If I were to do it again, probably not thát long, though the watery bits take time if only for drying. This particular effort I started in February before moving house, haven't been able to work on it for most of the past half year. There were also some catastrophic blunders on my end that resulted in me chiselling out the pool and redoing it. Twice. I do have enough build pics to work up a little 'how not to' article.

Cracking stuff! Love the temple.

Thanks! Now to finally build that Suppression team...

Gotta get me some of these... Good rendition Btw

Nice scratch built scenery and great looking miniatures!

Thanks guys!

Suppression team done! Added another rocky terrain bit as well, thinking of making something larger around the rocky stuff as it's a bit of a contrast with my previous muddy terrain.











With the rest of the guys:



Some more angles (also angels) in my gallery.

_Finally_ some more guys done. The Karist Heavy Weapon Troopers are some fabulous resins and also gamewise a nice addition to the force. These are magnetized so I can fit any of the weapon types to the models. Ravager Pulse Cannon not pictured.
No terrain piece to go with these guys, but they are photographed on my new WIP forest table that's been taking a lot of my hobby time the last months.













Next up, Keeper with Angel Hellblasters

Angel Keeper and Hellblasters done! I think I'm now all caught up with the Karist releases, yay . What's next...













All the Angels together:

Angel force is looking very nice there

Yup, looking good!

I wish I had taken a peak at this thread earlier...I don't tend to wander out of the P&M Blog section very often, so I miss all the other cool stuff on Dakka.

Job very well done on those Karist heavy weapons troopers, and the Angels look fantastic as well!

What are you using to texture the rocky terrain pieces? I love the creative use of the terrain sprue bits on that one.

Can't wait to see more

Thanks!
The rocks are just foam carved and tore at with knives and fingers, sometimes prodded and scored with hot things like a soldering iron, until it looks suitably rocky. I then paint it with textured wall paint.

With the last few releases, there's now plenty of Broken stuff to assemble a proper force. I'd already painted a couple infantry dudes which will get assigned to some squad when I get the force worked out, and now I've added a full Rabble Fire Support squad and a Gnolti, because it's awesome. All done in the very quick and dirty paint scheme I chose for the Broken.





I've got over twenty more Broken guys assembled and undercoated, so I guess the next few instalments will be all about the Broken

Broken force underway...

I've now finished pretty much all the plastics I have planned for my 'Band of Broken', though I may yet change my mind a little. For 120 pts, I still need to build and paint some of the resins. I'm currently working towards:

Chieftain with beam pistol and customized weapons, grenade harness, trophy melee weapon, xeno spotter;
6-strong Rabble squad with chem launcher and glue rifle;
6-strong Rabble squad with auto slugger and longbeam rifle;
5-strong Rabble Assault squad with Marsayan Hypnotist and 3x massive torch;
6-strong Rabble Assault squad with Hakoyu Grand Master and 3x EMP harpoon;
2 Sig Jammers
Gnolti
5-strong Rabble Fire Support squad with 3x longbeam rifle

Another Chieftain, with customized weapons, extensive cybernetics, grenade harness, slug rifle;
6-strong Rabble squad with chem launcher and EMP harpoon;
4-strong Rabble Fire Support squad with 3x auto slugger.

For about 120 points. Bosses have some random weapons. I do want a Pa'ku as well though, so work in progress

Anyway, here's the pictures:


All the painted Broken so far.


The Gnolti, whom I got in the very same pose I already posted a pic of, sorry.

Nice Love the Jammer in particular. I like how you have managed to combine a consistent colour scheme with the randomness of the broken's aesthetic.

Thanks! Painting in a big batch is particularly suitable for doing a 'random yet consistent' colour scheme as you just pick a color and put it on 20 guys, but on different parts. Using the same wash over most everything also helps. I tried to have browns and dark reds as the most prominent colours.

Looking good!

The earthy tones on the Gnolti work really well, and yeah, the Jammer looks great!

Been a fair few months since the last update, but I did paint some things since then. Nearly up to date now with all Maelstrom's Edge releases so far and ready for the Artarian Remnant released at Salute this weekend

All the painting is of the quick and dirty variant, since that's the only way I can get anything done these days. I also did 20 pieces of quick and dirty terrain: some ruins, shrubberies and marshy ground. The shrubs feature in the below picks as blurry fore- and background, the rest will probably feature at some later point.

So:



Master Bot Handler for the Epirian Foundation





Contractor Drones for the Epirian Foundation





SecDef Tactical Team for the Epirian Foundation





Chieftain with xeno spotter for the Broken





Tech Chieftain for the Broken





Hakoyu Grand Master for the Broken





Pa'ku Artillery for the Broken

Had a great time playtesting with your Karist and Epirians this week, they look even better on the tabletop!

Hopefully next time we play I'll have more of my own force assembled/painted...

Thanks, looking forward to that!

I stopped by to see if you'd shown your plog any love recently...do you have another one going? I'm sure you are super busy with family stuff these days, but hope you still have a little time to spend with your hobby occasionally as well.

I've been super busy as well, and have been struggling to set aside time to paint and post too. I'm just making the rounds to all of my Dakka friends to say hey and check on what they've been up to.

I hope all is well with you and yours!

Hi Dave, all is well on my end! Not much hobby time though. I did make some good progress on my forest table, but way behind on the mini's. A base coat on a Remnant suit is all I've done. There might be better times coming in a couple of months though

Ooh, let's see the table!


Also, I realised I hadn't commented on the previous batch of pics, but I really like the earthy tones on the Pa'ku!

Also, the dark grey Contractor Drones look wonderfully menacing.

Thanks Iain!

Here's the table as per today:



Still a fair bit of work to do, but the major elements are done.

That's looking very nice! The compound is ace.

I love your Karist table/backdrop - do you have something somewhere on how that was done? The figures all look great too. I really want one of those Artillery critters.

Thanks kestral! If it's the forest table you mean, then yes, I do actually have a separate topic on that here: https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/747761.page

Thanks! I'll check it out.
