Destroyed Mech Markers for Mech Attack
Each time that the club has gotten out our big mechs for a game of Mech Attack in 28mm, we have discussed leaving destroyed mechs on the board or making markers to represent the wreckage. I made these basic wreck markers using the same technique as the plaster wrecked cars I made some time ago. ... Read more

40k Knights In Mech Attack City
When I first made plans for Adepticon 2017, I made arrangements to bring the Mech Attack terrain set on Thursday and leave it all week in the “Open Gaming” area for attendees to play on.

Mech Attack at Adepticon 2015
Earlier this month, Tim and I had the opportunity to run Mech Attack at Adepticon. Though we didn’t have anyone sign up for the game ahead of time, we were able to acquire enough passers-by to run a good four-player game. The scenario and objectives were nearly identical to the game we ran at last ... Read more
