Just mdf, then sprayed chalky charcoal, then light dry brush of texture paint (which doesn't show in the pics) then couple of layers of clear matt varnish to stop the sand rubbing off.
As i didn't know how many people were going to be at the Convoy mission i figured i should have a spare set of roads. Didn't end up needing it.
Am vaguely contemplating making a whole bunch more as they're super-easy and super-cheap, but can't really find a reason for them.
Next month i'm hoping to have a Titan Showdown vs another local and i'm thinking i'll probably use these roads as a side-to-side road and then use my pretty roads to create a 'urban'/building area in the middle. With titans you REALLY want things to hide behind... tall things.
The new roads don't have lines and will represent a bypass of the urban area.
Am actually looking forward to setting up a fancy table for that game.
Secondly (and lastly), finished off and boxed my converted Eversor Assassin.
Not 100% happy with the model but it will do, and better than having the whole 'wall' feature attached.
This guy will be a option for Blackstone. I gave him a trial run a couple of weekends ago on a randomly drawn combat map.
The rules suggest playing him as a solo character (no other explorers on your side).
He was up against two squads of traitor guard, and one of negavoltists (and a twist).
The first game he got cornered and shot to pieces.
The second game he managed to win.
This came down to luck of the dice and not overwhelming combat superiority.
Don't get me wrong he's probably better than the majority of the explorers, but even the add back of dice didn't keep the enemy out of range.
I was not able to get him inspired, which may have helped.
Just from this limited experience i'm thinking that maybe he'd be as suited to maybe replacing 2 explorers if running a proper campaign. I don't think he'd be able to run a full campaign end to end by himself, it would be more a case of how far can he get before he gets axed.
Certainly a fun little twist to add to the game.
Until next time...
