Damn it Wyrmalla, slow down lad!

All that's stopping me from opening up another dozen threads is coming up with the cringe worthy titles...

Ack, there's no pictures on this page! Fix it!




God damn you automatically appended last post.

Also, .gifs.

I can deal with 100+ pages of this. So do it!!!

You already managed to paint it as well?

You're at least a hundred times quicker with these things than I am

I begrudge myself that it takes me so long to paint stuff. One model in two or three hours really means I'm skiving watching Youtube videos and on Facebook for a third of that time at least.

I've started piecing together the last members of my initial Frostgrave warband (two more thugs and three arches. There'll be a dog too, but I CBA sculpting a Nix-Hound right now). Even with those done I'll still need to make all the Daedra (why oh why did I have to pick a Summoner...), so I can't expect to be able to play an actual game for at least a week. ...And then when I do play one I'll find out that my choice of soldiers is crap and I'll have to make a load of new ones. Meh, I have a new job starting on Monday, so don't expect this pace to keep up unfortunately. Boo hiss. =/

By page 36 of this (where my Fallout thread is) expect to see a scale replica of Vivec's cantons to turn up or something.

Including invisible chair to keep him afloat?

Holy gak Vivec (the city) would be so COOL. May help me navigate too haha

Oh you're making me melt, right in the childhood feels. Though I'm a filthy scumlord and played in this order: Oblivion-->Skyrim---> Morrowind. I wish I knew more about Morrowind but, I'm really having a hard time with Morrowind as the weapon hitboxes in the steam version suck. (So by the logic, I somehow have ended up in Daggerfall.)

Really turned me off of something so grand and iconic to the Elder Scrolls series. Anyways, as others said I would be soooooo down for 100 pages of this. Also, how many cups of coffee have you injected into the blood stream to keep this pace?

Also, am I alone that I feel bad because when I see a /great/ blog, it inspires me to give what the person is doing a shot. Like Phutarf and his Death Guard, STC and his 30k army, Weirdingway's Navigators, and then finally your elder scrolls stuff. It makes me feel cheap and unoriginal but, seeing that guy painted up makes me want to make and paint some Redoran guards. I guess that is how good art/miniatures should be.

Ahem. TL;DR, awesome stuff, keep goiiinnngggg.

Also, not that I need to remind anyone but, sometimes I forget to do it myself. We should all be exalting this thread.

This is wicked! Love your stuff so far. Brings back great memories.

I agree with you that Morrowind had the best art and most distinct theme. I was addicted to that game when it came out. My girlfriend, her roommate and I had it going on a 24-hr rotation playing in 2-hr shifts so the game was never turned off at all on weekends.

Hasslefree's Succubus models could have been a good basis for your Flame Atronach also. Given that they are NSFW I won't link

I'm similarly heretical; I actually played Morrowind at release, but in spite of the mechanics; I can't bring myself to play through it again despite my love for the story. On the plus side, we have both Skywind(original Morrowind ported into the Skyrim game engine) and Beyond Skyrim(Skyrim-based Tamriel Rebuilt-style mod that features the other provinces, Morrowind included, as they would be in the Skyrim era) in active development right now, so hopefully we should get all the Dunmer-based goodness we can handle before the next official Elder Scrolls game.

Can't wait to see where this thread goes, Morrowind remains the pinnacle of the series in terms of story and art design, and if you realise that in model form as well as your Fallout thread this should be a real treat

Needs more khajit. Great models though.

@ Stormwall

The hitboxes are fine, its that instead of every contact counting as a "hit" the game works off of percentages. So even though it looks like you should wound the RNG says that because you're level 1 you only have a 60% chance of causing actual damage. ...Old game design logic.

...I ah have been avoiding using my time productively in other areas of my life like eating and sleeping? Hmn, and here's me thinking that I've been going slow with this thing actually.

Ack, I already have two other video game threads going, I'm just the guy who's so cheap that he makes models based off of nostalgia. ...And I CBA making any more Fallout models for the short term, so my solution for that block is to start another thread.

@ The Riddle of Steel

We're all lucky that Morrowind wasn't on Steam. I look at my play time in Skyrim and cringe. Then I cringe some more when it hits me that Steam doesn't record hours that you have the game running with the script extender all the time.

