"Post Apocalyptic APCs?" Topic

Could anyone recommend any APC type vehicles that would look cool in a Post Apocalyptic miniatures game? I like the wheeled (& multi-wheeled) one above the tracked ones.

Link would be appreciated but, given the proper name, it could be hunted down.

I always do my vehicles 1/43 scale only.

Thanks!!!!

Ramshackle Games, out of England. They do "vehicle parts" that can be tacked together in a variety of ways, are nice and large, and *very* Post-Apoc.

Oooooo… I LIKE their Badger!

LAV 25 – en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LAV-25

AAV-7A1/LVT-7 – link – Used in WHEELS OF FIRE.

BTR-80 – link

And that's just off the top of me 'ead. Don't know about 1/43, though 1/35 and even 1/48 should be available.

If you want paper models try

the Samsara comes in a range of colour schemes including Post-Apoc rust and it's free.

Scotia Grendel ATAC vehicle picture here picture should be perfect. I have one and love it. Paint's up great!

"If you want paper models try" – I don't mind cardstock buildings because I mostly back them with foamcore to make them sturdy… but cardstock vehicles would be too frail.

CorpCommander, that Scotia Grendel ATAC looks pretty sharp!

Always thought one of the Nam guntrucks would make a great post apocalyptic vheicle.

It would be really cool if you could get some Cadillac Gage (or whoever is making them now) V series (100, 150, 300, etc) APC's.
Multi wheeled, multi use, turret/ non turret. Overall very versatile vehicle (or so I have been told – I've never used one, just seen 'em up close a few times).
Between this and the landmaster, that's all they used for The Morrow Project RPG, which was post-TEOTWAWKI and hard scifi game.

Depends on when your post-apocalypse takes place? 1940s,50s, 2000s or even 1800s. Just take a model from the time period and road warrior it up. Could even do up an armored wagon for those pre-combustion engine apocalypses.

We in Australia have been doing this for year for real. Just look at the M113 with a Scorpion turret on it. Another useful type would be the Bundeswher Transportpanzer which has a real Damnation Alley look to it.

I guess Dead Reckoning was made up?

"Depends on when your post-apocalypse takes place?" – Tomorrow ;-)

"It would be really cool if you could get some Cadillac Gage (or whoever is making them now) V series (100, 150, 300, etc) APC's." – I really, Really, REALLY want a Commando v100 or v150!! Just because I have a player who wants to run a "Morrow Project" Recon team in our PA games.

"Bundeswher Transportpanzer" – picture – Very nice!

"I guess Dead Reckoning was made up?" – LOL! I forgot all about that one. Do they have it in 1/43 scale?

From a realisitc view point – anything wheeled would do, as I suspect tracks might be a tad difficult to maintain in the post apoc world. Even an old bus or truck with plates added would make a APC in a post apoc setting.

I have a few Post Apocalyptic APC's in my collection. I hope these pics inspire you.

This is a Ramshackle Badger – that I half tracked. I had to extent the cab to make the tracks fit.

That's the end result I plan on getting, Maddan. Those are all great!

I have a Buddy L Greyhound bus I plan on converting into something like this…

Here are some more links to various PA gaming vehicles and some ideas on their uses… (not many APCs tho…)

The Skank nomad buses are great.

There are some die-cast models of the French VAB APC in 1:43 and 1:50 kicking around, although I think all are OOP at the moment. I use them for my Imperial Guard unit.

They tend to go for $20 USD or so on eBay. (I bought most of mine when the Squadron shop was having a clearance on them – wish I had bought more of them!).
