What did you do today.

[Primarch]

@Jye - You're really blasting through that army. The Land Fortress looks cool, but it is the bikes that steal the show.

[Jye Nicolson]

The bikes are great models. They have good rules right now too, and I have another squad waiting in the wings.

[Primarch]

I did a bit more painting last week.

Some more NPCs



Some Greek types.


A comic book figure.

And some desert terrain.

[Jye Nicolson]

Great work as always Prim! That's a good chunk of terrain.



I don't think I'll get to 1.5 or 2K Votann in time to play so it's time to make a start on the Blood Angels and maybe play them next month. Some of them still need priming though so who knows if they'll see the table before the spring priming season.

you're all so prolific. It's thoroughly impressive, I must say.

As for me, I've (finally) finished the bulk of my terrain for my gang skirmish set up. I've had most of this for years, but it was never painted. I've been working on it on and off for a few weeks. The plan was to use it in a game of Space Weirdos against Spev at the end of January, but then my son caught chicken pox. So we rescheduled for mid February. Then my other son caught chicken pox. We plan to play in April, which should be safe, as I have now run out of sons.

Anyway, here's my snow tabletop. I was aiming for Night City, kinda around the industrial bits where Maelstrom hang out. I'm especially proud of my tiny dumpster and bin bags, all of which I made myself. I'm thinking to pick up a toy truck and park it in the middle kinda courtyard area. It'd make a good heist target or similar.

@M_i_J - That is an awesome looking terrain set-up. Well done!!

@M_i_J

In the bottom picture, is that where you keep your vat of Phyrexians?
Table looks great!

@MIJ- That dumpster steals the show. It's the little quirky details that really make a bit of terrain come to life and help make the game a story.
Like the graffiti. I'm guessing some of that is decal?
Now just get in there with weathering powders and oil washes and ......
Reminds me I still need to do a bit of touch up work on my Gorkramorkaforta.

[Jye Nicolson]

That looks awesome! Is it a fixed installation or will it make the trip to Higashi Betsuin some day?

[me_in_japan]

Cheers all

Bits of it are portable - the scatter terrain and crates and stuff. The buildings are kinda portable, but bulky, and the walkways and tanker thingies are just a nope. So some bits will probably make the trip then look daft and out of place with their snow on whatever mat happens to be on the table that day

As for weathering etc, I'd like to, I really would, but I've found there's a world of difference between weathering a vehicle and weathering 16 sq ft of terrain. They all got some generic muck, some toothbrush spritz, and I'm calling it a day. Incidentally, if anybody knows a good technique to make mucky snow, I'm all ears. What I've got looks ok as clean snow, and it matches my mat, but I kinda want to do muddy slush, too, and am at a loss as to how to do it effectively at scale.

As for the graffiti, it's all decals, although in my defence I did edit a lot of it on my pc. 4 pages of A4, that is. When you cut em up, it turned out to be quite the time sink. I think it looks fairly effective, though, and there's a ton of personal references in there among the scribbles and the banksies. (The lady with the pink hair on the side of the large white building is my fortnite avatar, for example)

Also, yes. The tank is full of the finest glistening oil. All will be one. To be fair, there are crates from Umbrella Corporation, Weyland Yutani and the Church of Unitology, so at this point it's really just a question of which horrific bio-terror you'd rather succumb to.
