First up Drake Seta has been assembling his Warhounds. He is getting really excited about Finishing them already.
Next up and taking a leaf out of Drake Seta's book, King Fluff has finally gotten round to (attempting to) sort out the transfers for his great Crusade era knight household House Krask - although with mixed results so far.
Atia finished her Zarakynel this week. She also started to clean her Greater Brass Scorpion. Now she needs to find a usable base for him (he will be around the size of a Fellblade) - help appreciated!!
With the Purokar League campaign getting closer to starting Aveinus has decided to try to get some more Iron Hands units completed. Another contemptor dreadnought is underway
Darien has been continuing his work on the Warmaster. He is getting very close to being finished now and fingers crossed will be able to show him off later this week.
Tylar has been putting the basics down on his tactical marines and managed to make the final preps ready for detailing on his leviathan. Full post to follow soon. And then spent today putting the start of his Phalanx Wardens in place with the Vet Sgt. It's all go with the VIIth ! :)
Aveinus and Kaelo have been busy with work and outside life this week but will have some new progress soon.
We had a great day at WHW yesterday check out the post and see the shots from our short but brutal battle. It was great to see people from around the hobby world old and new.
Check back everyday to see additional progress on the Legions and the other armies waiting to be faced.
Let us know your own progress and comment below.
- Tylar ;)
Lady Atia, use 3mm Hardboard (Fiberboard), cut with jigsaw or at a push, craft knife, sand edges with sandpaper, that way you can shape the base however you like to fit the gribblies feet!
ReplyDeleteHi :)
DeleteMy problem is more to find something that is already ovale shaped at best, I'm a detail freak, and although I know how to construct an ovale, I fear it won't be "perfect" in the end >.<
Could you not make one in a paint application, print it out and stick it to the board before cutting?
DeleteGood idea Chris.
DeleteI would suggest getting someone to laser cut an acrylic base for you. The problem with mdf is it's quite heavy. You may want to put a call out on the blog a forums.
DeleteI think depending on how you pose the Scorpion you probably won't need a base. However, if you want a base best idea would be to magnetize the scorpion so you can take it off to play with as the base makes gaming in tight quarters hard.
ReplyDeleteHey :)
DeleteI have some ideas for the base already, and with Knights having bases (and Titans probably get them too in the future), it would feel a bit off to not have a base for the Scorpion. It shouldn't make his size that much wider I guess, he still should take the same space as a Fellblade in game turns :)
Not sure if its all that possible, but I would like to try a bit of a dynamic pose ^.^
I looked into putting a base on my Brass Scorpion (http://heresy30k.invisionzone.com/index.php?/topic/1482-my-little-mechanicum/?p=132031), but it would have been too restricitve when it came to using him in games, fitting him around terrain, etc. The legs are fairly stable as is, so i've gone without a base.
ReplyDeleteHey - that's a really nice Scorpion (and Forgeworld should include him with their upcoming Dark Mechanicum!!). I want to go the base route 'cause of two issues - first, I fear the paint may be damaged during play without a base. Second, all my models besides tanks have got bases, so it would look a bit off I think ^.^
DeleteGreat progress and gaming this week?!? WOOT!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Col. How's your progress getting on? Anything new on the horizon?
