From DaveV: Sedition Wars Vanguard Strategic Points - 35 Points

For my final entry, I offer another set of models from Sedition Wars: Battle for Alabaster.

Some of these Vanguard "strategic points" come from the previously mentioned Terrain Pack Kickstarter stretch goal. From that box, I painted up the following, which perform various in-game effects:

• 1 x Auto-Doc (heals wounds and cures infection)
• 1 x Security Terminal (gives Tactics)
• 1 x Life Support Terminal (removes Nano clouds)
• 1 x Teleport Control (allows use of Teleport pad)

Upon reflection, the stock Auto-Doc looks a little small to hold a human patient. Also, the kit came with a couple of "Havoc" defense gun emplacements that looked way too large (like a Vulcan autocannon). I replaced all three items with 3D prints I found on Etsy from Majestic Miniatures:

• 1 x Cryopd (as Auto-Doc above)
• 2 x Alien Sci-fi Sentry Guns (Vanguard fixed position heavy weapons)

The Alien Sentry Gun models are particularly nice. They are modelled on the Weyland-Yutani weapons used in the Aliens franchise. 

After priming with GW Chaos Black, I used rattle can GW Corax White  downward at about a 60 degree angle for zenithal highlights. The Sentry Guns were glazed with GW Biel-Tan Green. The grey of the various terminals was a thinned glaze of Peach Black oil paint mixed with Winsor & Newton Liquin Medium. The glass and screens of the Terminals, Auto-Doc, and Cryopod were painted in various blue and white acrylics. Some detailing was done on the models with oils. The bases were glazed with Vallejo Rust and Secret Weapon Stone washes, then finished off with weathering powders.

Below, some Vanguard and Strain Strategic Points, seen in-game action:

With seven 28mm models = 35 points.

Great looking objective markers, Dave. I especially like the cryo-pod and the not-Weyland-Yutani Sentry Guns. Even better, they look terrific in-use on your tabletop - game on!
