Something slightly different today – yes, it’s more 3D printed tanks, but this time they’re for 40k & Horus Heresy’s tiny cousin, Legions Imperialis. Alpha Legion was chosen by Marouda, as she’s a fan of all the turquoises and teals, and that works for me as I also enjoy painting in these colours.

I’ve had these files on a hard drive for a few years now, so I’m not sure if they’re still out there, and since James can be a bit litigious and agressive with the old takedowns, I’m not going to point out where I got them from. If you know how to look for these things, then you know.

Anyway, earlier this year, right around the time that Battletech was tempting me again, I picked up a bunch of LI and AT for a “you’d have to be insane to refuse this deal” price, dropping me into a new scale – especially since I can easily proxy the 40k-ish tanks and infantry into the Mech game and Flippy can pick up a lot of the slack in various ways. For example, these tanks don’t currently “exist” or have rules in Legions Imperialis, but I figure in friendly games here we can just call them Baneblades or Shadowswords or something and have fun.

By this time you’ve already seen a fair few buildings and now you know why the drop into 6/8mm scale happened. Here’s a couple of the still-unpainted LI models I’ve been using for scale with those buildings – yeah the Glaive is a superheavy in the 30k/40k setting, so it be a big ol’ tank.

Three more tanks for Dave Stone’s Season of Scenery ’25. We haven’t heard from Dave in a couple of weeks now, so here’s hoping that treatment is going well, his general health is improving and he’s starting to feel a touch better.
