I've been making a a push to get my Sci-Fi City towards a place of "completion", as in finish the buildings and scenics I already have (which is more than enough to fill a table to be fair). The last two brick and prefab concrete stragglers have been done now.

A quick pointer\reference post, partially for myself.

I always have issues with fonts for signs, banners, etc for Sci-Fi Terrain, but I've come across the perfect site with loads of free cool fonts at dafont.com.

Many look ideal. I did a test install to my Windows 11 PC and it worked perfectly in GIMP. Simple.

Should be useful.

 

Something I've been wanting to do since starting my future city is to have some sort of video advertising board as part of the scenery. It has become a common enough sight in real life but is of course an iconic look for the Cyberpunk City of the future.

 A quick WIP post.

After being away on Holiday to the lovely North Wales coast, this last week hasn't seen me n the mood for painting, but I have been doing some easier focus work in the hobby shed in the form of putting together some mdf buildings that have been sitting around for a while.

OK, not really bollards, "Oh Arrest Points" doesn't have the same ring to it.

I've been a bit quite here as I've been making a bit of a push on my Sci-Fi City for Judge Dredd (and other games of course) and the buildings are a bit difficult to document. But here as a bit of street furniture I have 3D printed some arrest points (from Hayland Terrain here.) that were on a Humble Bundle I purchased a while ago.

The designs contain an arrest post and a block of shackle points, all containing activation lights. As designed they are actually a bit bigger than I printed them, but all the pictures I think of from 2000AD have the perps sitting on the ground with their hands bound at an awkward height, so this size seemed to fit the bill.

There's a new skirmish game in town called "Reign in Hell" where warbands (or Cabals) of demons battle each other. It looks great fun with some interesting mechanics - never mind the thought of all the cool models that can be put on the table!

With the Judge Dredd starter figures painted I'm needing a Mega City table to play them on.

With a few other non-gaming projects getting in the way it has taken a while to get these ruins completed, but finally they are.

Spare time is still a rare thing, but I've managed to add to my Barbarian scenery with this lovely solid resin Chieftain's hut from Templar Wargames. An obvious skull adorned front entrance and a more sneaky side windows\exit. Nice and easy to paint, with wood detailing for quick dry brushing.

As a note, the two guards in the picture are an Old Heroquest Barbarian and an out of focus Barbarian from Four A Miniatures.

I've still been struggling to get on with painting for the last whole, so I've decided to do something else for a bit. I'd found some printouts that had been put to the side of David Graffam's Wizard's House and Hovel designs and put to work getting them constructed. So far so simple.

More of a heads up than a proper post. In the UK discount store B&M has large "rustic mushrooms" in stock in their seasonal section for a meagre £3.99. Made of resin and prepainted, all they really need is a bit attention to the base, which looks a bit too hard. The example above is straight out of the shop. Ideal for those of us who want to adventure in a fantasy Forrest.

 And now for the terrain part of the 2017 project. First up we have a lovely Ainsty Castings Stone Circle set.

Update on my new pieces for a Wild West town. After showing you the Mine Wheelhouse building  I became a bit enthusiastic and ordered up the Burlesque and Shacks kits from TT Combat as well, but more of those later.

With Rogue Stars coming out in December my thoughts have part wandered towards Sci-fi gaming. For the game I have enough painted figures to put together a force or two, but terrain was slightly different. I wanted a change from the Industrial\Necromunda style and was presuming that the clean Infinity look was where I'd bee heading until someone on the Rogue Stars Facebook page shared the Infinity Neon Lotus Scenery Pack. For me this tied into the oriental feel that Blade Runner cultured and I knew it was a must buy. Especially as it costs around £8. And with Christmas conveniently approaching, well you can guess the rest!
