Three guesses.



...Uh, not to what the original model was. Its a Reaper Giant Scorpion. What its going to be.

That's right! its Vivec!

*AHEM* WAAAT?

I probably should try some sleep... The .gifs are out. That's a bad thing.

Oh. A dreugh? That makes a lot more sense! Sleep is for the weak.

Eh, wouldn't be the strangest thing Vivec has done

Weekend terrain bash out. Some bits to fill out the gaps between buildings. This is the first lot of market stalls I've slapped together, though I have a few more unpainted and could make some collapsed ones.





Just balsa as ever. Not sure if I'd make ones with cloth as they wouldn't hold up as well as wooden ones. Which is to say a ruined stall which had a cloth cover would just be a couple of sticks standing in the ground in a ruined marketplace (which don't hold up too well being shoved in a terrain box). Oh, there's some street signs in there too, not that anyone cares.

Are these for Balmora or the other buildings you were working on? Great work as always

Some of them are taken from the Elder Scrolls Online actually. So aye they're to go with the Hlaalu terrain as line of sight blockers for the streets and open spaces.

Awwwww yiss!

Love the middle stall in the second picture! :O

Nice!

Nae painting, just using up what's left of the balsa pile making book shelves for some reason.

Those are really nice! Now make tiny codices!

I need to find some 28mm books actually. They're so expensive and I don't want to just make some out of paper. Hirst Arts do a mold for some along with other little bits, which would be useful, but I'm not sure I want to dump £30 just on that. :(

You could take a small stick an paper, roll it up, and give it a wash of light yellow or agrax. BOOM! Scrolls!

What kind of saw do you use for the tiny pieces of balsa?

Hmmm, I do need to make some small terrain scenery like that,

A cheap piece of crap I bought out of Poundland. Pretty much this. ...But pink.

Fab-u-lous!

Pics & shiz.

I managed the Telvanni mushroom house over the weekend there. In order to merge it with the Hlaalu ruins I'd perhaps stick it in the middle of some ruined walls (along with loose giant mushrooms / roots) as though its been grown over the foundations.




More on that can be found earlier in the thread. Suffice to says its a polystyrene ball covered in milliput.

Besides that, here's a WIP of the next of the Hlaalu ruins (still sans milliput). A guard tower. I'll make another which is the mirror of this and ruined at some point. Design liberties were taken with this as the in-game one is just a solid block with a door at the bottom and a trap door at the roof, the exposed upper section is enclosed, which doesn't seem so interesting for playing with. I cut those bits open and added a signal fire, whilst still hopefully retaining the original look.

Really awesome, really liking your fallout stuff as well.

I'll get back to the Fallout stuff once the new game's out ...and I can be arsed to learn the This is not a Test rules.

That tower is a perfect rebuilding. Good job Wyrmmy!

Its like one in the morning, so that means nobody'll ever read this till many many years after my death (after Yakface has stuck his head into a jar and turned Dakka into a dancing puppy .gif website). Whatever, deal with it, I can't be arsed typing this up at work tomorrow. =P

I've been super lazy lately, but got through with building and painting this this weekend. The guard tower would have been painted as well, but I ran out of brown paint. ...I really should buy more than one pot of that particular colour at a time considering that all this Hlaalu stuff uses that as a primer as do all my bases. Whatever, here, have a stairway to nowhere.



Its a Silt Strider port, but seeing as the guys I play with seemingly haven't played any Bethesda games, it'll just be a random set of stairs to them. I just kind of thought that I needed something tall for archers to be dicks to everyone off of.

The original design is from a piece of concept art from DeviantArt. That one's in the Indoril style, but who cares? I left off the canopies from this picture as they'd just be asking to be broken.



And image spam. I'll probably go back to this thing and add some Elder Scrolls themed posters which I've picked up off of DeviantArt as well ...once I buy some more printer ink that is. Gotta love that poster/ graffiti spam .






Aye, so this week it'll be that guard tower that's painted then planning to make another ruin. We'll see if I can get all this stuff finished and played with by the end of the year, but well, Fallout 4. ...Not just taking up my life through playing it. No, that's the same problem everyone'll be dealing with. No, (most of) you lot won't be bloody making models from that game too.

So... Silt Strider?
Welcome back wyrm! We missed you

Awesome!

A dead one perhaps...



I do totally have a Silt Strider shaped foam ball sitting there. =P

Screw making a live one. Those legs would be bastard.

Awww. Silt striders are like floaty whales! No dead ones. HMPH!

No, just means we won't read it until morning.

*raises hand*
*Looks sad* I've still got a long long list from Fallout 3/NV...

Stairway to heaven looks great. Good job.

How on earth do you paint those buildings? They look great! Very realistic. Do you use stippling, washes, sponges, dry brushing?


Also, for your Frostgrave games, do you use any house rules to modify the game to better suit the Elder Scrolls universe? As I understand it, in Frostgrave it's all about the Wizards. They're the ones who grow in power, gaining new abilities and equipment whereas the non-Wizard henchmen are just there as back ground characters to support the Wizards, and don't have the same degree of progression and customization. That doesn't seem very suitable for Elder Scrolls, where Wizards, Fighters and Rogues are all on a equal footing (Player Character wise).
