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!

Fabricator’s Lair 3D Prints: Grimdark Industrial Forge

Fabricator's Lair 3D Prints: Grimdark Industrial Forge

The second of my two centrepiece “Mechanicum” prints from Fabricator’s Lair! Like the Promethium Reprocessing Factory from my last post, the Forge here can be found both in the Epic Scale Industrial Buildings set, or in the (recommended) Epic Sector: Industry campaign bundle.

This one is another huge slab of a building – even moreso than the previous one if that’s possible. On one side it once again features a series of pipes of a size that would not look out of place in a 40k game, and on the other a long row of pretty “grimdark” looking smokestacks – which I’ve just realised I forgot to grunge up with soot stains on their tops.

Once again, the paintwork followed the same structure and methods as the previous ones in this style, though I’d started to have some issues with the paint markers (I may have used all of the paint in a couple of them?) and bought a regular silver Sharpie which actually worked brilliantly under the circumstances.

As you can see with our scale shot featuring the usual Epic-Scaled subjects, it’s a pretty chonky structure!

And then over here with the 32-40mm boys – I think this one will once again fit into a Crisis Protocol or 40k table very easily.

Predictably, this model is another counting towards Dave Stone’s Season of Scenery ’25 – Extended Edition. Only two more bits of terrain left now..
