Haha, so it's not just me who's not been playing fallout4 huh? Always been a fan of this one, even before I knew TNT was a thing (and thus became suddenly more interested in the post/apoc genre for tabletop). May need to go seek out these other things you say you're doing though.

Yes, other things...

haha yeah, too much to do and not enough time to do it. much less play all the games its for.

Wyrmalla, I've only just now noticed the Sharwoods advert in your OP and its cracking me up.m

Btw, I've started my own Fallout blog if you're interested. Check my signature for a link.

In the models, would you consider Enclave Hellfire Armor to be lesser in quality compared to the orginal armor that you already made models for?

Are you comparing these two?





Well for one, only one was actually finished. The Hellfire armour's sitting with a loose set of arms still in a box somewhere.

The Hellfire green as its picture there's missing another layer of details (particularly the knees, and the whole chest). Its hardly an amazing green, particularly the lines aren't straight enough.

That, and the other Enclave model's a plastic kit, just with a different head and gun...

So, and this is me maybe misinterpreting you, aye, could be better. Not to say in the year since I made that thing I did get better.



Or is it a question on whether making models that're not based on in game assets easier? Not really, a piece of source material's a piece of source material. Applying random shapes tend to work out the same. I.e. the above Morrowind figure.

I meant more like on the board game quality. Cause, you called it the enclave t-45d so is it inferior on the board compared to the other armor, even though the first armor is an older model by canon.

Hellfire armour was made under different circumstances than Advanced Power Armour Mk.1.

The later went through decades of development, whilst Hellfire was made within the span of a few years and with much more limited resources.

I'm not aware of the canon backstory behind Hellfire armour other than "we liked the T-45d design so we decided to make an Enclave looking version". Though aesthetically I can't get away with saying that its worse out of hand because its less streamlined, as the same game features Advanced Power Armour Mk.2. Rather Mk.1. has a pre-war style and technological doo-daas, but the later models are more pragmatic.

In terms of playing a board game, it doesn't matter. I don't play with a D100 system, so increments of development when it comes to Power Armour don't really matter, its already an over-powered stat line with the oldest of suits on a D6.

Even now, in FO-4, Powered armor as it is more a cross between armor and 1man/woman vehicle, is a modifier of potency, the one in power armor is A) harder to hurt/kill, and B) can carry firepower that can destroy a squad or gang of raiders or less well equipped attackers.

Hey Wyrmalla, I'm doing an NCR themed Peacekeeper warband for This is Not a Test and I'm looking for suitable miniatures to represent the Sacrificial Lamb unit, which are essentially prisoners with bombs strapped to them. Have you done any powder ganger themed miniatures for Fallout before? Can you recommend any suitable miniatures?

The best I can come up with are the 40K themed Penal Guard by Victoria Miniatures, but they're

A) in heroic scale, and therefore drastically out of scale with the rest of my miniatures
B) only come with rifles, not melee weapons/pistols.

Bleh, I don't check these threads much.

The Victoria miniatures models are what jump out at me scale wise. Though that's if you want the chains. The arms are modular, so you could just swap them.

However generic 1950s thug models painted in the blue style prison uniforms would work as well; given that the guys in game are just wearing regular looking clothes.

There's the Foundry Street Wars range, or their 1930s stuff which should do. They have so many different style of gangs (including cyberpunk and post-apocalyptic) that something aught to do. Actually a mix of their 1930s gangsters, escaped convicts/ hockey mask wearing guys and their swap (with head swaps should do). Though some of their stuff is chunkier than others, and they are very 90s looking (but I have used some of their stuff myself).

Aye, but right now I'm working on my Alternative History WWII (...and beyond) stuff, so everything else is off the table currently.
