Legions Imperialis Alpha Legion Land Raiders and Rhinos 3D Prints

Well, it’s about time I got back to posting stuff up, so here’s the start of the stuff completed from between October-December 2025. During my latest hiatus I was painting a lot less, but I still got some stuff done now and then. First to show are a few more 3D printed tiny tanks for Legions Imperialis. Not that many of them – just a half dozen. But it is a little more towards eventually getting to play.

As with the last LI prints I showed, I’ve had these files on my drive for years now – PROTIP: Always download the free STLS you think you might want to print down the line, even if you don’t have the means to do so right now. Particularly if they’re …inspired by an IP owned by a large company (and not just the one you’re thinking of!)

I do have a whole bunch more of these to get both started and finished, but these are the ones I got done in the last quarter of 2025. I’m not sure if I’ll set them up in units with the top door markings or not. I’ll figure that out later on!

September Monthly Round-Up (Season of Scenery: Extended Edition)

Another way overdue round-up here. I’ve actually had these photos sitting on my drive for months ready to go, but frankly I just wasn’t feeling up to posting. You know how it gets sometimes when posting on your blog feels more like work than hobby or fun? Yeah, that. I guess I finally got all the individual updates done and then burnout hit and I didn’t force myself to write this post when I “should” have. I mean, mid-October is when work becomes much more intense running through the rest of the year until the week before/of Christmas, and I do tend to disappear in November, so it tracks.

Anyway, it turns out I managed to paint a very decent amount of stuff in September before dropping off. The focus still largely being on Nu-Epic/Battletech scaled terrain, but with a bit of extra variation and finishing off of other things.

One thing I particularly like about a lot of these terrain pieces is their versatility. A lot of this stuff primarily aimed at the tiny-mans scale still works okay right up to heroic 32mm or even the 40mm Crisis Protocol/Shatterpoint scale. A while back, Frank the Tankfanboy asked to see a cityscape photo of my tiny buildings – I still haven’t gotten one and still have more work to do to get one I’m going to be happy with (more terrain to finish) but hopefully these shots will suffice in the meantime of a weird looking outpost surrounded by mesas and patches of broken ground!

The focus in September remained very much on terrain for Dave Stone’s Season of Scenery (Extended Edition) which culminated in the return of the Prodigal Sun as Dave was absent for some time for personal reasons – returning from his blogging break pretty much just as I dropped out. As it happens, EVERYTHING I completed in September counted towards it!

So what did I manage to complete in September 2025?

In all, I completed:

Fabricator’s Lair’s: Botanicae building, 8x Generators, a “1×2 Medium A” building/segment, a 2×4 Medium Building and a 2x of 2x2x2 silos, Grimdark Industrial Promethium Reprocessing Factory and Grimdark Industrial Forge.

Wargame Forge’s Ruined Gothic Cathedral, nonPareil Institute’s Power Generator, and a family of 9x variously (re)shaped and (re)sized Propane Tanks by Syllogy.

9x Tinnut BattleTerrain Rough Terrain Tiles, 11x Thunderhead Studios Hextech Hills, a 20th Century Fox logo by Isekai Heavy Industries.

2x signs from AMG’s Marvel Crisis Protocol Cosmic Terrain Pack (I need to do a group shot once I figure out where the other elements have gone!), the Beastman Herdstone for AoS/ToW from Citadel and 6x GF9 Battlefield in a Box Sandstone Rock Outcrops.

57 total. Unless I’ve miscounted.

Oh, and there’s also a little subway entrance piece from Fabricator’s Lair that got missed. You can see it between the Botanicae, Industrial Forge and one of the Propane Tanks near the Fox Logo. So 58. Not too shabby for a single month’s work!

Not too bad a haul. Looking at it all together, one realisation does occur. There are no “miniatures” in there at all. No humans or humanoids, or even any vehicles. It’s all scenery and terrain.

Last time we did this, I’d counted a total of 338 models completed, so adding in this September haul the new total comes to 396, so that’s the “365” target well and truly broken in 2025.

I have also done some painting since I last posted, so once I’ve had a chance to take some new photos, I’ll start posting the October-November-December stuff and do a combined round-up for those models. It may or may not start before the New Year because we’re still in the Family Obligation Fortnight for a couple more days and then there’s other important things to get done once the period of seeing people is finished up – you know how that goes this time of year… I was crawling around on the roof fixing things this morning – not fun!
