In the absence of wings, perhaps several bunches of helium balloons? It's only lift you're after, you've got your thrust sorted

Alas, no. This is the Vulture conversion kit, I found it (and some Punisher Cannons) on eBay for $40 total. I just happen to have a ton of leftover/scrap Valkyrie parts, and I THOUGHT I had a pair of wings...but I didn't.

Also? I didn't notice I had hit 50 pages. Uh, cake for everyone!

mmm Zombie Cake!

Well to be fair you did celebrate page 50 by coming out as a drag-zombie, not many folks have done that yet!

Here's to another 50 pages of re-building and reclamation, plus more cake




So what did you do with the matching right wings

MORE ZOMBIE CAKE!

After I am finished with the Vulture, I'm going to be left with a bag of parts that, frankly, are not good enough to make another Valk out of. Sad, but true. Their destiny is terrain, because I DO have enough to build a crashed Valkyrie!

We should compel Brian to celebrate 50 pages by building something outlandish... but then he does that all the time anyway... :z

The point is not in reading posts falling in your (dead) ears, but in reading those when you're back....

So WELCOME HOME AGAIN, matey!!!!!

Long time no see, and it's nice to hear from you again !

the cake is a lie

JUst hold on there pardner, I'll have some parts left too from my Vulture kit....

 dsteingass wrote:

What parts?

I'll know more when it's finished

You'll have the two heavy bolter mounts, the tail pieces, whatever weapons the Vulture can't mount, the nose (minus cockpit interior unless you don't plan on modelling that), and whatever landing skids you choose not to use.

Don't forget both Valk engines and all the gubbinz

Was there a choice of skids with the vulture? I don't recall that, wonder what I did with mine?

..So we'd need 1 fuselage, two wings, and the tail booms to make another flyer

NO! You'd need 1 fuselage, two wings and the tail booms to make another valk

Just a random flyer is a completey different thing - might not even need anything else

It doesn't have to be a valk, I'd gladly trade top engine speed for a ordinance package of 20 twin-linked autocannons

Well, in that case yoy probably will want a fuselage and wings of some sort

Thank you Captain Obvious...Sir

Just sayin', that's all.

You can get a flyer out of the cockpit and tail sections if you try - but don't think it would hold your planned load-out

But Brian could find a way..

Especially as I have, you know, an entire Fuselage lying around.

No tail booms to speak of.

Well. My friend's game, Artemis: The Spaceship Bridge Simulator, now holds the high honor of being played in the SpaceX Mission Control Room, in Los Angeles, CA.

Pretty cool. Never seen a set-up like that.

oooohhhh That looks really cool!

Hey, look what *I* got!



I'd just like to say that the FLIGHT DECK is getting kinda FULL.



Popped the canopies, the cockpit interiors were installed on the Sky Talons, so I should be able to sand-and-lacquer recover the glass, and maintain my interior detailing streak.

So:

4 Valkyrie/Vendetta Airframes
1 Vulture Airframe
2 Skytalon Airframes
2 Arvus Lighter Airframes

I own nine Sentinels, but I need to see if Talons can carry regular Sentinels or only "Drop Sentinels". Not that it matters, much. My other "problem" is that these are Imperial Navy vehicles, and I want to keep the theme of a screaming orbital descent. This means that I may need to mod the Skytalons to hold some form of drop shielding, which the vehicles stand on. We shall see.

Hi kids! It is time for another lesson! Today, Brian tries out airbrush pre-weathering!

Primed white, with light grey random spray, and then dark grey panel lines.

Sky Talons





Vulture and Valk/Vendetta. The Valk is not pre-weathered, it has been worked on by hand with brushes, and some masked-off areas to create lighter panels, to show that it has been recovered from severe damage. This is the ex-chaos salvage Valk.









So, in the span of a few hours, I have pushed four vehicles through to a state where I'm ready to detail and decal. I really do love airbrushing.

Thanks, Galorn!

NO worries Hella lot easier aint it.

That's some nice work there. I have serious airbrush envy, as mine is packed away and the wife has been using hers for cake today, mocking me.

A tone of Quinjets

Nicely done sir!

Very nicely done Brian. Welcome to the airbrushing horde!

