Whoops, suddenly realized I had my fora crossed....

Here's what I meant to put here:
What pieces of terrain would folks feel essential for a Fallout campaign?

Titan looks like a clear choice - for the construction of Vaults, if nothing else.

Some ramshackle shacks, a trailer or two, and a chem plant are already in my non-WWG terrain choices. A free downloadable version of the Disneyland sign will be useful for the Disneyworld cycles planned for the campaign. (The Darkened Tunnels, and the Guns of Splash Mountain....)

Some carnival/amusement park terrain would be good for The Freakshow, operating out of Gibtown. (Can you picture a Behemoth carrying a circus tent on his back? I knew you could. )

What am I missing?

On a related note - what minis are out there to represent denizens of the Wastes? For the opening scenario I used these little fellows:

Rabbit Swarm by Megaminis.com - for a critter that I titled Lepus Atrox, or what F.E.V. does to cute li'l bunny wabbits..

I can't quite put my finger on it, but this fellow looks familiar....

'Mega Mutant' by Reaper Miniatures.

Giant ants, scorpions, etc.. are easily available. Less available, giant roaches... though I think there are some plastic novelties.

The Auld Grump

@ those rabbits

If Only Tim were here to help us out.

We are arranging a Fallout London (been talking about it for a year now) and we planned just to use Paper Miniatures.

Yeah - One Monk has some nice ones for PA gaming.

One of the bad guy factions is being represented by these Wargames Factory miniatures:


The faction is called the Kreigers, led by an arms manufacturer named Johan Kreiger (Real name, John Miles). A nasty bunch of neo-Nazis, with ties to the Enclave. It is likely that the heroes will end up using a goodly amount of Kreiger gear after a while - the Kreigers have a definite edge over most faction, a ready supply of weapons and armor, training, and general logistics.

One of the downsides for the Kreigers is that their leader is not all that married to his cause - he sees them as a market for his weapons and a means to address his own agenda. He has a serious hate on for the Brotherhood of Steel. when Johan was a child (John, back in those days) his father and mother were killed to gain access to a 1911 copy of the Encyclopaedia Britannica. (Widely considered one of the finest encyclopaedias ever written.) (He may be a villain, but I agree with him on one issue - the Brotherhood are scum. For two hundred years they have been scouring the wastes for lost books and knowledge, but have otherwise accomplished nothing. Lyons over in Washington has the right idea.)

The Auld Grump

Awesome stuff. What system are you using? We are using GURPS for ours.

Spycraft 2.0 is the Grumps bread and butter. A fantastic system if I do say so myself... Too bad my group never got into the crunch. For some reason they thought it would be a good idea to play it loosey goosey with the rules...

Sacretis, no, Im not bitter at all...

Yep - SC 2.0 - good for any action/adventure style gaming. A bunch of Qualities to fit the setting

Of course GURPS was going to be the official Fallout RPG, once upon a time, but Mr. Jackson did not like the violence inherent in the system. (Help, help! I'm being repressed!)

The Auld Grump, who left this reply open over night....

I could recommend these rules:

http://deathsquads.tabletopgeeks.com/fi ... 0.5.1b.pdf

Dusting off the Fallout campaign... again....

Picking miniatures for the setting is entertaining - at this point most come from Mega Minis -


Demo Bot - kind of pricey, but a good look for the setting. Several variants - those shoulder pads are optional, and one of the claws can be replaced with a weapon. I am doing two, one without the shoulder armor and with two claws - a cargo mover pressed into combat duty, maybe. The other will have have the armor, a weapon, and only one claw.


Folks who have been to the Pitt will recognize this weapon....


Wardroid 1 - I may modify this into a Robobrain.

Standing in for Mr. Handy is a Security Drone.


Cyclops Mining Rig - May be a good choice for a Sentry Bot, or I may split him in two. Lower chassis for RoboBrain, and cobble three wheeled legs for adding to the torso to make a Sentry Bot.

Lauck, who owns Mega Minis is slowly liquidating his molds, so you may want to get anything you want from them before all that much longer. While the molds are being sold, not destroyed, tracking down where the figures have gone might be a nuisance.

WotC Chuuls are being considered for Mirelurks, Mantic Zombies and Ghouls for Feral Ghouls, more civilized zombies from all over for your standard Ghoul Around Town.

The Auld Grump

Yep, Chuuls will do for Mirelurks -

Image from Auggie's, where I may be getting what I need/ want.

Not perfect, but they'll do.

