Thank you for the warm welcome everybody!

Maybe I get lucky with a release question here. I pre-ordered the Mirelurk Queen, I think about 2 years ago. Does anybody know when Modiphius will finally deliver the open orders on this one? Thanks!

That sounds like something went very wrong and you should contact Modiphius's support about it. I ordered the Mirelurk bundle that includes the Queen shortly after its release a few years ago and got it delivered within a few weeks. That bundle and the individual Mirelurk Queen are currently in stock on their webstore.

If you ordered it via retail there were several releases that got flagged for pre-order that, from what I understand, never were actually planned for retail release namely the Mirelurk queek and the Behemoth and turrets. I'm not sure who's fault this is but it's never been cleared up at least on the NA side of things.

If that was the case best to cancel and order direct. If you have a local store you want to support they can order it for you from Modiphius directly as well (assuming they want to create an account).

Thanks, guys. I cancelled my order with my local shop and ordered directly from Modiphius. This is one expensive model with shipping and tax.

It's quite a chunk of resin. One thing that does help to offset costs is the Modiphius reward points. I tend to use them to get free digital content.

Enclave set came in today, aside from that annoyingly thin and fiddly flash, great casts. Makes me wish I could remember where my stiff brush went, great tool for removing that stuff.

So question, the warrant officer model has a plasma rifle, but her card says she can only use pistols. Goof on their part, or has the card been updated since then?

Nothing official but since FWW is not WYSIWYG sculpts are never guaranteed to match skills. Most likely they changed things up after playtesting and changing the sculpt at that point would be expensive. From what we've heard about the upcoming release the local factory can be well along in production of the physical models before the final unit cards are all finished/approved.

Others swear it's just a modded plasma pistol as they can look similar to the rifles in FO4/76 with the right parts.

I hate what F4 and F76 are doing to the franchise.

Really excited for my T51s to show up any day now, especially with how good the overall quality of the resin is so far, aside from that fiddly flash that you really need a brush for to remove, no mold lines, no bubbles, no holes, this is on the same level as Artel W for me.

Also put in a test order with Modiphius for a Nuka Grrrl and NCR Ranger, to see if I don't have to pay extra taxes due to the B-word.

And did more dice chucking, slowly absorbing more and more of the rules, just don't ask me when I'll get around to painting this stuff, that part of the burnout is still very much present.

The weapon and armor modification systems they added with FO4 is one of the best things Bethesda has contributed to the series. Since it's a full FPS now, instead of the simulated one FO3 and NV were (ie you had a dice roll to see if you hit even if it should hit), the system allows you to really tweak weapons to how you like to play combined with perks this is a very good way of doing builds since the old skill system doesn't make sense with non-random combat. The gun and it's modes are now determining bullet spread, recoil, and other things that that use to be RNG based, from a signal skill number, and let the physics engine (and whatever else is needed) see if the bullet hits something or not.

Some weapons area always better for certain playstyles but there's alot more overlapping of roles now and some weapons lost a bit of their identity. Some pistols can become pretty good mid ranged rifle equivalents and get a similar look as you upgrade them which is why people suspect this.

Got the mirelurk queen last week and painted it up with all the rest of the bunch. Lots of fun!

Glad you were able to get some. Nice job on the paint as well.

Seconded. Looks really cool.

Thanks guys - i appreciate it!

It’s Brotherhood of Steel next. I have those models lying around for ages - and I really want to try that faction.

Jon is looking at doing a new player FAQ and I wrote up a lot of stuff on Reddit. Feel free to add comments there or here and I'll see about making adjustments based on feedback.

https://www.reddit.com/r/wastelandwarfare/comments/u259f9/help_me_build_a_sub_sticky_faq/

There's also areas I probably never thought of as I just based the questions off of what I see on reddit frequently.

Maybe this already counts as necromancy but I‘ll push some life into this thread

First, a pic of the BoS core box I did back in May.

And some new releases, notably the Deathclaw matriarch and the 2nd part of the Good Shepard campaign:

https://www.modiphius.net/blogs/news/fallout-friday-august-2022

Don't think they really care about necromancy in these discussion forums.

That's a nice looking starter set. Really like the power amor colors.

I've been taking a bit of a break from the hobby during the summer as I had painted something ever month for about 2 years and took the time to rearrange my hobby room slowly over those months (still have some work to do).

I just finished painting up some toy cards from a defunct car line called Dimestore Dreams that came up this spring on the FWW facebook group. They're pricy for what they are, $10-$12 for some up to $20 for others, but I got a few deals via bundles on ebay and I really like the designs (the convertible is awesome, just having painted the 2 I bought yet). Happy with how they turned out but man red is a pain to rust up.

It took me a second to make out the "Bill's" above "Television" on the van, and it made me wonder if that was the truck that delivered the TV signal!

Excellent work on the cars, though. The weathering is very nice, and they fit right into the setting. Why is it we only find out about these lines after they're discontinued? Oh, if only someone were still pumping out 4-packs of Marx Cars of the Future...

That is great work there Monkeysloth, think it fits in perfectly with the Fallout aesthetic.

