I picked up the kitchen scale for about $30. It would be difficult I suppose


Here's The Steamborg's Base

i better say it early lest someone gets his undies in an uproar...: "flanges"...

those will be a sick bunch when you are done with them... have you already made up your mind as to how you are gonna paint them?

by the way... those blown pipes look very good!

Thanks Vik! I want to use a green and bronze chaos scheme on the Steamborg and the arachnids. The Rail Golem I want to try OSL from his chest vents, the MIners will just be in dirty mining gear

sounds all like good planning^^

and OSL, will this be your first attempt? good luck... and make lotsa pics^^

Airbrushes are the absolute gods of osl, makes it so easy.

I've never tried it before, it'll be interesting.

lol.... the peeps i currently work with or those that educate me always use the term "exciting" lol.... kinda a word for everything they can´t find words for^^

OSL's easy if you think about it carefully.

amazingly enough it is...

Its all about following the correct steps at the correct time...

only the tools are different... but only just

Well we'll worry about that when we get to it, for now..The Steampunk Arachnid swarm bases


Magnetized, so the spiders can be broken up in-game






Now I just need more 30mm bases for the single spider option

Wow that is such an innovative idea, seriously impressive dave!

Dude those bases are awesome!
What are the pipes from? They really sell the piece.

they look like dwarf gekko and I love it!

Thanks guys!
The pipes are a mix of mine and Hirst Arts. I don't have the mold for these, just a few casts

Here is Ramos

Finally a figure worthy of this old base

And His Avatar Of Invention

Featuring a Zinge Industries round hatch!

@RW- WHat is Dwarf gekko?

Bravo on the bases! Your attention to detail never ceases to amaze.

Its a metal gear in Metal Gear Solid 4, my favorite game series

Thanks Marty!
Ahh RW..The last one I played was 2 or 3, I got al lthe way to the end and could never beat the bastard.

Galorn you rock!

They are all primed now, I still have 6 more spiders and a Brass Arachnid unbult. I'm not sure if it's legal to take what with what yet, I need to read the soulstone stuff a bit more.

Loving what you've done with the arachnids, very nice

I like the bases, they work really well for them.

As for what can take what your master has a soulstone cache which gets added to the amount you have agreed on for a game. That's the points you have to spend on a crew for the game, though it is good to have left overs for your master to use as they can help him out. I think the maximum he can have to use was 8 or something. It's been a while since I've read through that section though so could be off. But, if you have the points you can pretty much take anything from your own faction there. The main restriction I think comes into it is the rare thing; where on some models it might say "Rare 5" which simply means you can only have 5 at a time. If they die during a game and you can build more, it's fine just as long as it doesn't pass that limit.

Kirai has it on the spirits she summons every time something dies so she doesn't flood the table with a wall of them.

Thanks guys!

Ramos can control any Construct from any faction, and he can also summon stuff and build spiders with scrap, and I've got 0 ranged units, only Ramos and his Avatar as casters really, He can ignore the Special Forces limit when they are Union assets, but all the rules for all my models are scattered throughout the 4 books.

While those dry, I finished construction of one wall

A little wonky at places until I gave up with PVA and started precision welding with CA and accellerator.

"It's Sgt Harold Llyod...."

eh?
