Coming back to my 28mm Alternative Armies Ion Age figures with a mind to use them for trying out the Planet28 ruleset created by Nicholas Evans


Available here to download from Wargames Vault


The figures could also be used for other games like Rogue Trader, Kill Team, Inquisitor, Necromunda, etc and also allowed me to expand on my realm, The Lithic Assumption.


My first planned piece was a gun drone converted from an engine from Ramshackle Games (a fantastic site for miniatures and parts!)


The design style for the Lithic Assumption is for a vertical asthetic.



Engine with plasticard and twin heavy bolter slung underneath





I went for quite minimal design with heavy weathering to add detail and would fit in with the narrative of the Warband as a group of crash survivors




I went back over the first four Militia I had painted and added the stripe and weathering


A Muster Majoris Officer and Muster Centaris Officer 



Warband so far. 
I plan on adding some more Muster troops and transport and possibly another Drone
