I picked up the two-player starter for Fallout at the end of 2018, but didn’t actually play a game until late 2019. I’m a total sucker for post-apoc, and this skirmish game scratches that itch nicely. I haven’t tried the campaign or solo\/coop modes yet, but just as independent games it plays pretty well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Sole Survivor<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The two-player starter comes with soft PVC models, which has all the issues common to that material. Muddy details, sometimes bendy parts. The sculpted bases are a nice touch, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Dogmeat<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I seem to have a hard time with realistic animals. I think it’s because you can’t hide behind sculpted details and actually need to paint the fur colors. For once I feel I actually captured something decent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Enslaved Tech<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Enslaved Tech can be hired by both Survivors and Super Mutants, but since she’s human I’m including him here. His harness gives him more of a Mad Max look, but he’s a bit too scrawny to really pull it off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Settler<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Out of all the Survivors this Settler suffers the most from being in PVC. Most of the detail in the coat is missing, leaving a basic form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Scavenger<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The starter set calls this model another Settler, but the Survivors faction box calls it a Scavenger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve chosen Survivors as my starting faction, although I’ve got a smattering of other models as loaners or NPCs in some scenarios. I’m looking forward to fleshing out the collection and playing more of the game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
