Shatterpoint: Terrain leftovers

The Shatterpoint terrain kits always come with doodads, some of which take a while to get to the top of the queue. So here are some leftovers!

Kittie

The cat is part of the original starter box. He’s sitting some poor buried astromech, lord of all things (like all cats).

Swoop Bike

The swoop bike is part of the scatter terrain from the Take Cover set. Somebody forgot to charge their bike and is stuck walking home.

Shatterpoint: High Ground terrain

The High Ground set is one of two initial Shatterpoint terrain sets. Like the Take Cover set, it includes some pieces from the core box, and some unique.

Array

The Array is the tallest piece, and adds a lot of dimension to the table. It also has two ladders built in. The platforms have notches for gantries to rest securely in.

The towers are repeats from the core set. I put one antenna array at the lower level to be a little distinct. There are also gantries repeated, but they aren’t very interesting to look at.

Bird

And of course, the mascot. For this box, it’s this bird thing.

Shatterpoint: Core Set Terrain

No miniatures game is complete without terrain. Shatterpoint has its particular flavor, with lots of gantries between buildings.

The gantries are quite nice, as they have a few subtle pegs that help keep them together.

I dirtied them up with oil washes, which make for nice streaks. To add some extra spice, I added graffiti decals and propaganda posters from a variety of scifi franchises. The posters are just printed out on regular paper, glued on, and then smudged with foam swabs with oil paints leftover from the cleaning up the oil wash.

My hope is that these can work for Shatterpoint, but wouldn’t be out of place in any other scifi or even near-modern game.
