So, after reading through the Blood in the Void Zone Mortalis supplement it got me wanting to play through one of these mini-campaigns myself. With the store already having a Zone Mortalis board present, all that remains is to find some suitable models to represent the various objectives and stratagems one can deploy.

What I'm looking for are suitable small terrain pieces or the like to represent the following:

DRIVES - I need at least six to represent nodes or capacitors or the like crucial to the running of the drives of the ship. So far I've come across these: http://www.antenocitisworkshop.com/fueling-points-x6.html
AUGUR ARRAYS - Terminal banks, consoles and the like, I need five of these.
WEAPON BATTERIES - A 4" x 4" terrain piece representing either a firing mechanism for a massive weapon, a munitions lift or the like.
LIFE SUSTAINERS - At least 8 28mm base sized objects of sorts to represent things like gas conduits, pressure seals, rad-sinks and air scrubbers.
SHIP'S BRIDGE - A 2" x 2" or 4" x 4" terrain piece representing the command throne of the ship. So, I'm looking for small consoles and a captain's chair or command seat of sorts that can be put together on a small square base.

I'm also looking for a suitable terrain piece, or a cheap kit, that can be converted into, or used as a boarding torpedo, around 4" wide, with a big hatch of sorts, that can snugly fit into one of the wider (two grids) corridor sections, to serve as a insertion / extraction point for an attacking force.

Finally, I'm looking for suitable models to represent the following stratagems:
DEVASTATION DRONE - "Compact, man-sized and quite sturdily constructed, some mounted on heavy track units, others on anti-grav plates." These are basically bombs used to remove doors and bulkheads from the game.
MURDER SERVITOR AUTO-CLADE - A squad of three melee servitors equipped with crude close combat weapons, preferably something other than arco-flagellants.
VOIDSMEN GANG - A squad of six crewmembers clad in bulky spacesuits and equipped with either shotguns, or pistols and melee weapons, pressed into service as a desperate last-ditch attempt at fighting off enemy boarders.

I unfortunately cannon help with any of these. But I wish you luck. This sounds awesome! Definitely post pictures as you work on this project

Are you looking exclusively for premade terrain or are you willing to make things?
I'm working on some similar sorts of terrain. For instance "Drives" I got some dirt cheap toy "light sabers" that I plan on building into something resembling the Star Trek Next Generation Warp reactor as a vertical column with maybe some pipe coming off to make it a more stable fixture.

For things like Augur Arrays I've collected an assortment of pieces from the Rhino and Land Raider kits with all the monitors and displays that aren't actually necessary to complete those kits and thus generally left off and available if you ask around.

Weapon batteries I think it'd be easy to use the "Wall of Martyr Vengeance Weapons Battery"

For things like "Life Sustainers" I use with my Zone Mortalis the "Promethium Relay Pipes."

I've got nothing against converting things, as long as it is both affordable and locally obtained in case of toy suggestions. It also has to fit into the Zone Mortalis board, so the weapons battery may be a bit too big for this.

But I'll certainly be looking into the promethium pipes, not a bad idea!

The Devastation drone really sounds like FW"s Cyclops Demolition vehicle... you could probably convert these from any small tracked Hotwheels, Matchbox, or micromachine type toy tanks... or even just some cheap flames of war tanks.

Murder Servitors... I think you could easily convert something from the Mechanicus Electro-priests. For something not GW, you might consider some Warmachine Cryx Mechanithralls... similar concept a little more undead looking.


Voidsmen Gang... I think these are generally the hardest thing... as silly as it seems, no one really does sci-fi ship crews in space suits. I think the power armored Puppet's War miniature have a distinctly utilitarian look, that if coupled with the right helmet might work for you. They carry a good variety of heads.

Cheers for the suggestions, but just to chime in, I won't be using a Cyclops to represent the devastation drone, seeing as my army already uses one of those, so to avoid confusion and whining from some opponents, I think it best to not do that.

But I'll certainly look into the Crapmachine minis (if they're affordable enough) and the resins.
