Armored Watch or Gun Tower 25 - 30 mm Science Fiction Miniatures

This time we're getting out of the laboratory and onto the battle field with an armored watch tower.

The gun tower that can be found protecting important military installations and research sites. Security forces can use the tower for surveillance and defense. Multiple viewing windows allow for 360-degree observation and line of fire. Access is through an armored hatch at the tower's base.  An additional hatch is located on the top of the tower.

This type of scenery can be used in a wide variety of science fiction miniatures war games. It can be placed in all sorts of established sites.

The tower stands about 5-1/4 inches (132 mm) tall. Sized for use with 25 - 30 mm miniatures.

And just a reminder that many of my terrain pieces can be purchased at my Web Store.

Here is to a great 2010 for us all!

Mad Science Pulp Electropulse Cannon 25 - 30 mm

This scenery piece represents a large, heavy fixed weapon. It fires a pulsed narrow-beam of supercharged electrical particles capable of breaching heavily armored vehicles and even lightly shielded starships.

Because of its size, this weapon system must be mounted on a stationary hardpoint and is not usually seen on the open battlefield. It is often deployed as part of the defensive systems on larger military installations, industrial complexes, population centers, and larger starports.

This would do well as a victory objective in many science fiction table top miniatures war games including Warhammer 40K™ and Warmachine™. Or it could be used in a pulp or super hero setting as a prototype weapon of mass destruction created by a mad scientist working toward world domination.

Whatever the game system you are using, this terrain piece will certainly attract some attention on your game table.

The cannon is about 6 inches (150 mm) in overall length. The base is 4-3/4 inches (120 mm) in diameter.

Mad Science Laboratory Equipment 25 - 30 mm Scale Terrain

Another amazing gizmo from our mad scientist's lab! When activated, a rising hum builds, the twin armatures spin ever faster around the core generator. Bolts of unearthly lightning leap from the spinning globes to the central capacitor! Can our inventor control the powers he has unleashed?

This scenery piece is an nice touch in any crazed scientist's lair. It could be used in may pulp science fiction settings. And although not exactly steampunk or victorian science fiction, it would not look out of place there as well.

Designed for 25-30 mm scale miniatures, the base measures approximately 3 x 5 inches (70 x 125 mm). The piece stands about 3-3/4 inches (96 mm) tall.

15mm Science Fiction Heavy Gun Turret

This time I decided to try a piece for a smaller game scale: 15mm. This smaller scale appears to be gaining in popularity for some table top miniature war games, particularly where you want to field larger troop formations.

This heavily armored gun turret sports a large cannon. This type of weapon system is not easily transportable from one battlefield to another, but is designed to be erected in a static location. It can be used as a major defensive weapon protecting a military installation, population center, or starport.

The base of this terrain piece measures about 3 x 3 inches (76 x 76 mm). The turret stands 2-1/2 inches tall (65 mm).

The combat figures in the photos for size comparison are from the Rebel Miniatures 15mm series. The details of the miniatures are pretty remarkable for such a small scale.

Steampunk Pulp Science Fiction Engine

Here is an industrial engine that would fit well into a Steampunk, Victorian Science Fiction, or Pulp setting.

Lots of rivets and piping.

The base of this terrain piece measures approximately 3 x 5 inches

Mad Science Laboratory Equipment

Every mad scientist needs to stock his laboratory with all kinds of neat equipment.

Here are a couple of scenery pieces that would look great in any pulp, horror or super hero game, both table top miniature war games and role-playing games such as Call of Cthulhu™.

In the one piece, electricity leaps between the two large electrodes, arcing over the central control console. Just the thing to outfit your special Halloween game.

Power Generator for Science Fiction or Pulp Adventure

What new source of power is this scientist working on? It looks like a large undertaking with plenty of technology. The main generator consists of a long cylindrical turbine. Numerous control consoles nestle against the generator. A morass of conduits draw the power from the main generator to the vertical containment chamber for storage.

Such a prototype can be the basis of all sorts of interesting miniature war game or role-playing adventures. Perhaps it is hidden in the secret arctic base of a pulp villain hoping to use the technology in his bid to become supreme ruler of the world. Or maybe it is part of an Imperial research facility set in a futuristic science fiction setting such as Warhammer 40,000™.

Suitable for 25-30 mm miniatures gaming. The base of this terrain piece is about 6 x 12 inches (150 x 305 mm) and stands about 3-1/2 inches (87 mm) tall.
