Objective Marker Crates by Terrain4Print, Scifi crates for my space dwarf kickstarter

Alright – today we have some more models, albeit some 3D-printed ones. These models are freebies from Terrain4print listed as “Scifi crates for my space dwarf kickstarter” and they can be found at Makerworld, Cults3D, Printables, Thingiverse (and maybe some other places, too!)

They’re set up as prints to represent markers “numbered” from 1, through to 6 – defined by the number of crates on each base. Since I’m on a bit of a Star Wars Legion-themed kick at the moment, I enlarged them slightly to have 50mm bases rather than 40k-oriented 40mm ones as the current POI size for Legion 2nd edition is 50mm bases.

I painted these in a kind of blue-green-grey, based on the hard armour pieces worn by Imperial Army troopers in shows like Andor and General Veers in Empire Strikes Back – and easily base coated using Citadel’s Mechanicus Standard Grey spray paint that bears little resemblance to the pots of paint that share the same name but is quite close to AK’s Anthracite Grey, which allowed me to touch them up. Tarps were done in AK’s German Field Grey that again I’ll be sharing with Imperial Uniforms, so there will be some colour theme consistency once I have some ready for the tabletop.

The 3mf file from Makerworld also featured an upsized version of one of the crates and without the integrated base. I liked this idea, so I sized a couple of other pieces up in the same way to give a bit more variety, as well as the old “mirror” trick. As you can see here, both sizes should work well in a variety of settings.

Really a very nice set of crates that can be used for objective markers or just a nice bit of scatter. Nice “background prints” when you want to keep the machine going but don’t really have anything specific you want to run, and they painted up nice and easily as well when I got around to them!

As a little addendum – Terrain4Print has a Tribes (kind of like a Patreon) over on MMF that’s only US$2/month for his files. I’ve just joined it and if you’re interested in some pretty nice terrain at a very affordable cost, you may be interested in checking it out. I’ve actually just subbed to it as I type this post as I see he’s active again (apparently he took a break for awhile sometime until recently). he doesn’t know I’m posting this and I’ve never communicated with him aside from leaving print photos and reviews – again, as I’ve been typing this post.

Wargame Forge 3D Prints: Gothic Building 119 – Intact & Ruined + Gothic Large Domed Rooftop 9

Wargame Forge 3D Prints: Gothic Building 119 + Gothic Large Domed Rooftop 9

After another break of a couple of weeks for various reasons, I’m back again with a couple more paid-for STL buildings from Wargame Forge on MyMiniFactory.

“Gothic Building 119” is simply a square slab that’s 4 and a half stories tall. pretty straightforward there.

Gothic Large Domed Rooftop 9 is what makes it a bit more interesting than the regular stuff I’ve been posting in my series of Epic scale buildings. Much like the internet is a series of tubes, this piece is a building “topper” that’s made up of a series of squared domes. I did the usual for my “sandstone”-ish buildings and painted the rooftop domes in an aqua-teal to be somewhat reminiscent of copper verdigris rooftops.

It can obviously be placed on top of any building with this footprint. I’ve got a few more ones that fit in both printed-and-waiting and unprinted-STL form which I will possibly get around to before the Sun’s expansion destroys the Earth or when I can convince Marouda to help me paint them, depending on which comes first.

As per usual, I also painted up the fucked-up version of the building. More politely referred to as “Gothic Ruined Building 119“.

Painting all of those interior walls and floors and doorways different colours before weathering was just as tedious as it looks. I know Kuribo can appreciate that sort of pointless work!

Unfortunately, there’s no form of damaged dome-rooftop for aesthetic gameplay purposes, so I guess in the event that it gets damaged in-game we would really be in the situation of blowing the roof off this place!

And here the pieces are together, along with a few Legions Imperialis and Battletech models for scale purposes. One thing I didn’t mention is that I also painted the “destroyed” version of this piece – basically the pancaked version, but somehow it went missing in between varnishing and needing to take photos and it has not yet resurfaced, over a month later. Pissed me off, causing the delay in writing up this post and generally working on the blog by extension. I’ve printed a replacement, but now I need to repaint that fucker up, which as you may have guessed by my tone here, I’m not super enthused about still.
