Do Boardgames Dream of Miniature Porn?
  • I've always liked the Hanomag truck thing, so no reason - other than it was cheap in Hobbycraft. 

    Excellent paint jobs as per usual temps as good if not better than the stuff I saw in Warhammer World. 

    My mate used to but and paint Warhammer when he was a teen, after the visit he's now obsessed and has just bought himself a dreadnought to paint just for the shiz. 

    I must admit I caved and bought one of those Dunecrawlers I see you had a game with, I'm going to WWII tho.

  • Cheers panty!

    I'm definitely not better than the Eavy Metal display stuff in WHW, every time I see that stuff I am gobsmacked, but I could probably comfortably get away with sticking my stuff alongside an their Army Painting teams.

    Dunecrawlers are exceptional kits - AdMec have a very WW2 feel to them, if WW2 had been fought on Mars.

    I have done a silly amount of work compared to normal as i've been in Notts, and because I am getting my transport paid for as it is more expensive than in Glasgow, I have splashed out on a good deal on some big Tyranids and Adeptus Titanicus. Really looking forward to painting those up.
  • More experiments with contrast.

    I say experiment... really I am just using it to speed up painting stuff. I'd love to find a force that I go wild on blending experiments with, but I am too happy with these colours for Tyranids that I will just stick to it.

    Bonus mega zoom because I need people to know I spent 30 seconds trying to get my shaky ass hands to paint a dot for his pupil

  • Real nice, T-Dog.
  • Cheers T! Can’t wait to get back to glasgow and dig into all the plastic i’ve congratulated myself with
  • Hullo thread. Not playing (yet), but here are some small men I did after almost 20 years of not painting. This is all Tempy's fault, seeing his awesome work made me want to get the brushes out again.

    Edit: Painted in order from left to right, which is why the guy on the left looks so ropey compared to his bros. Sorry you had to be first under the bristles my guy.

  • Lovely stuff, Rouj. What did you use for the grass & flowers?

    I just bought some ghosts.
  • Grass is a mix of a few things:
    Army Painter Green Field Flock
    Army Painter Jungle Tufts
    GW Middenland Tufts
    Gamer Grass 2mm Wild Tufts

    Flowers are:
    Gamer Grass Red/White/Lavender Flowers
    Army Painter Yellow Meadow Flowers

    Basically I knew what I wanted to do, read a guide and then wasn't sure exactly which bits I wanted so just brought a few extra types to mess with stuff.

    It's a big-ish outlay at this point, granted, but it's going to be how I base the rest of the models I end up doing and you get a lot of tufts in each pack, about 77 in each box I think.

    The bases were prepped with GW stirland mud texture paint and dry brushed with steel legion drab and then rakarth flesh to do the soil layer before adding the flock, then placing the tufts.

  • Nighthaunt Gloom paint doesn't work like I thought it would HARRUMPH!
  • What effect are you after?
  • Oooo, is that a Wolfhound Titan?

  • The bottom is the foot of a Warlord Titan, luckily only Adeptus Titanicus so it was £40 rather than £2000

    I was wondering about that foot for a while, couldn't work out where it belongs on the top model. Speaking of which, that shield is a case of form over function, Shirley?
  • Nah, it's got some ion field generator in it or something and it also functions as a shotgun
  • Give me a good gatling gun any day.

    Battling fun with a gatling gun.
  • Bashed these out fairly quickly over a couple of nights with Contrast. Delightful models, really enjoyed painting them. Looking forward to actually playing Warcry

  • WoW, they look absolutely stunning.

    I looked at War Cry is Games Workshop and saw that it was £100, that’s a lot of money. Mind you I’ve spent over that on Gloomhaven and Too Many Bones.

    Yeh, but, Gloomhaven is Gloomhaven.

    Looking good Tempy.

    Is Warcry basically fantasy Kill Team? Not that I can afford 100 notes right now. Been on aboardgame splurge again :/

    Also still working through my Vikings.
  • I particularly like Boulderfist.
  • Cheers folks!

    Warcry is... not quite Kill team. It has a big emphasis on terrain and small warbands clashing, but unlike Kill Team it's a lot quicker, a lot more vicious, and it's simplified from Kill team in that it uses bespoke profiles rather than Full Fat Warhammer profiles for its units. 

    There are also 6 new warbands explicitly for Warcry, all chaos themed and very cool looking, with two more to come, and support for some existing AoS factions.

    £100 is a chunk, but it's £75/85 at third parties, and what you get is insane value, as usual from GW:
    Rule book £25 
    Battleplan Cards £15
    Iron Golems £30
    Untamed Beasts £30
    6 Raptoryx and 6 Furies £??? probably... £20?
    Bloodwind Spoil Terrain set (in the region of £50-70)

    So you're looking at £170-200 worth of stuff - absurd value.

    One thing that looks good from the rulebook is the way it has specific terrain layouts based on the terrain you get in the box, and different objectives, deployments and twists that you shuffle together to get unique missions, as well as a bunch of warband campaigns in the book, and tables for playing long Mordheim style stories.
  • Finished The Unmade tonight, fun Warband to paint - lost the arm of one though, which is mildly annoying

  • At this point I am tempted to just rename this thread "Boardgames and also Tempy posts his shit every week."

    Basically at the finishing point for my Warlord, Caelesti Iudici of the Legio Gryphonicus. Pleased with it I think, waiting for some modelling tape so I can do the patterns on the weapon. I need a bigger lightbox.

  • Doing The Emperor proud there lad!

    Just rename the thread, 'Minature Porn' 

    Could you...er... hang some banners from those guns?


    HANG SOME BANNERS FROM THE GUNS!

  • Oh is this the GW/mini painting thread now?

    Excellent work Tempo, especially that horrible, blasted, wasteland of a base your big robot is walking through.

    In other news, a dad takes his five sons to play in the park after dinner on a fine summer's evening.

    Fuck you I won't colour correct this photo it's supposed to be the evening, I don't give a shit that you can't make out any of the colours properly because of the direct evening sunlight.
    "Let me tell you, when yung Rouj had his Senna and Mansell Scalextric, Frank was the goddamn Professor X of F1."
  • I really wanna hang some banners for it, but I need the weapons to be fairly neutral for the Legio Krtyos Titan I am painting. Magnets mean they can swap easily.

    I really want a crotch banner though.

Howdy, Stranger!
