Wargame Forge 3D Prints: Tech Cult Storage Tank – Intact/Ruined/Destroyed versions

Wargame Forge 3D Prints: Tech Cult Storage Tank

More terrain today that had been waiting for the Oil Wash sessions at the end of last month for their completion. These are paid-for STLs from Wargame Forge over on MyMiniFactory.

Pretty straightforward painting method overall: Filler Primer, Primed Black, Sprayed with either Citadel’s Leadbelcher or Vallejo’s Gunmetal (I fogot which, preobably Vallejo). I then overpainted the red panels which I later stippled a subtle highlight onto. These will fit in very nicely with the other “Admech/Mechanicum” themed terrain I completed last year.

Then it was applying the Decals – which I took from some Admech and Mechanicum kits and a gloss varnish. (Much) later on it was time for oil wash part 1 (black/brown) and then aweek later part 2 (shades of orange/rust). Then a few days later, spray varnish to seal it all in and done.

Something I do like about these is that they’re pretty scale-agnostic. Now obviously being STL files, they can be embiggened as much as you like (or can fit on a build plate) – but even printed at Battletech Gothic scale, they still work ok with a variety of other models, scales and genres, as you can see in these photos.

I only printed one of the intact version. Perhaps I should have done two so I could have a larger refinery area on the board? I was thinking it’s too late as these are all finished, but I guess it wouldn’t be hard to print another one of these and the painting process wasn’t horrible – the biggest issue being getting the desk cleared for Oil Washing (and later, photography!)

These models are also pretty scale-agnostic as well. I’ll get some scale shots with models next to them up in a forthcoming post. And yet again, these were completed during the timeframe of Dave Stone’s Paint What You Got Challenge 25-26 – so have another shoutout, Dave!

Here’s something new, though perhaps not as exciting as it might otherwise have been. It’s the “Assets and Hazards” pack for GF9’s “Aliens: Another Glorious Day in the Corps!” miniatures board game. Unlike most miniatures boardgames outside of Games Workshop’s products, the Aliens board game uses miniatures on HIPS sprues rather than preassembled PVC models. It’s also completely unaffiliated with the clusterfuck of an Aliens/Predator miniatures game put out by Prodos years ago.

So anyway, I picked up this box of scatter a year or two ago when GF9’s Aliens game line came back into availability after being OOP for several years. So then naturally, the box sat around for ages until I finally started working on it in January.

I assume that the different pieces all replace card counters in the actual boardgame, though crates and even the computer terminals also will have a potential for use in a lot of other games. The sentry guns would also work for ..well, anything non-GW, since GW games always feature ridonculously sized guns and barrels.

The eggs and facehuggers are a bit more niche. Maybe Zombicide: Invader or Project: Elite? Though those facehuggers are as fragile as they look!

Yet again, these models count towards Dave Stone’s Paint What You Got Challenge 25-26, and also count towards Anne’s 2026 Miniature Assembly Challenge. I mean, there wasn’t a ton of assembly here, but they did all start on sprue and needed cleanup and/or assembly.
