Gaslands Refuelled


I have been suckered into ordering the new expanded edition of Gaslands, aptly titled Gaslands: Refuelled, partly due to some positive online reviews but mostly because I fancy some toy car kit bashing. I have the original rules and all the various templates but never played more than a couple of games, so I'm hoping this expanded version will fire me up to try some more. I've actually got a credit as a first edition play tester somewhere but it's hardly deserved!

One of my old Hot Wheels conversions

I ordered my copy from Northstar as it includes a bonus sprue of weapons, stowage and armour for conversions, which looks like it will be very useful. The plan will be to hi-jack a rainy weekend in the next couple of months to bash together some new post-apocalyptic, Mad Max style battlewagons, using a stockpile of Hot Wheels that I've salvaged from the kid's old toy box. Who knows, maybe it will get them unglued from the X-Box once they've realised what happened to the old toy cars?

  1. Nice paint job on the car! Do you take the original coat off first?
    I'm trying hard to avoid new projects, but I wonder if I will be able to resist what I expect will be quite a lot of publicity about this...

  2. Thanks. I just spray undercoated it in Matt black after super gluing the wheels tight and adding the guns from an old Dark Future plastic set.
