Gearing Up for a Post-Apocalyptic Campaign

We're planning to run a post-apocalyptic wargame campaign this fall, so I thought this would be a good opportunity to clear out my terrain backlog. I've had a few unpainted resin pieces kicking around for the better part of a year, it's was time to get 'em painted up.

First we have a small ruin made from a cut-up plastic tray, like the kind you might use for pencils on your desk. It was painted and based on a CD to make a small, serviceable terrain piece.

Next up is a Kryomek laser defense turret that I picked up at an auction for a few bucks. It's a multi-part resin and metal kit, and as you can see it looks pretty cool on the table. It's based on a CD and I deliberately avoided giving it the traditional dirty post-apocalyptic paintjob. I wanted it to serve double duty in our sci-fi games if needed. (The turret rotates separately atop the base.)

Lastly we have this junk pile. It's a single piece of resin that I painted, dipped and based on an oblong piece of fiberboard. It will be a great piece of grimy wreckage for our tabletop.

On the workbench right now (and hopefully appearing in a future blog post) are some dirt barricades, an industrial drain pipe and a medium-sized urban ruin. Keep an eye out for 'em soon!
