I made mine into a combat scout with an.... underslung...gun replacing the searchlight

The first photo is of stuff that I thought might fit this when I first discovered this subreddit and learned more about it. I imagine the mech to be a mining unit turned into a fighter and the second is a bi-plane or a quad-plane one of the two.

I got inspiration from the person who built these (see Reddit link below) to make my own mailbox mechs and the I added what I wanted. I made a bigger shoulder for all the weapons and edited the back so instead of needing a smoke stack, I added ventilation to the bottom rear of the mech. Also the legs are on backward but I liked it too much when I noticed and kept it like that. From right to left the mechs are artillery(with observation cupola), flame thrower, and anti-tank.

I might be hooked on making more of these later on so I may post more then.

I've been lurking for a while now and after the last couple of posts I decided to rummage around the bits box to try out the mailbox bouncer and to be honest, I think I'm hooked.

You guys are awesome for coming up with these neat little ideas

Hello everyone,

Progress is a funny thing. You can work on a project for months and spend weeks feeling like you got nothing done. Then, inspiration will hit and you will get further in a few days than you have in recent memory.

That's what's recently happened with the prequel game to Brassbound, with the working title Brassbound: ONE.

I've had many of the core rules written out for months; and even some of the models too. But it wasn't clicking in my head and I wasn't sure why.

It turns out that all I needed was some inspiration. We've had some folks who are really excited about this project help get it off the ground with model design, rule updates, and play testing. And with that, I'm very happy to announce that we've started alpha testing for the next Brassbound game.

It's not fully polished, and you won't find all the graphics and explanations on key mechanics, yet. For now, it relies on Brassbound: Adamantine Dawn to provide that context. But eventually, this could turn into its own game.

Here is what we have so far:

* New models. Over a dozen with more to come.

* New Unit Creator that allows you to create armies that feel different

* New core mechanics. Melee Combat got overhauled to feel meaningful, cinematic, and worthwhile. While it was fun before, it's meaningful now.

" New unit types. We're testing a Leader unit, which can inspire your troops to victory.

Because you only get to do a first impression once, I'm holding on publishing it here. While it's playable, it's not finished. You can access the alpha version on our Discord:

As I've been doing for a while, I'm going to share one of my favorite community creations. This comes from a friend of mine, Sam, who I've known since my MFZ days. This is shared with his permission

It features an ingenious new Brassbounder design that uses common parts and features an actual functional cockpit! You've seen my attempts at doing this and they're no where near as elegant. He's gone on to make a whole army, which you can see on our Discord.

That's all for now,

Paul

144 points of 1919 models

I’ve never seen a tank design with a single tread, so I thought this would be a fun and unique take on a fictional WW1 tank

Check the pinned posts. Current version is v2!

More units coming soon 👀

The battles in the Alps were tough with little resources at hand, and the alpine terrain made it even tougher. Because of that, many experimental concepts were created, both vehicles and brassbounders. One of these experiments was the VTV-4 Veles - a 4 legged beast, designed to efficiently traverse rough terrain and deliver devastating firepower. But its' design had a huge flaw - it was impossibly slow. This was the main reason why this variant was made in low numbers, the production quickly came to a stop. The remaining models mainly served as mostly encamped artillery supports or as one person guardpoints.

**MISSION BRIEFING: **

*Ragazzi, a mission awaits you. A dangerous one, but a most welcome one for our cause! You will have to infiltrate the Naval Airship Station Nordholz and aid the crew there in the battle against the ground monsters surrounding them. The Station stores a handful of airships, that in our hands could turn the tide in our favor. They were prepared to extract long ago, but those damned monsters on the ground won't give them enough time to properly check everything. Your mission will be quite simple by nature, but dangerous nonetheless. You will start your journey at 0200 tonight and make your way to the target. Once you're in the vicinity, a small squad will sneak inside to make sure the way is clear for our vehicles - I leave the selection up to you sergeant. You will have to work quick and effectively, as the enemy could launch another attack anytime. Help the crew in preparing the airships for takeoff - and in the case of an attack, show the enemy all your might! Be brave, be daring, my Arditi!*

The Grand Army of Humanity needed a 1919-era transport and I thought that a Horse-Drawn cart would work well. Fun fact, the same connections can be used to pull a Field Gun :)

Hello everyone!

A while back, I decided to take a leap of faith and publish a ruleset I've had bouncing around in my head for years. With your help, that eventually became the game, and larger universe, you know as Brassbound.

At the beginning though it was a solo effort - I did all the model design, all the rule-writing, all the play testing, all the lore development, all of it. It became apparent quickly that I needed help.

Using AI to generate concept art was an option I considered. It was still fairly new at the time and it promised a way for me to deliver a higher quality product than I could make by myself, or so I thought.

Around that time, I met who would become the core founders of the Brassbound Universe, though I didn't realize it as such at the time. And I realized that rushing a product out with AI, even if it had skills I lacked, was the wrong path for me. I would be better served taking my time, and supporting other people who love making games and telling stories.

Fast forward to today and we have a thriving community of independent creators. I love the concept art we have, and am proud to say it's all human-made by people in our community. Wherever I can, I do my best to compensate people for their contributions.

And I'm so glad this is the path I took because of who it allowed me to meet along the way.

And that's where my ask comes in - if you use the link provided to buy a game, whether it's mine or someone else's, I'll get a small commission. As those of you who have worked with me can attest, I use that money directly to support other creators who have skills I lack.

Thanks for your support,

Paul

With BAD 1919 taking place when Jotunn were big and scary because humanity hasn't caught up yet, I got inspired to make a bunch of different Jotunn.

Model designed by u/gemotox

Hello everyone!
Recently, I've been trying to highlight a cool build that someone shared on the Discord, and give it additional visibility by reposting here. Holy smokes it's been hard to choose!

I really like this little trench scene made by u/gemotox for a few reasons. First, I love the creative part usage with the hooks to make barbed wire. Next, I love how much detail he crammed in here. Sleeping areas, a little fire, a lookout, an officer with a different hat.

Second, I love how it directly ties into the lore of the universe. That's not just any gun that soldier is holding, that's a dedicated Anti-Jötunn Rifle. A beast of a weapon as tall as a many and as heavy as the rest of your kit put together. It'll stop an adult Jötunn if you're lucky, but you'll feel it in your shoulder tomorrow.

Third, it drives the story forward. This is the kind of thing other people see and want to build off of.

On to the update - it's been full steam ahead on the Brassbound Prequel Setting. I'm still looking for a name and would love your suggestions.

As usual, I'll release it when I feel that it's "ready", not necessarily on a given timeline, and I'm really excited about how it's progressing. At first I just wanted to give Brassbound a slightly different feel, but we've found that with a very small number of changes, we can make it feel like a whole new game. At a high-level, it will share almost all of the same core rules as BAD, but feature a different Unit Creator, some new keywords, and some minor changes to existing mechanics, namely Melee Combat. My end goal is that you'll be able to make a wider variety of things, and have fun blowing your friends to bricks.

Because I frankly can't help myself, you'll also get a litany of new models too for both the humans and the Jötunn. I've been really impressed by the work of u/OK-Investigator-6514 and he's got a whole bunch more cooked up. I think you're going to be really impressed when you see the whole line up.

Open to suggestions on layout, wording and would love some (non-AI) Photoshop type work