Brotherhood of Steel is easy, as are Enclave - power armor and scary looking power armor.

Harder is wondering how to cover a frozen Walt Disney....

The Auld Grump

Get a miniature that looks good enough, put it in a casket and fill it with clear/bluish tinted resin?

Dude I need those miniatures for my roborally game.

I just bought Fallout 3: game of the year edition again. PS3 this time. I love fallout, they should make more games like it. Oblivion.. Skyrim.. New Vegas.. I need more.

The Pandora King figure from Crooked Dice looks nice painted up in a Vault dweller's jumpsuit.


The Boilersuited Minions, with human heads, from the same company can also fit.


There are also boilersuited figures from Artizan and Copplestone Castings.

One monk has some post-apocalyptic stuff if you like standees.

Perfect! I'd have to add Pipboys, but that would be easy, even for a fumble fingers like me!

Now for a figure of Ron Perlman - War.... War never changes....

The Auld Grump

Raiders and Wastelanders....

Lead Adventure Miniatures has a nice line of PA warriors -

Witches of the Apocalypse (Lead Adventures, available through CoolMiniOrNot.Com )

They also have a line of PA Merchants coming out -


***

Hersy has a line that might *cough, Orlock, cough, cough* seem familiar -

Trenchcoat Gang by Heresy. Oddly, one of those fellows has been pressed into service as a Mage in Steampunk. One of the bald ones.... Pretty much all the likely FO3 weapons are represented.

They also make a particularly nasty line of ghouls -

Including one that is eating a baby.

The Auld Grump

I've been searching a lot as well.

Taban Miniatures has a line called EDEN: Surviving the Apocalypse. They are a bit on the $pendy side but they look great.



eM4 Miniatures has a line called Future Skirmish that looks good. Strangely they look similar to Copplestone Castings Future Wars Although I have not seen any duplicate poses, the models armor on some are identical.

Abberant Games Rezolution has CSO Peace Keepers which would make good power armor



CP Models have some Trench Warfare models that could work


Urban Mammoth has some good miniatures as well, but I noticed that they have pulled their online store for the moment for their second edition rules/models.

Pig Iron Productions also has a few good lines of miniatures

View their gallery here

Yeah, I have been considering the Rez figures for BoS.

Reaper has this charming fellow -


Drop the crossbow and give him a hunting rifle....

Now if Mel would do a Vertibid....



The Auld Grump

For the Survivors of the Wasteland including the Gangers have a look at the eM4 Future Skirmish primarily Savages and the Scavengers. For an armed Vault Dweller you also have Dionne from Hasslefree. Cor regular citizens of the wastes (or those around New Vegas) get some Pulp minis wearing the suits and fedoras for the men and dresses (not the Flapper outfits though) for those wearing Prewar clothing. As for a group like the NCR maybe eM4 Troopers and Para Military (the Para Military to represent officers), if you wanted to do Fallout 2 NCR cops then the eM4 cops would fit the bill.

And of course the Future Warriors line by Copplestone continues to be excellent, if no longer expanded upon.





Available through Mirliton

And Future Wars at Copplestone Castings.



The Auld Grump

I found the mother of all miniatures



The Mono-Bot does not appear to be as large as a securitron should be, but I think it would still be worth getting at £3.00 each!


From Blueiron Photography which has some amazing street tiles and Paper buildings

Fouraminiatures has this great Mirelurke King



It may not be a Giant Scorpion Robot but this model from Mirlitonwould work!

Wow, so many great looking minis, must have! Thanks for posting the Arachnodroid mini, I've got to pick that up first, will work as a clock work contraption for my weird west campaign!

could this work for the vertibird?

http://www.rcwonders.co.uk/shop/product/128/


at least it reminds me a v-22

Enjoy the break that refreshes - crisp, delicious, Radioactive! Nuka Cola! Both regular and Quantum will be available.

The Auld Grump

Would these minis be suitable?

http://www.pig-iron-productions.com/

S.T. 1 is what I use for BoS.



The Auld Grump

Anyone have any ideas for the vehicles in Fallout? I swear there were similar toy vehicles, back in the 1950s or 1960s, but.... Maybe Buck Rogers?

The Auld Grump

Here you go mate!!

Heh, not the ones that I was thinking of at all, but those are great Corvegas!

The ones I was thinking of were solid plastic, maybe Bakelite? Closer to those three wheeled spacey looking one seaters.

I ordered the Corvegas right away, hopefully they are close enough to scale.
