Mines, Bombs and Boobytraps

 I am in the process of assembling a lot of smaller pieces of characterful terrain to give my tabletop gaming a little more visual interest and to function as encounter markers, scenario objectives etc.  Trixie and the Zombie Crows are other parts of the same project.

With that in mind I picked up the limited editon box of Mines, Bombs and Boobytraps that GW released in conjunction with their Planetstrike promotion this summmer.  I have very little interest in ever playing Planetstrike but this little set was too cool to pass up.

 I got the lot (22 pieces) painted up over the course of an evening in front of the TV.  They provide interest on the table and look good I think.

I have been putting together some scenery for gaming with recently.  Not a lot of big items, mostly just premade bits and pieces like GW craters and other similar stuff.  In particular I have been getting together some small terrain markers to serve game purposes such as enounter markers, denoting radioactive or toxic areas, scenario objectives etc, a bit like the Zombie Crows from a little while back.  Trixie above fits nicely under “scenario objectives”.

Trixie is promotional resin figure available from Ramshackle Games.  They have loads of cool post-apocalyptic stuff for good prices.  Recommended.
