Crazy Ivan Finished

If you need a starship boarded, just call Crazy Ivan for some good bomb hurling.

Colorbombing Ivan

A few more drop of paint hit good old Ivan.............

Blowing up

Crazy Ivan got a bit of a colorbomb last night. He really needs to lay of the smokes.

Final details

Added a few patches of moss and a bit of dead grass, and though really subtle I think it works quite well.

Terrain prototype

Think I got my terrain prototype down. I only forgot that I wanted to add a few bits of dead grass and mold on the base and building. At first that would not be really appropriate for an Industrial Gothic sector, but as I constantly see how grasses are taking over as soon as buildings or areas are left unused, I think it will fit in and look good too.

Sandstone or not?

Decided to paint the building in sandstone to avoid a completely grey battlefield. Does it work?

Crazy Ivan

Needed a new theme, and since I really like all kinds of conversions, I decided to see if I could make a batch of Void Pirates.
First up is Crazy Ivan, Void Pirate Demoequilibrist and Hull Breacher.

Scenery basing

After the warping incident I set out to test a few, clearly more succesful, ways of basing terrain.
Since I only had foamboard, I decided to try out, what seemed to a general consensus of several pieces of advice I received, and simply paint both sides of the board. Only had 3 mm left, but I figured tat would be the ultimate test then. So before anything else I painted the foamboard with just a thing layer of a cheap artshop black acrylic paint.
By suggestion I had gotten some foamex - or foamalux, as it was called at my local signmaker's. Quite easy to cut, and not bendy once it's cut down to small bits like this one.
Both then had a bit of details added, and then a mix of filler, black paint and various sized of gravel.


They have now dried over night and look mom - NO WARPING!!!

Storage tank

Just before the game the other night I had a bit of time to finish off the storage tank for my manufactorum. After it was painted to look dirty I gave the velding lines a brownish wash added some dark brown spots and painted metal bits rusted. Then using a Vallejo rust wash added stripes of rust running down the sides, emphasized the brown spots and underside of the velding lines. The I added some vallejo liquid mask and painted the omega logo in that area. After the red paint was dry I carefully removed the mask with a finger and it yielded a pretty cool chipped appearance.

Gamenight

Gamenight last night and we had our first game using the Inquisimunda-ish rules, we thought they were actually working quite well, only had a few minor adjustments. Ammoroll, were harsh but that might have been down to some unlucky dicing. What's your experience with that rule?
Had two fighter dead though - something of a blow this early to a warband.
We were lucky enough to get our new MDF terrain in the mail just before the game, and had time to put most of it together. What a treat, very easy put together and very playable - from TT Combat.
