiverse that I connected to the tree tops using Blender, scaled all the stuff down and then printed the completed trees in various sizes.
