As a support element for the generic space dudes, I modified and painted up a Crossbow model from Talon Games / C.A.V. It's roughly 1:160th/10mm, but CAV is pretty loose with scale. I've got one more I want to turn into a crash marker for when it gets shot down and plows into the dirt. The canopy was a third try I'm finally happy with. I tried some shortcut techniques but just aborted and did it the long (correct) way instead.#wargaming #miniaturepainting #minipainting #miniatures #wargames

@lextenebris Is there an RSS feed somewhere for that site? I'd love to see new articles if possible.Steel Rift looks to be one of our games for the next quarter, and I've been trying to convert my Heavy Gear models into the system while staying WYSIWYG and reasonably close to their original roles. I'm a little worried I'm going to wind up undergunned and overarmored. There is also a fierce debate going on about terrain density, but when isn't there?

@lextenebris I see what you mean about the feed. I'll take a gamble and see how my reader handles it, but also am following you here.My scratch pad notes for a simple trial game at 150T look about as follows:Jagers (30T) - Reinforced ARM + STR, Autocannon, Rocket Pack, Melee, Ablative Armor, Heavy Reactor, TDIguana (20T) - Shot Cannon, Optical Camo, ECM, TD2x Iguana for Recon, 3x Jager for Fire Support, and some OTS artillery with Authority faction for lots of extra ammo.#SteelRift

@lextenebris I'm probably misunderstanding Redlining. The TD are very purposefully on the Jagers though. OTS requires TD to fire, and having only two in flimsy lights means a bad roll or two shuts them down entirely. Having TD on everything means there's no single targets to knock out, it takes a crosshair off the Iguana.
