I finally got around to painting some of these pretty miniatures. Three more factions to go!

More pics at my blog and thanks for looking.

They look brilliant. Really nicely done. Definitely need to pick that game up.

Nifty! This is the first I've heard of the game, looks neat.

Thanks!

Forbidden Stars is a great game. Surprisingly good. Even my friends who couldn't care less about 40k love it. It's stands on it's own.

Coo, they look lovely. If you get a spare moment, could you post some pics of bits next to something for scale, please? It looks like some of these might be useable for Epic gaming.

Very cool Sir.

Here you go! The Lychguard dude is on a 32mm base.

Here are my World Eaters, more pics on my blog.

Thanks for looking!

Wow! So NICE!! Can't wait to see the Orks!

Wow I haven't seen many repaints of this game but these are great! I may have to paint mine now... darn you!

Everything looks great! I can't help but laugh at those Craftworld sculpts though, they look like Bugles!

Chaos looks fantastically evil.

I'm getting started with Orks. I'm not set on the color scheme and would like some input.

Orks in Forbidden Stars are supposed to represent Evil Sunz. Here's what Evil Sunz look like:



It's a great color scheme, but the thing is, it's not green. At all. The only green parts the Evil Sunz have is Ork skin, and Forbidden Stars models do not have any Ork skin on it.

So I tried to compromize: painting red, yellow and rusted iron to primary surfaces, green to everything else. I'm not sure I made something that looks good, it's too colorful I think. Too colorful even for Orks.



I don't know. Should I drop the yellow? Or drop the green and commit to the color theme fully? Something else maybe? Give me your thoughts on this.

Thanks,

Here are some work in progress pics. I really like where this is going. I have 4 more unit types left but they are only 3 models each.

Thanks for looking!

Those look real nice, especially with the flames.

Thanks. The rest of the Ork army is finally done!

There are more pics on my blog, and thanks for looking.

Wow, really great looking Forbidden Stars pieces! It never occurred to me to have them painted.

As for the game itself. It's good. I've played it a few times. I find the combat is a bit drawn out, but all in all I like it.

I think I like FS the most with two players, as when combat happens, you're always involved. Also, with two players you have only one player to work against and they can only work against you, so placing orders becomes almost chess-like. It's way more intense. With that said, no matter the number of players, combat gets much faster with experience.

Needless to say, I love the game

The smurfs are done, and with them, the entirety of the game! I'll let the pics do the talking. There's a ton of pics on my blog so take a look if you care, I don't wanna overwhelm this thread. Thanks for looking!

Nice to see the Smurfs are finished, +1