Great work Brian! Although, If it were me, I'd preshade heavier on the panel lines, then touch up the panels with the basecoat, specifically on those boom panel lines, unless of course you are going to add camo or masked markings still, then ignore me

I don't have a very precise airbrush, so I found it was hard to do more than shade heavy, and then go over pretty much the entire hull. My 'panel lines' were also very, very wide because of it.

Hello ladies and gentlemen!

I could use your assistance. I need to figure out a good set of Conscripts for my Praetorian forces. Now, as the fine gentlemen will be representing Imperial Navy forces, I have considered using Cadians and or Catachans as low-level Navy grunts, indentured humans, squabbies, etc. Imagine hive gangers from Necromunda, and you're not that far off.

My problem, of course, is that it really doesn't 'tie in' well to the theme. I have some ideas which I will try out.

So I'm throwing the floor open. I've tried Empire minis, but with their tights and poofy sleeves, they really don't cut it. They're also weedly little things. I've looked through the various GW ranges of 'human' figures, and nothing's really jumping to mind.

Any ideas?

Including 3rd party? Victoria Miniatures would probably be a good answer. Otherwise, some sort of kitbash - flagellants with cadian arms + heads for example.

They're a bit butch for me....

Just a quick snap. I'm replacing the central tower, but I wanted y'all to see just how STUPID this thing is. I mean, seriously. Ground to top of the tower is fourteen inches. someone needs to chaos-ify this, paint it pink, and slam it on the table, saying, "EXCUSE ME, but I need room for my PINK CITADEL and its FOURTEEN INCH TOWER."

sigh.

Anyways, there's some servitors on the battlements. Can you play "spot the odd one out"? Sure you can. Zoom-able in the gallery for those who wish to play along at home.

Sounds like you could use a little inspiration. Minus just finished his FOR a couple weeks ago... here's the link. I'ts gorgeous!

Though... the pink, fleshy idea is pretty darn funny!

Even at 14" it's still ridiculously small. You've seen me go off about comparative scale before, so I'll restrain myself as much as possible this time. I will however offer this size chart as an example of why scale drives me so mad in this game:



And yes, I consider that to be a smaller to mid-sized building depending on the planet.

*eye twitches*

I like how they sized the real buildings as the spires for the 40k one

Well, Skalk, we just have to MUDDLE ON THROUGH.

I'll also take this moment to point out that in 'real time' the average 5-turn game would take appx 15-30 seconds.

and then there is weapon ranges! ~sigh!~

OH yeah .. its a game! Whew~

LOL when in the 25 year history of 40k has proper scale been a concern? never. You just have to let it go. If you care about scale, GW is not for you. The whole truescale marine phenomenon is the stupidest thing I've ever heard of. Why make marines truescale when not a single human is truescale?
you've GOT to let it go...

I care not for scale. After all, most starship miniatures games I play, the true 'scale' of the miniature would be the size of the top of the flight stand peg.

My complaint about the fort is the massive wang tower. WANG. TOWER.

*froth*

Oh well. Once I replace it with working smoke stacks, life will be ever so much better.

For what it is worth, I think the tower looks quite cool. I'm going to be putting a Shrine of the Aquila together soon. It's pretty tall as well. Excellent LoS blocker. I would like to eventually get a Fortress but it's not going to actually be the building it is intended to be.

Question for you since you already have one- on most GW building panels it has a plain backside. Is this true for the FoR as well? That will be a huge selling point for me if it does.

Yes and no.

The 'inside' of the various panels are blank, but they're NOT modular and do NOT work well with CoD panels. Additionally, the tower is molded in a way that the interior is minimal plastic use, thus rounded and bumpy. And since the tower is narrower at the top, it doesn't work with CoD pieces, either.

GW really missed a chance to make something great with this kit.

In fairness though the wall of martyr's kits look really good! And it's nice to see a GW scenery kit for 40k that isn't either city, forest-y, or just a hill. (I'm ignoring the planetstrike stuff here cos that was designed with the expansion as opposed to just the kit - and yes I know the same happened with COD but they've become more just scenery than the expansion).

I am on the side of the fence that thinks the WOM kits look like crap. But that's because the whole PILES OF DEAD CADIANS LOL look doesn't do ANYTHING for me. At all.

