Twilight 2000 Figures

Twilight 2000 RPG game.


I enjoy playing even if it is an Old School kind of game, I like the break sometimes from the far future Sci-Fi games, and the Zombie games, Plus I like the world gone to hell in a hand basket kind of game, no electric, fuel on the very short side, foraging for food, supplies, equipment, and weapons and ammo and trying to keep it all, plus working to a sort of a point to rebuild a life and venturing out to make it all happen.

Again I have always had fun playing this game and as I moved from paper and pencil to more figures I'm always on the lookout for more figures.

Here are some great places for such figure that are great for gaming with.

Fighting 15s Models carries a few really good ones of Oddzial Osmy http://fighting15sshop.co.uk/ at the Sci-fi section check out the Insurgents.

Old Glory of the UK. Has armed civilians http://oldgloryuk.com/ under their 15mm range in the modern section. As with Old Glory of the US http://www.oldgloryminiatures.com/index.asp

Rebel Minis has a section of modern troops,  http://www.rebelminis.com/index.html. their African soldiers would work very well for many gaming situations.

Another great place is Peter Pig miniatures http://www.peterpig.co.uk/ as well a rather large range in the AK47 section.

Now of course they all carry a wide range of modern soldiers too that can be use as well, as well as many other companies not mentioned.

QRF miniatures http://quickreactionforce.co.uk/ carries a large line of modern vehicles.

Irishserb's Miniatures http://sites.google.com/site/irishserbsminiatures/ has a nice selection of vehicles as well though the line is small they are some really nice models and priced well too.

MJ Figures http://mjfigures.co.uk/ handle a nice range of modern weapons great for making supply points, or weapons shops in small towns

This is just a small list of sites, that I feel that have lots of great potential for miniature gaming for Twilight 2000 if this is a game for you.

Thanks for reading.

Travellar Project

For all the Traveller Fans out there.

So I got the idea from one of the guys at The Miniatures Page who has been posting his ideas of deck plans of Traveller ships, looking at his great work he has been doing when it hit me PVC!!!

So I got a 2 inch cap.



A 2 inch to 1 and 3/4 inch reducer.



A section of two inch PVC pipe.

Six inches long


Put them all together and you have a Launch ship or a Ship's Boat and with some added work you could make a Pinnace ship.




Of course I have to add landing gears and some work as far as panels and alike, plus add widows but here's an idea of size.



The figure is 15mm.co.uk and the vehicle is as well their Hover Support Wagon.

This project is on hold for now until we move and sorry about the poor pictures most everything is packed up and had to use the coffee table.

Hope this will inspire you to make your own ships and gives you something for your gaming fun!

Dollar Tree Find!

Okay this is a quick posting.

Went to the Dollar Tree store today and while looking around came across these ceramic Halloween haunted houses that seem to be about the right scale for 15mm gaming, there is a set of six in all, four houses, a church and a lighthouse. They are of a the victorian style












As one can see in the photos you can have a nice little setting in no time, fighting Zombies in the old section of your town or city, or Post Apocalyptic setting, or running for your life in your favorite horror setting.

You can repaint them if you wish or just use as is. 

Just reminding again they are ceramic
