I love the gun turrets, the world needs more observatories with massive cannons sticking out of them.

To give you an idea of scale, the square it's positioned on is 50mm x 50mm.

So roughly... 1/3 of 50mm, or 17mm?

2.2mm diameter for the core circular area.

I was hoping some of the STL files from the Troublemaker Games kickstarter would end up being cast in metal or resin one day so this is very promising. Their new plastics should be on the way soon and I can't wait to try it all out.

Hopefully this indicates that the monorail, towers, and industrial bits will make their way into the store at some point! All that stuff, combined with the new GW terrain will make every titanicus scale board look awesome.

Now we just need Gregster's Lab to figure out how to get a bit of their stuff from kickstarter projects into production and I will be able to make something amazing.

Did the cargo ship from the KS ever come out in resin?

I'd certainly like a few of them.

Earlier today I printed some of Troublemaker Games' STL terrain designs:







Very happy with the results! If anything, as I printed those without supports and directly on the building plate, I'd ask if it would be possible to have these designs without the little legs they have on the sides: those break really easily trying to pry them off the plate >_>. It would be great to have them without the legs and being able to print them separately.

Wow they turned out great! I would have loved to get the STL designs but know next to nothing about 3D printing. Are you planning on printing out the monorail at some point? That thing looked awesome...

Well, eventually I plan to print everything. Troublemaker Games' guys were kind enough to allow me to get some of the plastic sprues after the end of the KS, so I'll be wanting to spruce them up with these beauties

Let's hope this will allow that small company to go more experimental as well.

Looking at the angled walls



And GW's new Aztec pyramid

I am suddenly possessed with the desire to do a brutalist step pyramid fortress. No real need for one but oh it would be fun.

Sigh.

Maybe I'll get quarantined for a month, it's the only way I'll ever get through my backlog.

On a more serious note, how well do these panels but against each other? I found with the industrial set you really needed to join them as Ls, so I could make a T shape or an L but not two pieces against each other like this --

Does that make sense?

The triangles and buttresses are really good for connecting side-by-side panel joins.

And the angled walls actually slot into the notches on the triangles, so fit side-by-side perfectly.

Now I'm kinda hoping it takes a long while... I'm confined at my parents' home (so that I can help them) and it probably will be at least two weeks until things normalize a bit, so... it might be hard to go to the post office one town over >_>

*facepalm* I literally just kitbashed almost that exact mini for BFG using a Helian Cruiser prow and a 'CargoBull' hull from una-lagrima to make a Star Galleon for BFG. The farthest aft portion is different, but it's closer to BFG transports. I need to get painting it and post it here.

Though I used the Helian launch bays since star galleons are cruiser sized armed freighters from the FFG Rogue Trader game.