Uh as a person who actually painted a full set of WoM... They are crap. they were designed to 80%...

<Snip> Repost from my General terrain thread.

It looks unfinished because its modeled that way... no seriously any more detailed shading makes it look worse... get a close up look at a set if you can. there are what in FPS games are referred to as "clipping errors" EVERYWHERE. Boxes in walls. Skulls where a single skull stretches to infinity etc... Ease of "assembly" 4 of 5, to 5 of 5 depending. (the bunker is the 4), Replicated tessellated details everywhere. the SAME EXACT BODY was used on no fewer than two points on Each "straight "section and once on each of the "T" emplacements and twice on the "bunker." The longer you look the more odd things you will find. It looks an awful lot like there was a highly detailed and half assed resin master created, that was then vacuformed, then the vacuform was turned into the production mold.

I would strongly recommend another trench terrain piece as a "pre fab" purchase. as a fully assembled and cohesively painted piece it works, but it will never be "pretty". The Ageius lines are an example of the right way to do it, the wall of martyrs... not so much
</Snip>

an eaxample of the "clipping errors" is visible in this pic, notice the deceased cadian torso being stretched down into infinity...

So, it's MEANT for black undercoat and a light drybrushing only?

Yes. Maybe some minor detailing. And from the position of the bodies, the walls are being ATTACKED by Cadian Guardsmen. Think about that for a moment. "Imperial Defense Line".

I'm not buying the WoM personally, I don't like it for that reason Brian. Dave Andrews usually doesn't disappoint like this...

See Brian, you just need to start designing and selling your own barricades...

So get it painted and too me as soon as possible.

Yes... I have your display to do. You still have time!

I suppose you want an ORDINATUS, too. Man. Never satisfied, are you?

Feel the love~!

FEEEL ITTTT!!!

Glad the components worked. Got to love IP law remember folks "fair use" is your friend.

It is important to note:

One of the 'bunker' wall pieces was redesigned to be more 'ad-mech', and then I handed it off to Galorn to cast up copies. He came through with flying colors.

Rivetzone. Your source for custom casting, as well as awesome bases and bits!

..And the ONLY source in the entire world for 28mm Nuka Cola machines!

Very cool. Must say Romanus Eunt Domus in red on.

LOL! Life of Brian I presume?

I can't even WATCH that movie, anymore.

40 Necromunda Bulkheads and a large selection of Necromunda carboard terrain bits are on their way to me.

AH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH.

SCORE! I know how exciting that feeling is, I hauled a huge score about a year ago and upon arrival I promptly put them in my Necromunda terrain tote and haven't done a thing w/ them since.

^ Oh man, do I know that feeling...

Are they there yet?

Yes, the arrived. Been working on my Adepticon Army and life. Life kinda sucks right now.

: (

Boo. Rubbish. You have my sympathy, and manly fist bumping/bro hugs.

Tell me about Adepticon, why I should go there, and what would I do for 3 days if I don't know the rules of any games?

DUH.. Gits is there!


Check out someof the Adepticon blogs on Dakka.. that should be a visual reason enough.. you can always ( pause...wait for it) learn the ( pause ) rules?
Besides they demo a lot of games and you get to hang with us....no.....I mean Gits!!!!!

Stay positive brother! ... never surrender!

Adpeticon:

Classes - Many, I believe, are below your skill level, but they have a LOT of classes. And I believe you know that even a basic level class may should you a technique you don't know, or a refinement of a technique you have not run into. They also have mid and high-level classes. All are hands-on. I took home several pounds of Hirst arts casting stuff, and got casting TOTALLY de-mystified for me.

Social - Meet a LOT of Dakka-ites. Drinking! Carousing!

Gaming - Demos, Demos, Demos, mini tournaments, Demos, Demos, DEMOS.

Shopping - Starting with Forge World and down to many small publishers/producers.

Bitz - AMAZING bitz stores, and on the last day, individuals selling stuff for dirt cheap they don't want to take home.

If I hear "read the rules" one more fething time....there is a big difference between reading them, and KNOWING them. Knowing what to add/subtract when it's your roll, so people don't have to wait on you to flip through pages and pages..I just don't have that much real, actual gaming experience...but Brian answered my question..he knows I like bitz..and beer

Work. In. Progress.

