Preparing a table in the presence of my enemies

 

Work has been pretty insane of late and so my poor old hobby blog hasn't seen much love. But keeping on the post-apocalyptic theme, I purchased the excellent skirmish game This Is Not A Test from Worlds End Publishing. A few pdf downloads later and a trip to Officeworks to get the main book printed and I was being inspire in my Fallout universe tabletop gaming journey.

For my roleplaying group I had purchased some excellent MDF scenery from Dark Castle Terrain (also sold on eBay) and decided to add a few more bits to play This Is Not A Test.

A couple of gaming mats, some 1:43 scale 1950's style vehicles from eBay, a whole bunch of miniatures (more than I can possibly hope to paint right now) and before I knew it, I had spent too much money. Anyway, here's the table so far. Still have lots of little scenery additions I would like to add to the buildings to make them look more post-apocalyptically lived in. But have a look and see what you think.



Dark Castle Terrain's bank. Also usable as a general store, I recon. That looks like a good objective marker to fight over.








Highpoint tower, a good sniper location to view the entire table from.




The pond. Fresh water to fight over.






The little pond is my first foray into using resin to make some water terrain. It was an experiment that actually worked out, much to my amazement. Now all I need to do is rough up those structures with rubble and rubbish and weather effect the vehicles. That should only take the rest of the year.
