Burn in Design’s Energy Barricades Upgrade Your Defences
April 25, 2013 by dracs
Getting behind walls and barriers to avoid gunfire is all well and good, but it is hardly very high tech. What you need is an Energy Barricade, like the one now available from Burn in Designs.
Fancy attacking an Aleph complex? You will have to get past these first. Want to face the Tau? Well have fun shooting them when they are hidden by walls of energy.
The other cool thing about energy barricades is that they are see through, so you can just sit there and taunt the enemy as they fail to shoot you.
These are actually pretty cool terrain pieces, which could make for some nice line of sight breakers in loads of sci-fi games. Whether or not you think they should have special rules of course is up to you.
What game would you use these in? Are there any particular rules you might put into play?
Could inspire another ballgame game.
This one based on futuristic Xtreme Volleyball.
There are mines in the sand and if the ball hits the floor it goes boom.
You really don’t want to be at the “net” when the ball hits that high energy barrier.
Am guessing this game doesn’t take long to finish!
They look great even without paint on them.
I think I just found an aegis defense line for my Eldar
I like those little barriers. They’ll make great shields for my Tau Battlesuit Commander, or maybe even El Cataclismo (The Riptide).
They will make excellent fencing for my 24th century robotic vibrating bum faced goat astro farm.
Love these. Just to be awkward though……how can they block line of site if they are transparent? Presumably you can target anything completely behind it but they get a cover save? Is that cheese or biscuits?