I have that same table at my place. Airbrushing booth on the left, bits bins in the middle, bottled paints on the right.

I've got one of those plastic folders and an older wooden one.

I really love it when a plan comes together. Bwah. Hah. Hah.

See..now THAT is a proper mess where you can get some work done!!

Oh, sure, you say. But aren't you, you know, supposed to be making an Adepticon Army?

Hmm. Sure! Have a WiP:

No more than the rest of us. Took me an YB 3 hours to do 3 turns the other night.. Point is.. you gotta start somewhere... and playing with a bunch of great guys like the Wardens is good no matter win or lose.

That's so cool Brian... I remember those from the old days!

Wow. A proper retro chicken bot. Nice.

I have some old GW robots that I should paint up and add to the display!

@ Brian- That is an excellent reproduction of that robot. I have it and I've never done anything w/ it. I might have to change that at some point.

And then...

Oh yeah...chicken-bots agogo

Looking sweet so far Bri

Why, yes. I am, in fact, cutting up a rare, OOP Games workshop Cities of Death battle mat.

Why do you have that look on your face?

That's a look of approval

I'm all about cutting up rare OOP stuff - there should be more of it going on

Too right. Folk are too bloody precious

Hey, look! A diversion!







The table...is set!

OOOh diversioney!
..But the bug was a diversion from the fliers, which wasa diversion from the starport, which was a diversion from the Ordinatus, which still sports my MK 1 Nuka Cola prototype?

Nice. Is that built in craters I see in the pictures?

Yes, the battlemap had craters and floors for all the buildings, open spaces, etc. It was quite the map! Too bad GW will NEVER PUT ONE OUT EVER AGAIN.

More progress.

Using 3M spray mount 77 and a rolling pin. Noticing that edges don't want to stay down. I'll have to touch up with glue, and weigh everything down for 24 hours, I think. Thankfully, the building sections can achieve that by stacking themselves up. I'll flip the 2x4 road sections upside-down for their glue setting time.

MEANWHILE...

I've painted the edges of the templates with light grey, to simulate concrete curbs (kerbs for you weirdo Brits), as well as cover up the fact that I did not use a guide to make my ripsaw cuts.



Tools of the trade.



Curbs!

I hate spray glue..never works right for me. If that fails, get one of those household trim-painting rollers (6 inches long or so) and roll on white glue.

Ayup. I have a lot of experience with 3M spray mount, so I should be set. I just need to remember setting time, etc.

Hey, look! A diversion

LOL

creative minds seldom concentrate on one thing...and you´re bloddy creative as it gets...

that robot chicken walker hopefully sees some paint sooner than later tho...

The baseboard is now complete.



After a short internal debate, I am going to glue the raised sections directly to the supporting MDF boards. The purpose of this project is to build an ultra-portable cityfight board. To achieve this, the actual buildings need to be removed from the baseboards, and then tesselate/fit into a single box easily. This means a few design considerations come into play:

1) The buildings themselves (walls, etc) cannot have floors. This would increase bulk, and difficulty of storage.
2) The buildings themselves need to have a height consideration. More than a couple of floors, and some way of dismantling them needs to come into play. Obviously with rare earth magnets, this becomes a lot easier.
3) The buildings are going to be mostly two-sided, as there is a LOT of corner space here.
4) Creating pathways between upper floors allows me to use the conveniently-labelled 4x4 section of the original map for skirmish games such as Necromunda. Look for the yellow-and-black hazard striping that separates the furthers 2x4 section of board. Good design on GW's part.
5) Land Raiders will not fit up the roads without a little work (need to set back the walls about 1/4" from the sidewalks, give or take.
6) Superheavies are RIGHT OUT.
7) Depending on the height of the buildings, many Flyers will be problematic. I kinda don't have a problem with that...

Because of #1 and #2, I can glue the floor templates down to the underlying 2x4 MDF boards. This means easier setup and takedown.

Yes, I understand I can not glue the bases down, and use the buildings elsewhere. Just lay down the floor template, lay down the building, and go. I may still do this, but the primary goal here is to get a very portable, very playable, easy to set up cityfight board into my inventory. Everything else is tertiary at best.

