INSPIRATION

Christian´s Displaced Miniatures Page - "Turning RAW material into WAR material!" Yes, it's WW2/Pulp, but it's still freakin' cool!

Drunk Dog Works A Maschine Krieger fansite with some kick ass models. Now if only some enterprising miniature manufacturer would be inspired by this particular model and put out some 28mm powered armor miniatures. It's a dream I have...

Krueger's Krieger SF3D/MaK Zbv3000 Models and Tips An S.F.3.D. site full of very cool models.

Post Nuke Comic - Post apocalyptic online comic by Andreas Duller. There is a reason why it's not under the HUMOR heading.

TerraGenesis The web site devoted to the creation of terrain for table-top wargames.

Wastelands and Trailer Parks One of my favorite "after the bomb" miniature gaming sites. Several after action reports of 2085: Warlords of the Wasteland games. Not for the faint of heart or those obsessed with Political Correctness. You have been warned.
