Roadkill Faction for Gaslands - part 2

 

Here's the newest addition to my Roadkill faction for Gaslands. Again, inspired by the Mad Max - Fury Road movie and Xbox game, this vehicle holds more punch than its compatriots. It's another Hot-Wheels car, this one is meant to look meaner than its two friends.

The mine-layer at the back comes from the Friends-of-Gaslands weapons sprue and the roller-ram at the front is from an Ork vehicle from the Epic 40k game by GW.

The spikes are just two toothpicks, trimmed to size, and superglued to the wheel arches of the vehicle.

I was going to add a yellow inner flame to the red flame, but it just looked cooler the way it did. So I've left it as is.

MDF Shipping Containers from TTCombat

 

These containers (I currently have three assembled and painted) are very nice MDF models from TTCombat. You can find them on their website as Intermodal Containers and are pretty easy to assemble. The doors can be set to be able to open as required or be sealed shut.

They are 28mm in scale but are useful for Gaslands. I'm currently using them for both Gaslands and for my homegrown Post-Apocalyptic d20 roleplaying game. Hence the rusted paint job.

Roadkill Faction for Gaslands

 

In a nod to the Max Max Fury Road Xbox game, I decided to create a few factions for use in Gaslands. The first one will be the Roadkill faction. This mob is basically a loose affiliation of savage hoons who can be found on any road within the game. So here are the first two vehicles for that faction.

These are Matchbox 1933 Ford Coupe's with fuel tanks added to their boots (like in the Xbox game), and with some additions to make them souped up (e.g. exhaust). I repainted them as a bright colour to make them stand out on the table.

The rams on the front of each vehicle are plastic weapon ends from GW's line of The Hobbit: Goblin Town Goblins axes. I had cut these off the goblin model for another purpose and found that they made nice little nasty rams for these vehicles.

Now on the more heavy hitting vehicle for this faction.
