One Page Rules orions gate minis and terrain also first thoughts.

So I'm using free rules for space battles which are fantastic and can be found at https://onepagerules.wordpress.com/portfolio/orions-gate/ I'm using miniatures from the wonderful ground zero games full thrust range

So here is my painted minis so far 2 squadrons and a battleship, I painted the battle ship like the enemy space ships from the nintendo video game "starfox zero".

 The mecha suits are clearly gundam looking but I painted them like the tsugomori mecha or "guard" from the manga "knights of sidonia" this colour scheme almost perfectly matches the smaller fighter craft to their right so that is a bonus. I have another squadron of each to paint up.

 I painted these fighters to look like the vipers from the original battlestar galatica, before my time but I kinda prefer it.

 Here is my terrain so far the space station is blocking terrain and the three flat pieces are nebulas and an asteroid field that represent area terrain.

 I turned my game mat upside down so that it was black, I may even speckle it with white paint to get that startrek space look. The game itself is alot of fun, quick to play and allows for a huge number of customization when list building and yet is highly tactical too as it rewards clever maneuvering as attacks from behind deal more damage and the firing arc is limited aswell; also the larger ships have limited maneuverability and so forward planning is essential.

 Here is how I made the terrain, I used foam board cube I made then printed off a deathstar flat image and cut and glued it to the 5 visible sides of the cube. I did much the same with the area terrain.
