nonPareil Institute 3D Prints: Battletech Hab-Block

Another 3d print today – and something from a slightly different genre. We have several of a print known as “Hab-Block” from a free set of STLs – the BattleTech Building Collection 01 by someone/a group called nonPareil Institute.

I’ve printed (and then painted) two each of the ones with hex bases and also no bases. I don’t feel like these are particularly “Hab-Block” like in their aesthetic, but I’m sure they’ll be totally fine on a tabletop.

Speaking of “on a tabletop” – as it happens, they look pretty reasonable as “large scatter” –  essentially LOS-blockers for infantry-sized models as well as very throwable pieces of tech if you’re a Marvel Crisis Protocol figure. They kind of look like semi-futuristic servers or something like that in this scale.

They also look entirely appropriate with more “Epic” scaled models. Which is a good thing! Even if they do seem a little small. Or odd in some ways (no doors!)

  1. They remind me of those weird features you sometimes see in city centres, where they’re trying to add a random feature to make the area look ultra modern, but not normally helped by the old style buildings surrounding it ! LOL You’ve done a great job on them, and they would probably look right at home in a plaza in Mega City 1

  2. This is an inspired subject for terrain and I think it demonstrates how versatile 3D printing is as stuff like this is hard to find on the market otherwise. The Habblocks will look great in Sci-Fi or superhero games too.
