Fortifying the Wastelands

As part of the SWARM campaign of last January, I had a "Wasteland Fort" to sculpt, and to release as a freebie for everyone who supported. It was due for this summer, but life got a bit overly complicated (all good news, but distracting ones, and too many at once!), and things got dragged all the way through September.

This was not just another piece of terrain: for the first time since 2021 I was putting some work in the Shanty Town style of buildings. Those are still incredibly popular, and it's been a long time since I wanted to do more, and better ones. I always got sidetracked by *points at everything shiny*, but this was an important one I really wanted to do. And I did!

The Three Sections

This piece is meant as a fort, but rather than having a big armoured building (which is kind of boring!) or yet-another-range-of-modular-walls (which might come in the future, but was ways out of the scope of the stretchgoal, I went for something closer to a manor-house. a fortified building, surrounded by chunk in a functional - and protective - way.

What started as the back-side of the central building became the central building, and the setup left a handy open area in the center.

There is space for a few bases, which is a pretty nice narrative hook for any game (even though functionally, at least according to the rules of Full Spectrum Dominance, units outside of the walls can still claim the cover as they're considered as "basically inside"), and you can always organize the walls into a larger permiter, maybe combining them with the rest of the Wasteland range.

A Stepping Stone. Or Cinder Block.

As hinted above, this piece is an important step in the direction of a new shanty range. with the Wastelands well covered, a more urban-yet-ramshackle range of terrain is something I've wanted to do for a long time.

So... yay. Stay tuned.
