Allright then, I may have got excited and spent the last hour planning my entry.

This is a rough mockup of what I'm looking at doing. The idea being the Cultists have made these ruins their base camp, and are now being beset on all sides by some marines. All the Cultists except for the shooty one have been converted a little. I'll add bedrolls and loot etc later.

Thoughts?

Brilliant idea and nice little diorama/terrain piece to go with them

that is a nice dio ... also... extra points where it is concerned for by me as you use the classic CD as a base for that dio!!!

gotta agree... looks like is giving a hive five^^...but badass too

Very nice clean hillights there!

It is the most badass of all high fives and he is demanding that you don't leave him hanging!

Loving the progress, proto, looking great

I'm glad you seem to like it thus far! And don't worry vik, the cd shall indeed be the base.

On to the progress: I'm really getting into this! Tonight I removed the Cultists from the bases and actually glued them together, then I added details to the ruins. An ammo box, a drum, a backpack, scrap, and the grave of a dead cultist (to show the brotherhood theme)

What do y'all think? Too cluttered? Not cluttered enough?

deleted, dakka wouldn't load pics for me...



I'd say not cluttered enough

i like it... tho it is mildly heretical to use that ´munda backpack just for scenery

i like the base... .........but i think the actual front needs a bit of love too... maybe some bent out of shape i-beams of steel? for protection? the whole squad as is looks as if they are fighting their last stand in a corner... so a bit of frontal protection might be handy...

and... as i am currently planning a grave (yard) too on my own i am eager to see at least a primed version of that grave... is that hot glue for the grave hill? interesting... will you later on add sand and so on? maybe make it a fresh dug grave and have a shovel still stuck in...?

cheers, vik

Vik that back pack is an ork kommando back pack.

Love the cultists... but I think the front of the base needs a bit more junk.

Thanks Vik, the front of the dio will receive some nice rusty barricades for visual interest

As for sand, the whole base will get a lovely coating of it.

The grave is made out of one of the "fake dog vomit" you get in toy stores for cheap, cut up and used on bases it's good! Without being cut up you can use it for small craters. Do you want a pic?
As for the shovel, I love the idea, I'll get onto it presently

Thanks all
Proto

at panda silly me... and i am still a noob when orks are concerned^^

at prototype x

in my long life i´ve never encountered such a thing like dog vomit...lest a fake one^^ LOL... i know you can get poo as a joke... but fake vomit??? lol...

and yeah... pics please! if possible full bit and then the closeup of the grave!

looking forward to the next update mate!

Well you won't have to wait long!

Before I left this morning, I threw together some mockup barricades. I think this looks a heap better! Also thinking about having one of the Cultists leaping a barrier.

Vik: It's some really odd stuff, it's just rubber chunks by the feel of it, but it's nice and textured. Also, I got your close up of the grave.

cool!... tho i have a suggestion proto...

the upper cultist... the atm look in the wrong direction... it makes littel sense... now with the totally cool looking jumper guy... i think the danger comes from the other side...!

fake voit looks cool (did i type that???) i bet it makes a great crater!

as for the grave... i like that you use a hatchdoor! very good idea!

as for the barricades... much better ideas than my first suggestion of I-beams!!!

oh...forgott to ask... what will happen to the middle hole of the CD? maybe you could add a hatch there too? to suggest a lower basement? like...as if the quartette is protecting/ guarding this entry?....

oh...and will there be an inscription to the tombstone? painted or are you able to carve it in???

Vik! You're a genius! I was having trouble with that hole! I even have the perfect piece to put there!

As for the tombstone I was thinking of freehanding some words. I might carve though, we'll see when I get home

well if you are good enough then painting will suffice...(gonna have to now look again at your gallery^^)

genius? ach... what we don´t do for that warm feeling^^

Everyone... Vik has rigged the comp.. that is all.

ha! you can´t prove anything! nothing...you´ll never catch me!

We are a lynch mob, we don't need any proof! Quick, get him! And remember, we don't need him alive!

for some peeps even an ocean between them and me is insufficient...sheesh...blood craven islanders...*shakes head*

So, I'm hoping to finish up my Meganobz for this round:

Hopefully the fact that they have been "in progress" off and on since Feb 2011 isn't a disqualifying factor


Da Marinez - Codename: Light'ning and Codename: Thunda'amma


Da Heroz - Codename: Predatork and Codename: Warmachine

Hopefully the fact that they have been "in progress" off and on since Feb 2011 isn't a disqualifying factor

well... it is a blessing really...for us...as they might not get fully painted

just kidding... they look highly cool... loking forward to the lick of paint on them
