The nearly complete
Habitat 3 from Antenociti's Workshop... nearly because there are some lugs for securing this building to the roof of another (Habitat 4 or Habitat 10) that can't be placed until the appropriate other structure has been built. I guess one of these will be pretty soon on the desk!
The roof features detachable safety barriers and solar array. The hatch vents, power supply and air handling equipment in this version are resin but the current model features all MDF and Acrylic parts.
At under $18.00 its a very nice model with a flexible footprint.
With the roof removed you can see the interior scatter. A table, a couple of chairs, and a personal gear locker. These are all removable/repositionable and, when not in use, the non-affixed roof components fit inside for easy stowage.
There is a lot of this sort of scatter throughout the project which is really nice for RPGs and can be left out when playing games with larger unit sizes that all need to squeeze in there.
Keep in mind this is the smallest of the buildings in the collection and most of the others fit full squads with ease.
Colors help build themes so I've started with bordering the openings with yellow for "No Access" (conveniently etched into this bay window) and red for "Access" I figure a lot of these type of bases will be in places with adverse, or minimally sustainable, environments and in such settings it would be nice to know at a glance, and at some distance, which of the windows are transit-able.
The models from the Kickstarter don't include full up air locks but they imply an environmentally regulated interior and the new versions have redesigned doors that open look like full airlocks.
These acrylic doors look really nice. They don't open but I imagine them as energy barriers in lieu of airlocks.
I like the little table with the recessed top. I was able to put a graphic on it so it kinda looks like a holographic RPG is set up on it... geekforce is strong!
Some hastily assembled barricades made from relatively intact containers of various sorts pressed into base defense positions. Here the barricades are being tested by a Necron from the ...For Scale Dynasty... it is an older model so a bit on the small side for current industry offerings.
This is kind of a Borderlands light scheme. Not as exaggerated or as heavily black lined but the colors are a nod in that direction.
While I mostly play in the Grimdark I've been very interested in the more traditional Sci-Fi looks and I think there is a lot of room for less Gothic battlefields even in 40K.
...on another note I was pleased to discover that
Arthenya VI The Arch Papess made the move across the continent intact and is ready to take up residence when the War Stages Kickstarter rolls in... for now she must be content with her 3D printed Pulpit.
