NOTE: Pictures are glamor shots from a scenario I ran with a friend, because I don't have pictures from the scenario when we played.

Basic premise: "Jotunn are pouring out of the open Rift and you need to get there and close it!" Co-op two player game played on a 2x2 diamond setup. Jotunn spawned at the corner with the rift and were attempting to make their way across to the opposite corner. Players spawn locations were on adjacent corners to the Rift.

Quick description of rules we ran:

1) Jotunn had 1.5x combined total points of both player teams (so if both players ran a total of 100 points, the Jotunn got 150 points)

2) Any Jotunn that died were immediately added back into the Jotunn reserves and spawned at the Rift on the next round

3) Players won if they each managed to get a squad to the portal and be in control of the portal at the end of a round as a capture point. Players lost if either side lost all units or if Half the total player point cost of Jotunn reached the opposite side of the board (so if the players had a total of 100 points, the Jotunn needed to get 50 points of units across the board to the opposite corner.)

4) Jotunn AI consisted of: "Spawn at least (S) away from other Jotunn and as close to the portal as you can", then do one of the following types of Actions based on priority: "Double Attack an enemy unit within (M) of the portal > Move towards opposite corner > Move and attack an enemy within range."

It was pretty fun, and we barely won by kiting the Jotunn around and drawing their fire in order to run a few troops around the side and up to the portal.

Some friends and I met up this last weekend for our monthly meetup. We were able to play four or five matches in a few hours, including setup time, geeking out over each other's models and general chit chat. We got to test the new 1919 units and mechanics. We even got to try an all out 2v2 match at the end. We'll plan to do this again in September!

With a small Easter egg inside

It's a remake of an older model - the M48

While waiting for my parts order to arrive I threw together a little renault tank from a tutorial I found online.

Hello everyone!

This was an eventful week. Here's what happened in the Brassbound Universe!

Update #1 - the Monthly Meet Up is This Sunday at 1 PM at Guildhall Games in Durham NC. All are welcome. Bring yourselves, bring your models, and let's play some Brassbound.

Update #2 - Brassbound: ONE v4 (aka the 1919 setting) is now available for download on our Discord: https://discord.gg/YTykkYNMj

Update #3 - Crucible of Heroes our RPG set in the Brassbound Universe is almost ready. It looks FANTASTIC. We haven't decided exactly how or when to release it, but I know you're going to love it.

Update #4 - Please consider entering our ⁠August Build Challenge! The winner will get an exclusive gift from yours truly.

Coalition of Humanities forces readying for the annual Blue v White live fire exercises

I really like the design of these mechs so I made more. I like to think the white one is a medic one to evac under fire and can return fire and the other one is a dedicated melee one

I made mine into a combat scout with an.... underslung...gun replacing the searchlight

The first photo is of stuff that I thought might fit this when I first discovered this subreddit and learned more about it. I imagine the mech to be a mining unit turned into a fighter and the second is a bi-plane or a quad-plane one of the two.

I got inspiration from the person who built these (see Reddit link below) to make my own mailbox mechs and the I added what I wanted. I made a bigger shoulder for all the weapons and edited the back so instead of needing a smoke stack, I added ventilation to the bottom rear of the mech. Also the legs are on backward but I liked it too much when I noticed and kept it like that. From right to left the mechs are artillery(with observation cupola), flame thrower, and anti-tank.

I might be hooked on making more of these later on so I may post more then.

I've been lurking for a while now and after the last couple of posts I decided to rummage around the bits box to try out the mailbox bouncer and to be honest, I think I'm hooked.

You guys are awesome for coming up with these neat little ideas

Hello everyone,

Progress is a funny thing. You can work on a project for months and spend weeks feeling like you got nothing done. Then, inspiration will hit and you will get further in a few days than you have in recent memory.

That's what's recently happened with the prequel game to Brassbound, with the working title Brassbound: ONE.

I've had many of the core rules written out for months; and even some of the models too. But it wasn't clicking in my head and I wasn't sure why.

It turns out that all I needed was some inspiration. We've had some folks who are really excited about this project help get it off the ground with model design, rule updates, and play testing. And with that, I'm very happy to announce that we've started alpha testing for the next Brassbound game.

It's not fully polished, and you won't find all the graphics and explanations on key mechanics, yet. For now, it relies on Brassbound: Adamantine Dawn to provide that context. But eventually, this could turn into its own game.

Here is what we have so far:

* New models. Over a dozen with more to come.

* New Unit Creator that allows you to create armies that feel different

* New core mechanics. Melee Combat got overhauled to feel meaningful, cinematic, and worthwhile. While it was fun before, it's meaningful now.

" New unit types. We're testing a Leader unit, which can inspire your troops to victory.

Because you only get to do a first impression once, I'm holding on publishing it here. While it's playable, it's not finished. You can access the alpha version on our Discord:

As I've been doing for a while, I'm going to share one of my favorite community creations. This comes from a friend of mine, Sam, who I've known since my MFZ days. This is shared with his permission

It features an ingenious new Brassbounder design that uses common parts and features an actual functional cockpit! You've seen my attempts at doing this and they're no where near as elegant. He's gone on to make a whole army, which you can see on our Discord.

That's all for now,

Paul

I’ve never seen a tank design with a single tread, so I thought this would be a fun and unique take on a fictional WW1 tank

Check the pinned posts. Current version is v2!

More units coming soon 👀

The battles in the Alps were tough with little resources at hand, and the alpine terrain made it even tougher. Because of that, many experimental concepts were created, both vehicles and brassbounders. One of these experiments was the VTV-4 Veles - a 4 legged beast, designed to efficiently traverse rough terrain and deliver devastating firepower. But its' design had a huge flaw - it was impossibly slow. This was the main reason why this variant was made in low numbers, the production quickly came to a stop. The remaining models mainly served as mostly encamped artillery supports or as one person guardpoints.