It's been quite a while but I haven't really done much painting wise outside of a few smaller things like the raiders and APCs. I decided to start my holiday break project a bit early which is a modular river set for various games including fallout. I decided on a set from Infinite Dimensions as I liked the look and connectors they used. These are 3D printed parts and one thing that's great about 3D printing is kit bashing so I took a bunch of STLs from Modiphius and used them as junk in some of the river parts.

To fit the fallout "theme" and keep it usable for some other games I went with a fall theme which would still work for some of the other games and RPG I think and the flock is easy to remove if I ever decide I need something different.



I used some Vallejo texture paste for the dirt and then some Ammo water effect for the water (it's the clear acrylic paste but with dye) as I had the stuff for year and figured this would be a good use vs just a rein poor or UV resin for the water. There's a lot of detail on the prints for water so you don't need to do anything special if you just want to paint up the water and rocks there.

Here's a closeup of the 4 parts with Fallout junk in them.



Here's a sample layout with just the river.


So putting that together with some of my settlement stuff and I have almost a complete board I think. This is on a 4x4 mat so bigger then a normal game which means I could pull in some items for a bit less open space but since I have some RPG stuff here (NPCs) I think I need a few other things like defenses or such for FWW itself.





There's some built in crossing points so you don't need bridges either like the part with the Nuka Cola machine above as well as this stone crossing.



Bunch more shots in the spoiler tag below.

Sorry I am so late to reply here but that is absolutely fantastic work Monkeysloth. I just love all of the tiny details that make it look alive, it's almost like you could be looking at a scene from the game there. The guys playing chess/chequers and the detritus in the river are particularly stand-out elements.

Can I ask how are you getting on with the Wasteland Warfare RPG side, are you playing a campaign? A couple of gaming buddies have been collecting a few bits and we were thinking of giving it a go at some point.

No. While my group would be open to playing it I've been taking a break from GMing after being that role for almost 10 years. Some other guys are rotating through with one about to wrap up a game in the next 2-3 months and then another person wanting to run something.

I have been thinking about how to integrate the RPG more into FWW solo/co-op play. Jon keeps encouraging some of us on Discord to write up something and send it to him but I don't know if I'll ever get around to is as it's a lot of work to come up with something good. We'll see what the year brings.

Ok well if you do ever get a chance to I would love to see it! I've saved an image of your board above and sent it to my gaming friends as a prompt "we could try and do this sort of thing if we pull our fingers out!" Outstanding work.

Hey guys - just to give this thread a bump and check of any ongoing FO projects!

Has anyone got hold of the new T45 plastics? I had a look at them at Salute and they looked lovely.

I bought 2 boxes off of Amazon as they had some really good prices at launch but I've not assembled them yet as I really dislike assembling minis and dislike hard plastic kits because of the time they take to assemble. Not sure when I'll really get to them but with more of the line transitioning to plastics (4 more kits this year confirmed and 4 more next year, at the minimum, also confirmed) I'll eventually build them.

Yes I'm planning to do some of them at some point (possibly as Outcasts)

In the meantime just finished a single Raider guy, as an attempt to get back into painting the Fallout minis. This guy is from a range called Punkapolyptic, who do some really cool and characterful post-apoc/ganger type miniatures
https://www.badrollgames.com/shop/index.php?route=product/category&path=59
Most importantly, they scale and are similarly proportioned to the official FO minis.



A quick question - does anyone know of any vehicle rules for FO? I have a 'Lord Homoeroticus' mini (based off the bad guy in Mad Max 2, before you ask! ) and it seems a waste for him not to have some sort of V8 contraption to drive around in.

Nice. I know the line as I just finished two old, oop, punk Punkapolyptic minis amongst some others but I haven't been posting much as I've gotten tired of having to make and host images just for Dakka as the site doesn't support BBCode image resizing.

But I haven't posted anything in a while so I can spend some time here

these are the old BRG stuff before they changed their astheic to what it currently is. The guy with the axe is the old Ganger's Chief. Not sure who the sniper guy is as I had thrown away the blister last year to consolidate space.



This is a 3d printed "beast tamer" I did in one of those make and pose the mini apps as well as a Guild Ball figure



And a repainted Colossus I had gotten in a lootcrate (blind-ish subscription box).

Please do keep posting here Monkeysloth, love seeing your stuff and it motivates me to do my own!

That Colossus is incredible/horrible - is it something official from FO lore?

Really like the 'beast tamer' miniature too, very characterful.

yep. It's a boss creature from Fallout 76.

https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Wendigo_colossus

There's likely to be one from Modiphius released next year as wave 10 (next spring/summer) is shaping up to be a FO76 release and the Colossus has been hinted at.

Excellent - thanks mate!

That looks like it would be great to use as some sort of boss/final campaign game.

I finished off a Power Armour Raider. I wasn't too keen on the head that it came with, so swapped in a 'diving helmet' from Zinge Industries.
I really went OTT with rust effects and dusting, and tried to add some extra decals and other little bits to make it look a bit more punk!







I think I have posted this mini before, but the head from the Power Armour went onto the Vault Survivor model from the starter set. My theme for my Raider gang is going to be that it was formed by some Vault Dwellers that are strongly negative on the morality scale!
