Dirtside II Stats for Brigade Models Vehicles (AmRep)

I've been a long-time fan of both the Dirtside II 6mm sci-fi gaming rules and Brigade Models' 6mm sci-fi vehicles, so it was a natural thing to combine the two and come up with stats for Brigade's models to be used in DSII.  I did so over ten years ago, before PhotoBucket decided to launch their premium model by wiping out millions of existing images.

So here we are again!  First up:

American Republic (AmRep)

 

MicroFleet: Triplanetary

The usual disclaimer:  Triplanetary is currently the property of Steve Jackson Games.  The below content is mine alone and doesn't represent any official position, endorsement, etc., by SJG.  Please don't sue me.

Back in 1973, Games Designers' Workshop released an innovative space combat game called Triplanetary, which was designed by Marc Miller of Traveller fame.  After GDW closed its doors, Steve Jackson Games picked up the rights to Triplanetary and re-released it through a 2018 Kickstarter.

Last summer, I got a request from a fan of the game to design miniatures for the game using my MicroFleet bases, which are 1/2" across and could be used on both the original map and the 2018 version.  The fun part of this project is that I had to work from nothing but silhouettes:

For me, this means that I had some freedom to innovate within the bounds of the top-down silhouettes.  Here's what I came up with.

First, a group shot with a US quarter, a British Pound coin, and a Euro penny.

First, the combatants.  You'll note the ball turrets;  the number of turrets corresponds to the ships' Combat Strength, for ease of visual reference.

Next, the auxiliary ships:

And finally, the markers, which includes mines, nukes, torpedoes, and lifeboats:

These will eventually be available for sale (without using the trademarked Triplanetary name) as printable STLs on my MiniHoarder and CGTrader pages.

Just a 15mm sneak peek

I've been busy with a ton of commission work lately, but I've still been plugging away on a few vanity projects here and there.  This is a sneak peek of a 15mm-scale project that's finally moving along.  This will be the base for a number of variants, of course.  The plan is to make it available through both Shapeways and CGTrader.

EDIT:  A few more pics of the base model and a few of the fire-support variant.

6mm Imperious Falcata Superheavy Tank

I actually started on this a couple years ago, and just recently finished it up.  It's now on CGTrader and will eventually be up on Shapeways.

6mm Imperious Dreadnotmuch

By request, here is a new build that will be available on CGTrader fairly soon.
