Oh those are nice. And I'd point out not much to prevent using them in anything from BFG to 28mm games.

I just printed this off Thingiverse. Not sure of the correct size for NeoAT, it was supposedly scaled for classic Epic so I added 30%.

These might also be useful for Aeronautica Imperialis?

Novan Desert Stinger Platforms - £3.50

Stingers are static light anti-aircraft units that can be deployed almost anywhere. Consisting of a cruciform base mounting a weapons pedestal and operators catwalk, they provide low altitude anti-aircraft defence in the field as well as at military installations.

The most common weapons mounted are either twin heavy machine guns or twin light auto-cannon but other types of weapons are employed also.

Set consists of:

10 x Desert Stingers in two variants.

drop the human and yes.
more so since ground asset kit apparently is just as their "board", limited run only.

Why would you need to drop the gunner? Crewmen look nice and are in scale anyway.

Just looks wierd.

If you are doing a troop pickup missions where the plane needs to land then yea it is ok, but for everyting else, the ground assests should be tokens only as you cant realy see that stuff when you are 1km+ up in the air.

By that reasoning there would be no use for any 3d tokens and one should simply resort to card chits, but if they're already using models for the guns why not crew too?

And with crew they're better suited for other games like Epic or AT too

Im pondering about what other small terrain bits to design. Any suggestions?

Small buildings like warehouses, logistics parking lots, civic administrative offices, bio-domes or just small bits like fountains, park decorations, ventilation fans, solar panels and flying scifi cars to pretty up the scene?

Piles of wrecked cars and trucks?

Maybe military vehicles too?

Burned out cars are a stable of modern battlefields but usually absent from 40k. I imagine titans would just kick anything smaller than a baneblade out of the way.

after working on the manufactorum kit from GW, I think we need more power relays, chemical pools/vats, barrels, etc.

Gantry & walkways would also be appreciated.

https://vanguardminiatures.co.uk/shop/3mm-novan-cargo-lighter-b-in-flight/

That is a very light lighter; four crates seems like a 1-man vessel but the stylings of the bridge etc. make it seem like the vessel is built for a crew of hundreds of (tiny) people.

It depends on the size of the crates, each of those could be the size of a city block or larger.

While that is true, they are clearly styled on the same pattern as GW’s munitorum armoured containers, down to having a hinged ramp/door on the end with an apparent inspection hatch in what would be an extremely silly place on a building-sized pod.
It is really obvious and quite jarring, to me, is all.

Hrm I didn't notice the hatches. Easy enough to replace with some generic cylinders or something for BFG.

The ships themselves are meant for 3mm or 6mm IIRC.

Has there been any progress on making the Defeat In Detail 3mm Prefabricated Installation larger?

I know there was a hint or tease of something coming. If that were made in 8mm to 10mm, that would be an auto buy.

If you are talking about the Gregsters Lab stuff, it was all made in a 6mm scale a while back but I believe it is too cumbersome to ship so it never made a full retail release outside of the indigogo campaign.

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/modular-6mm-scale-bunker-system#/updates/all

They did another crowdfunded set of terrain plus some gigantic 6mm scale tanks which never saw a wide release also.

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/small-scale-wargame-terrain-by-gregster-s-lab#/

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/ultra-heavy-war-engines-for-6mm-scale#/

Personally I'd cough up a lot of cash to get those things shipped to me, they look fantastic! I wish I had gotten into 6mm gaming earlier just so I could have picked all their stuff up

IIRC Vanguard Miniatures were busy trying to stock up on some of Gregster's stuff, but it's indeed a tricky one.

Wasn't there a Void based 6mm kickstarter, Age of Empires or some such? Did that ever happen?

The Vanguard stuff seems about the best non-GW terrain out there at the moment.

I vaguely remember hearing about some sort of plastic terrain that the guys who make Dropzone Commander were supposed to have but I don't know what became of it. Too bad.

I'd like to add that Wasteland Game Studio also has some pretty sweet stuff. That being said, they're on a hiatus due to covid-19, luckily enough you can still get some of their stuff through Vanguard Miniatures: https://vanguardminiatures.co.uk/product-category/terrain/wasteland-game-studio/

Perhaps more useful for Aeronautica Imperialis?

I now know what I need for my airbase battlefield.

Microworld just came up in a thread about Man O War. They also do 6mm sci fi that might be useful.

https://www.microworldgames.com/collections/6mm-scifi

Just noticed that the 6mm version of Void called Age of Tyrants actually came out.

https://www.shop.scotiagrendel.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=217_219_253

6mm infantry and some cool giant tanks. The Junkers have a Roman Legion look to them.