I will ponder this on the tree of woe, while I enjoy the snowpocalypse.

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd a size test. For those of you who haven't ever seen this Battlemat, here's an idea of how tight things actually are. There are sidewalks, which allow for sponsons to exist. But that land raider? NOT SO MUCH. Good job, GW.

Of course, this mat was made before the large oval base was invented...or non-forge-world flyers...



But the artwork on the mat? ACES!

Still very impressive.. thou the LR may not fit. Not every city in the Imperium with city planning needed to consider this when being built.

As for aircraft.. not many are designed for combat inside and around tall buildings ( today even) anyway so that makes perfect sense. Usually they bomb you from miles away or miles above . So I think it's very realisitc. citys are flattened or taken by boots on the ground!

(Yes, I know my avatar is still Christmas. BUT IT IS SO VERY PRETTY LIKE ME.)

Look! Bundt cake!











This building is in honor of ArbitorIan.

That is badass Brian!

I love it!

Oh very cool Brian, liking that a lot

This is image #667. The previous image is the IMAGE OF THE BEAST. And now you know.

Work. In. Progress.



Looking at my available wall sections, including the sexy necromunda bulkheads, I probably do not have enough STUFF for the table. However, I do have a lot of Necromunda cardboard terrain.

I could pull a Dave or a Skalk, and kinda go to town on replicating in plasticard...OR I could TOTALLY paint the entire town in garish 90's Games Workshop schemes, with hazard stripes EVERYWHERE...and use the Necromunda terrain AS IS.

I'm sorely tempted.

I also have the foamcore cityfight terrain templates, too.

Again, Tempting as hell.

Thoughts?

Make all the terrain! And flyers. And mecanicus.

The flyer is a bitch, let me tell you. Still pissed at FW for pulling the Aquila Lander.

Mechanicus moves forward, I have the cultists, some more servitors on the way, my HQ, two of three Demon Princes, all three Chaos Spawn, the fort (which I have to trace) and the Forgefiend. I have to build a third Daemon Prince, finish the flyer, and build a Giant Chaos Spawn. Uh, I mean, another robot. ^_^

Then, it is to the airbrush!

Now, now, don't get distracted from your distraction project.

Not enough stuff to do there Bri, you need more projects on the go......

My my Brian, I thought id come on here to return the favour of you commenting so very much on my blog and I have to say im very glad i did! Also i'm totally overwhelmed, your hobby table must be a giant rotating disk and you just sit there manically painting and glueing whatever happens to be passing at the time! I thought i was an ADD hobbyist!

So I shouldn't mention my all-girl-action-squad-inquisitorial-band?

Shouldn't that be all-girl-action-squad-inquisitorial-KAZOO-band? Cos otherwise I'm not interested.

Umm....couldn't help but notice you use OR as though these were mutually exclusive options......

AND works much better I think

Yeah, I'm seriously considering AND. This project, as they are want to do, keeps mutating. But I'd like this to be done, not linger on like many projects I tackle.

Good point, well made


Well..if you paint up your ready plastics to match the old-skool terrain you could count it as finished, then start on replicating in plastic a la Dave as further distraction projects after.....

I'm not sure I want to replicate in plastic. The goal of this board is a highly-portable cityfight board. If you look at most cityfight terrain boards, they are *NOT* portable.

One of the advantages of the old Necromunda terrain is that it DOES disassemble. There's a value, there. The question becomes "what can be done to enhance the terrain?"

Also, when creating a board like this, you start thinking about other design considerations. Fire lanes. Line of sight. 'fairness'.

'Fairness'? Meh. Modular is the way forward...

Replication al la Dave takes a stupid amount of time!

It needs approached for the skill excersize in itself.

But the results are well worth it

Somewhat hard to do modular on a fixed board, with odd template sizes. But it is coming along. The key, I have found, is an understanding of the true need for terrain that blocks LOS. Otherwise, CC armies just DIE.

So, upon assembling the pile, I find that I am in the possession of both a full set of Necromunda terrain *AND* a full set of the Outlanders terrain. I suspect I'm missing a few bulkheads, but that's trivially easy to fix.

