Tales from the Cantwara sector: Returning to the Cantwara sector after a long absence

Returning to the Cantwara sector after a long absence.

Time has a habit of going by far quicker than one expects, I can hardly imagine that I have let this blog lay fallow for so long. But absence they say makes the heart grow fonder and I have the urge to try and resurrect the blog. Since my last post I have been wargaming, but like many practitioners of the hobby I have been flitting from one project to another. I have recently turned to my pile of 15mm Sci-Fi lead, mostly from Ground Zero games, which brought me back to the Cantwara sector. I plan to morph the blog to not only include my Rogue Trader era miniatures but also all of my Sci-Fi projects. The narratives will be grounded in the Cantwara sector, but it will take on a less grim dark look. I hope by opening things up to various other scales, theatres, backgrounds I can post semi-regularly.

So, what have I been working on? After a bit of thought, and needing a change from painting 20mm Napoleonic infantry, I decided to work on some of the terrain pieces that I have. The more terrain that I have, the more varied I can make the battlefield and with that the different types of scenarios that I can fight. Here are the pieces that I have finished so far, the colonial settlement of Keithstown is slowly starting to come to life.

Vehicles from Ground Zero Games -

These sculpts were a real pleasure to paint and being made of metal they have some real heft to them.

Scatter terrin - Ground Zero Games

Most of the scatter terrain came as Christmas freebies with an order. They will either serve as terrain or objective markers.

Mines - Ground Zero Games (I think)

The mines will do service as terrain, objective markers, and spawn points. I have one more to paint. I think that I got these from GZG, but I cannot find them on the website, so I could be wrong or they may no longer be available.
