No need to talk about practicality here:

This seems more suitable for 40k then other 'hard' sci-fi backgrounds. But what do I know. Still, I found it to be fun and thought I'd share.

Hey, and they even have Forge World prices on the train set!

Cool!

I can tell Jovian1 is not into model railroad collecting! Even Forge World is cheap compared to model railroading. :-) I was looking at my latest Walthers flyer and saw the $35 USD HO boxcar prices. Basic HO locos are around $200 USD each, sound locos cost $300. USD ouch!

BTW I get the catalog because I buy scenery items. I have no real interest in model trains.

2nd hand trains turned into a 40k skully wonder!

Oh,

That is nice 40k train, though I think it needs more skulls. I've got an old Lionel train I may just have to try that with.

Thanks

t.w.

p.s. Keep it down about Forge World being cheaper then model railroading. They may want to increase their prices.

"Operation Eagle Justice"

They had pushed the eagles too far. Now they were back…wiser…and heavily armed. No more talons full of arrows for these aerial vigilantes. Retribution was in order…

It's a bit hard to say what scifi game aesthetic the OP set would fit since the largest pic I mananged to get of it is about the size of a stamp… I would say it's more "gritty industrial" than "future gothic".

I love the sub-genres of our hobby and I'd have to agree with that assessment.

Still I'm sure the kids would love a set like that to dish out some 'Retribution.' grin
