Gaslands: More Metal for the Carnage

 

Following on from the last Gaslands post way back in '23! We've had a go at some Buzzards, added to the Warboys, and finally got some snaps of cars we finished shortly after the last post.

Suffice to say that we had some excellent fun running quite a few games at home and its high time we ran some more.

Buzzards

We grabbed a couple V-Dubs, the closest thing we could find to the film, and spent painstaking hours cutting and gluing individual spikes on the cars using metal paper binders. Pain because they were sharp and by the time the gluing was finished, you couldn't pick the thing up without stabbing yourself!


Then it was a rifle through Northstar's Punks for drivers and passengers. There's a heap of detail on these guys including skull masks!

Warboys

Added a harpoon platform on a pickup to add to the general mayhem, including a spare passenger to fight in all directions from Northstar's Wasteland Warriors Drivers and Passengers.
They look the part against the buzzards and both driver and passenger sets really get that 'witness me' type of feeling happening. We also made up a War rig from a slightly oversize random die cast truck and trailer set.

Looks pretty good against the Matchbox and Hot Wheels cars we've used.

Misc. Teams

Finally, here's some of the cars we've converted over the last few years.

Some generic modifications from my stepson's and wife's collections.
And a shot of his stuff and a jumping Buzzard.
Did a heavy technical team with lasers and super fast engines.
And even finished up a campervan after the errata was released with rules for it, although we haven't used it yet.

We've also been finishing off some scale-agnostic sci-fi/post apocalyptic scenery which we realised could be used for Gaslands. They're nearly finished so we might have a game using all of this soon - and will snap some shots.
