Hm... a bit of modelling with 'wooden boards' and 'sheet metal' to plug up all the holes, and one could possibly use those ruins on an Infinity table.

This reminds me a unit of a Computer Real-Time Strategy game known as KKND 2.

You can find its info here:

Looks like I snagged the last one they had on hand.

I haven't received it yet, but I do have a legit postal tracking code.

Has anyone been able to find the other sets from the Russian site? My friends and I are wanting to start Necromunda, and this plus Hexagon terrain are perfect!

Should fit:

I talked to my local distributor for Zvezda stock, and he has said that the futuristic stuff like the Starship Troopers and crab tank are no longer being made.

How true this is, I don't know, but it is rather unfortunate. Would have loved some to go along with the upcoming Deep Wars units.

If anyone else has better info, or an idea where some of these things can be bought, I'd be very interested.

New modular terrain by Tehnolog (20$):

**Sidstyler**

I forgot all about the giant mechanical crab.

Don't really like the new terrain set, though.

**Commander Cain**

Terrain would be great if it could make its mind up if it is sci-fi or fantasy! As it is, it kinda reminds me of He-Man for some odd reason.

**Jehan-reznor**

Awesome stuff, i wished they had a western distributor

100% agreed.
To me, the building looks like someone said, "What if we made a whole building out of nothing but doors?"
And someone else said, "Yeah! And, on one wall, the door will have a door IN IT."
Then, they both said, "Cool!" and had another toke.

I own a few sets of the Tehnolog medieval castles and they are indeed a bit small for the Citadel scale, perhaps more Skaven-sized than human sized. Looks a bit awkward with Citadel minis, I plan to use foam to level-up the castles a bit. Nice quality though, despite being very complicated and needing lots of glue to assemble (all pieces have a specific side to be assembled, which is not obvious to the naked eye, and the instructions are in russian though with several pictures...) I haven't finished building the sets up yet, lots of work.

**Clang**

I don't mind the techno-medieval feel to the new scenery at all. A certain company with the initials G and W do the same, but at least Tehnolog don't cover everything in skulls as well.

As with previous Tehnolog releases, the biggest weakness for me is the clip-together look. I realise it's a selling point for some customers - "yay, I can assemble and reassemble without glue" - but the result always looks overly toy-like. However, when converted into permanent buildings with the clips chopped off (thus requiring gluing the walls onto a plasticard undershell/frame), it can look great.

Yes, it fits the new Chaos Space Marine releases perfectly

**livanbard**

They got some nice centaurs and in one of the OP modular sets some girls models come. I could use that.

I found this ebay seller Top-rated seller
nuyskovalex (799)

**MadCowCrazy**

Someone needs to tell me if these are comparable to Sisters of Battle!
When searching for a seller I came across an ebay store in Russia saying the minis are 1/48 Scale, how does that compare to 28mm Heroic?

**SorataZ**

I wonder about that too.

And does anyone know the size of these things?

Short answer no.

Long answer. From the previous images i have found the models looks around 54mm high in plastic but the terrain looks useable.

Gimme a tick to find pics....

From our very own dakka here is a pic of some robogear which scales with it almost completely.

**Eilif**

Spoiler:

That's my pic in the post above.

The Technolog/Robogear stuff scales well for vehicles and terrain (mostly) but the figures are about 40-45mm. 1/48 (much taller than 28mm, which is technically 1/56) is probably pretty close to what they actually are, but I don't trust the russian scale notations much.

The one in the pic is a pilot. The trooper figures have heads and separate torsos that scale well with 40k, but the arms and legs are way too long. I've heard that some of their newer sci-fi figs are even bigger.

Their fantasy figs range widely from much too small, to just about right, to way too big.

I've purchased from the Velard ebay site many times and always had good service. It's my go-to site for robogear.

They have very low shipping rates, but they do it by throwing out the box and putting your stuff in a grocery bag and shipping in a padded mailer. Fine for me, but just so you know.

It says it's in stock at their non-ebay store, but that might be wrong.

Either way, I wouldn't worry too much about it. When stuff goes out of stock, it usually returns in a few weeks. If you show interest, it might be sooner. I emailed her about the Robogear "Condor" (sort of a chibi vendetta) when it went out of stock and it showed up a couple weeks later. It's one of the only Ebay stores I sign up to recieve email updates about.

Hey, here are a couple of images of what i'm working on with a few of the scorched city kits

I bought 3 kits and i loved them so i have bought 6 more and am waiting for some decent time off to get building!

they work really well imo and look the goods for cheap terrain, I'm planning on building an entire settlement of just low hab village housing!

**Azazelx**

I was just about to post on how good that terrain looks, and then noticed - it's you again!

Bloody hell.

**usernamesareannoying**

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

Thanks for the link Kroothawk,

one to save for later

**nerdfest09**

Lol, yep that's it! just printed out and white glued them on and washed with ink, just adds a little bit of pizazz to the buildings as they lack drybrushable detail.

**RiTides**

I received my 3 catapults, here is a pic of the sprues for 2 of them (so you can see the front and back):

It didn't come with printed out instructions (and was in a padded envelope, hence the cheap shipping, but arrived just fine!) but here is an online pic of how to assemble it:

I went ahead and ordered 3 cannons from their online webstore after communicating with them via email (they said they had 3 in-stock and would ship next day). So far, I've been very pleased, and felt safe enough using Paypal (and my credit card as the funding source, just in case).

Pretty darn thrilled to be getting these things at $6 a pop and only $5 shipping for all 3 together, it's quite a deal, imo! Will post when I've received the cannons, too.

**Commander Cain**

It is plastic? Even cooler! I see a spring in those instructions, does that mean that the thing actually works?
