Thanks all! Nice to hear these positive reactions.
Quite a bit of stuff from around the house is used indeed. The air inlet of the filtering station used to be a pepper mill, for instance. None of the materials were bought.
@ Paradigm: Thanks! The terrain does look good, and I've considered getting terrain elements like that of some sort. I have not yet found the need for it, though. I might at some though, so thanks for the link!
@ Gandlaf the Grey: Thanks for the feedback! You're right, it does look very clean still. This is partly because the beginning of the campaign I'm playing the Plague literally just broke out. Some parts of the city are yet untouched. As the campaign progresses, I will make more ruined buildings, with a more weathered look. Also, I'll make the existing buildings more weathered then.
The ideas you propose all sound good, thanks!
@ Dorthonion: Yes, certainly! In fact, you might be able to tell, but the Marines I use are actually their Enforcers (from the starter set). I also use 2 Plague starter sets and some survivors minis from Hasslefree.
I really liked the look of the Plague models especially, and I've looked for a nice skirmish-like wargame about a year ago. I wanted to play nice campaign with friends in some post-apocalyptic setting. Deadzone models were very much what I wanted, but the game less so (I much prefer non-grid movement).
Therefore, I started making my own set of rules, loosely based on LotR SBG, Doom the Boardgame, DnD and more. I've now pretty much finished them and started a campaign with friends.
In fact, the buildings I made were mostly made such that it is compatible with Deadzone, so based on 3' cubes. So, if I want to play Deadzone (not part of the campaign), I still can!
I've currently finished some more, and made a board as well. I'll try and put photo's up later this week.
