Aka-Oni Irregulars: Enforcer, Stalker, Zeus, Trebuchet; Also, a Union Dropship!

The Aka-Oni Irregulars have salvaged four more mechs to add to their forces. This lance consists of an Enforcer with a balanced loadout of an AC/10 and a large laser, a Trebuchet geared toward raining long-range missiles upon its foes, a Zeus with another balanced loadout, and a Stalker with a vast array including just about every kind of weapon.

  • Enforcer (50 tons, BV 1,032)
  • Trebuchet (50 tons, BV 1,191) 
  • Zeus (80 tons, BV 1,374)
  • Stalker (85 tons, BV 1,559)

Total mechs: 34
Total tons: 1,965
Total battle value: 38,640

In addition to the mechs is a 3D printed, map-scale Union-class Dropship. This was a design by UnrestedGuy on Thingiverse that I modified to streamline it and make it printable without supports in FDM instead of resin. I originally just printed the egg-shaped dropship itself, but the landing feet proved prone to snapping, so I printed out a base to mount it on, appropriately scaled to fill the same number of hexes that the dropship occupies on the map.

I used generic grey colors with blue highlights and a bonewhite drybrush, not to represent any particular faction, but just to be usable by any faction. The Union class can transport and deploy twelve mechs (so I would technically need to print five more to transport all of my painted mechs), but this isn't really meant for frequent use on the tabletop. It's more that I thought it would be really cool to make. So I made it!

Superhero: Batman

The Batman.

I found a steep, steep discount on the DCeased: Gotham City Outbreak box, a Zombicide game with a few superhero/supervillain miniatures. The scale is a little bigger than I normally do, but it was a good way to get a cheap Batman figure to join my superhero collection.

I went with the blue and grey look, as opposed to the all-black or black and grey suits, and I think it turned out looking very nice.

As you can see from the comparison on the right, Bats absolutely towers over some of the other characters, but that's fine. He's larger than life.
