The 12 Days of Khyron - Day 5

Welcome to Day 5.

You have already seen how you can turn a few spare mecha into objective markers in my previous post.

Today I would like to put forth a challenge to my readers, to scratch build your own objective markers and submit your pics to me for a future post.  But first, here are some ideas based on the later events of the Macross saga.

1)  The Protoculture Matrix - Season's Greetings Episode 35

• This pic shows the matrix to scale with a Glaug.  It would be a great objective marker for Malcontent games or scenarios based on the series.

2)  The Protoculture Chamber - Khyron's Revenge Episode 34

• This could be made from tiny craft store bottles.

 

3)  Kyle and Minmay - Broken Heart Episode 32

• Ok, this one is  a stretch for even the most hard core Robotech Fans.  But rescuing captured micronian prisoners is not too far fetched.  
• Z scale miniature people fit the bill for this one.

So go out and make some objective markers, send me your pics and I'll share what you made in a follow up posting.

 'Do as I command!'

The 12 Days of Khyron

Welcome to the 12 days of Khyron!  Over the next dozen micronian earth cycles, I will bring you a new Robotech RPG Tactics article each day.  I hope you are not on Khryon's naughty list or he has a reflex warhead with your name on it.

Day 1:  What's my objective?

(The Vertiech is based on a wooden disk I bought from Michaels Craft store)

The scenario 'Take and Hold' on pg 78 of the RRT rule book requires that you have 3 objective markers that the players will need to control in order to win the game.  I took an extra Glaug (I had 4), recon pod (again, I had 4) and vertiech battloid (extra with every box set) and turned them into objective markers.

It was as easy as:

• assembled and pose them
• Let the glue dry so that the limbs are solid
• drilled a few bullet holes
• cut them up with a set of sprew cutters and X-acto knife
• count your fingers before and after the previous step.  Make sure you didn't lose any
• bend any barrels you want (see the glaug)
• based them
• and paint them (I'll post a pic later this week when they are painted)

 Your armies can now rescue/capture a couple of downed pilots and recover the reconnaissance data from the pod.  Now those are objectives worth fighting for.

Why?

Because I could.