(its 562 btw)

@ Dreadclaw69

I actually just looked at the Mantic Games thread and considered using one of their upcoming Succubus as a Dark Seducer actually. Though I'm making a Golden Saint in the mean time. That and that male demon holding its cock also struck me as being able to work as a water fountain piece of terrain...

@ Yodhrin

"Active Developement" - looks at the Tamriel Rebuilt mod for Morrowind which has been getting worked on for over a decade and still isn't finished...

I did play some of those mods for Skyrim though (actually the ones for Morrowind and Oblivion too). I've been looking at the concept art for those along with the original Morrowind stuff as a basis for models, one being that Telvanni mage actually.

@ Chubias244

Find me a cat head and a M'aiq the Liar shouldn't be hard to do.

Righto. I would have been more productive last night, but I was wrangled out clubbing instead (personally I would have rather stuck with the models...). I threw this together after I got home though.



Its an ashlander. Right now I'm just going for random models to throw together to make a starting warband, but I'll probably expand out the factions eventually to have enough for ones comprised entirely of Redoran, bandits, etc.

Edit:

And a Golden Saint as well, as seeing as I'd have two Summoners on the board at a time there's a chance that I may summon in two Minor Demons and need another model.

Maiq needs the colovian fur hat. Needs.

Oh, all the outfits...

Oh great, more backlog for my subscription box.

Tell me, have you, by any chance, played any game of the souls series (Demon's Souls, Dark Souls and that other game that didn't happen)?

Just wondering.

I've seen them played, I think I own the first one (or rather the first Dark Souls), but never played themself. Maybe its because that game was horribly ported, or rather just that I CBA with that particular type of Japanese game (though somehow I find the Witcher fine).

You could probably make models of all those knights pretty easily with some of the Perry's War of the Roses stuff and a bit of greenstuff.

Another WIP. This time a piece of terrain. The penny base and shield and temporary. Lemme start a strawpoll for all the guesses about what it actually is.



No, it won't look anything like a WWII Soviet soldier when I'm done with it.

Nice conversions.

Whatisitwhatisitwhatisit?

Well if it were 28mm it'd be a ghost... But it ain't.



Yup, I went for an updated Dwemer statue from Morrowind. Still needs its ears and the base to be finished.



And his shield, which is still curing and so stuck to that sheet of plasticard. =P

Ooooo Pretty!

Wait. Are you serious about the hitboxes?

Feth everything I now know, I'm going to push through it and play Morrowind! Also, still loving this blog. I apologize if I was rude about the coffee thing, it was just a joke.

P.S. Morrowind is on steam.

Welcome to the days when Bethesda still used a D&D like system to determine how things worked in their games. Its all right in turn based ones, but all those percentages get weird in real time (try having silly stats, that when you'll be one shotting everything... Remember that this is also the game where buffs stack and there's no upper limit, so you can in fact have level 9999 sword fighting). Hmn, weird, for a game that started out as a D&D campaign you'd think that there would be a roleplaying game out for it.

Its not coffee. Its stomach destroying Ribena mixed with Cream Soda. =P

The statue's now properly assembled, silly ears and all.



Have fun going back and looking at the original Soviet model and knowing that that's under all that clay.

Wait, that was the Soviet model?

Brilliant!

Heh, what I have to do before and after pictures of the various WIP stages now too?

Fist day at work, so productivity's gone down quite a bit, and I can see it staying there for the immediate future. =/

I'm painting the statue and the Golden Saint right now. It helps that both of them are mostly one major colour. It doesn't help that they're (at least the Saint) made up of different tones...

So far, and I've only really just started with the Saint, I'm liking that she and the Fire Atronach are coming out quite a bit more colourful (or at least not quite so brown) as the rest of my warband. Means that they're set apart and its a bit more obvious that they are just regular models on the table. Hmn, the Golden Saint may have issues though seeing as how human she looks, despite the yellow skin. Damn, it'll be even worse if I make some High Elves...

Oh Snap! Another thread by Wyrmalla! This time set for the Elder Scrolls sagas

Can you stop being so good for like, forever? Kthanks.

I've gone corporate now, so down goes my productivity.

Here's the Golden Saint in al her yellow glory (aye the bit of brown paint on her shield's been fixed).

Looks great so far!

Why does she have a curved sword scabbard while wielding a straight sword?
