So apparently I am playing Battletech now o.0 I'm not sure how this happened, but it did. So I am looking for some 6mm sci'fi terrain because this is a boring-looking game:  Any suggestions? Anything lurking on the forum or in the Hoards I have missed? |

Thank you, Vermin King. The Momir Farooq stuff is particularly good... nothing like a sandcrawler as an objective to capture... |

Germ's World has a few Drop Pods, a smallish dropship (it's huge for 1/300 but next to the Leopard it's quite small) and a plethora of buildings: germy.co.uk/

I have always thought of BattleTech as 28mm that says it is 6mm so they can have small tanks to step on. LOL

Battletech is, in fact 6mm/1:300 and always has been. But if you are familiar with it only from the late '90s onward, I can see how it easily seems a 28mm robot fighting game. I've used battlemechs as as combat robots in both 15mm and 28mm before  |

I've used Dervish minis as bases for Cyclones in a Robotech RPG. I modified them, attaching wheels to the sides of the jump jets on the back. |

Played BattleTech back before the whole "Unseen" stuff went down. Still have my Original Warhammer, BattleMaster, and a pair of Stingers out in my storage of old games and figures. |

Well [insert fart joke here]! I'm sure everyone else got the joke... in my defense I had not caffeinated yet. |

You can still find it on FDG's website, but the link to the set on RPGnow is obviously dead, and it has not been included in the catalogue on DTRPG...  |

I think I have the files for that!! We were gonna play Robotech tactics several years ago and someone mentioned we could download those files offline on the DC website. Let me look. I could rescale them and overlay a hex pattern in Gimp. More on this soon!

shep some great table shots there. I agree, the slight scale difference in the buildings is not noticed in play. Well done.

I could rescale them and overlay a hex pattern in Gimp. More on this soon! This made me think, and a quick browsing of my HDD revealed, I have those files, too. No hex-overlay for the streets, sorry, but here they are: bit.ly/2msEb11Those files were free downloads and are cleared for personal use. If you'd rather download them yourself, here you go: ttcombat.com/pages/dropzone-commander-buildings |

shep, I bought one. I gotta re-pose it a little Yeah, the pose is... well, at least there's a mini! I just put it on a Robotech RPG Tactics flight stand that I had left from the Valkyries, and with the right angle, it looks pretty good. However, I had to weigh down the base woth some small lead pieces that I salvages from an old curtain cord, so the mini does not topple over. But hey, a little bit of debris on the base does aleays look good, doesn't it?  |