So I'm going to go for it. Breaking out the superglue, going make the buildings a little more robust for the purposes of travel, as well as ease of transport.

Excellent project.. I so do love a CC city fight!

Colour me light blue and hazard stripes with envy...

More city growth. Necromunda and Outlanders buildings, the Manufactorum gains the second floor walkway, elevated road/piping supports are under construction, and a corner building is mostly complete.

Plastruct trusses are on order, so I can reinforce the necromunda/outlanders terrain.

So far, there will be:

Elevated Road/Pipe (swappable) - Skyshield supports and plasticard
Refinery - Necromunda Terrain
Tank Farm - Containers, piping, and some of my precious Chip Trays
Vehicle depot - Outlanders Terrain
Manufactorum (bombed) - Cityfight Terrain
Habitation Modules (bombed) - Cityfight Terrain
Arbites Precinct - Bastion/Skyshield

If I need more filler, I will use some of the older GW templates, cityfight bitz, and plasticard. Some Pegasus buildings may also appear as money allows.

Progress, click to zoom.

Looking great Brian. That's quite an undertaking my friend!

Looking great, that'll keep you quiet for a bit..

That looks like a very exciting project.

Going to get a couple of small 40K games in this weekend! Here's some more CITYFIGHT goodness.





I only need a few more tiles filled in! I've got the pieces for a 'city park', more statue 'honored imperium' terrain, as well as a crashed aquila lander, to break up some of the open spaces. Finally, I have my eye on some craters.

Almost done!

--B.

That's a fantastic, logical layout. Time to get your paint on! Mind you, I think the ordinatus engine would struggle to get down the street...

Woohoo! Fantastic board and precinct. If I'm ever in Arlington MA, I'll make sure to bring a garrison.....

Thats looking fantastic, I'd love to play on a table like that.

AH! Woah, talkin zombs again

The show has illustrated the futility of trying to defend a farmhouse from zombies, so they find a prison..makes perfect sense to me.

Yes, but that dam prison gets over run by zombies every second or third episode, and now we have that dam Governor being a pain in the arse

I have to ask this as me and my mate at work are always discussing this, who do you hope dies next

I just thought I would jump in Nice board by the way Brian subbed cant believe I have missed this before and you're a league member

Deepest apologies but I am here now to ruin your day LOL

Man, LDD is here. This thread is RUINED.

Well, Rick losing his marbles didn't help much either, oh now I'm caught up, and have to wait to see, but I still home Merle dies colorfully

I want either Carl that dam annoying kid or the Governor, I know he is supposed to be the bad guy but come on get on with it Dave you love it and Merle will plod on for a while me thinks

Yep thread ruined the dog is here LOL although I will offer helpful advice and praise

O and steal and borrow ideas I see fit

You gunna get some pics up soon Brian? Or are we going to be shocked and amazed in Chicago?

Soon, I hope. PAX East is this weekend, and what little brain I have left is very focused on that right now. And boltgun metal. Lordy, is there boltgun metal.

I am going to have some thoughts about things, after Adepticon. But the $85 giant Tau robot has pushed me over the edge. Even if I buy only used/abandoned junk off of eBay, how can I justify playing a game whose company so clearly and obviously has abandoned all pretense of being the company I once loved? I keep reading how people are 'so excited' and 'a golden age' and it's all bs. Total Stockholm Syndrome.

I have to quit.

Truely making this a harder game to stay current and affordable

Yeah that price is just stupid and you have to buy the codex on top of that and thats if you already have some Tau figures.

I've been looking into other skirmish games recently and there's quite a few interesting ones about.

For now I have other (already paid for) armies to paint.

I agree completely Brian. I understand they are shooting for a premium product here but a lot of these prices are a bit excessive.

Speaking of Adepticon, how goes the mechanicum force you're bringing? I am very excited to see what neat ideas you've put together to go along side the ordinatus.

Everything's got a lovely basecoat (thanks, airbrush) and major metallic parts. I'm in the process of adding hazard stripes, painting 20 figures worth of servitor flesh, etc. Boring as hell, but I found that Soft Body Black does a great job of making pallid, disgusting skin tones pop!
