Testing weekend!

I got some despoiler marines in Mk II files from KMFP, so I tested a few, along with some strip bases with cracked earth texture and some presupported vehicles:



Everything printed well, so I decided to test paint it, and as I already have IWs I thought it would be cool to do some IFs

All in all, pretty happy with the result/effort equation

Planning to get those KMFP Mark IIs, your pics convinced me I shall.

Well, glad to be of help

Fantastic work Albertorius! That's a lovely yellow finish.

Thank you! I must admit that the pure yellow does look striking at the scale

Agreed, light and vibrant colours pop well in the small scale. I gave myself a challenge by choosing Iron Hands. (Which I of course not paint black, but rather dark grey metallic). Going for vibrant yellow Knight House and vibrant red Titan Legion to contrast.

That sounds cool, let us see when you do them!

I finished the "test detachment" of whatever the hell I printed xD, let's call it a defense in force detachment:

Looking rather spiffy there, Albertorius.

Absolutely fantastic looking miniatures AND paint jobs - amazing stuff!

Makes me think (foolishly) that I too can pull off Imperial Fists in 8mm!

Tiny AdMech reinforcements inbound!

Anti-air! Expensive, short-ranged and useless!




More Thanatars! Big robos for days!




Ordinatus Minorii! Rescue conversions from DZC stuff thrown in the club's bin!

The converted dropzone commander tanks work great. Love the basing on everything.


Solar Aux progress:

Lovely stuff, both of you.

I particularly love the weapons' glow on those thanatars, and that Solar Aux looks mighty.

Thanks guy, apparently the next white dwarf has pics of LI imperial fists, just heard that a few seconds ago.

Ohhh, interesting, I wonder how it will compare...

Yours will look better I am sure Albertorius, and I bet at 10% of cost

Ork big gunz from tonight's painting

Amazing! Love all of the crew and extra bits on the bases, really sets it off.

Lovely work on characterful models!

Those are lovely, great job!

today I got some city crushers minis by mail I intend to use for my orks. Already built a "gargant" and three "stompas". Really happy with how these are turning out. Gonna be fun to paint.

Digging the extra added details here! Lots of potential here

More gaming every once in a while!

My Ashen Gods kicked some God-Breaker butt yesterday, ~2600 points per side rushing to burn each other's backline objectives while wandering dust clouds blew up in the outskirts. The Iconoclast got checked by a Clawlord, lost all of its shields, was killed by another Warlord immediately afterwards and crippled one of my own Reavers on the way down, but the enemy had by this point already been aggressively outmaneuvered and cornered in their own deployment zone, soon to be torn apart by my demi-Ferroxes ripping into their flanks as they burned all of the objectives without losing any of our own.

Didn't post it here, but I finished my first Questoris Knight. Chose House Coldshroud for an old school, vibrant och high contrast scheme that would pop well next to my more monochrome Iron Hands.

Had a lot of fun painting this one!

Edit: oh the troubles of uploading images to Dakka... No idea why it rotated standing images. :/

Lovely job! No problem about the orientation, it probably has to do that if fighting on the outside of an asteroid or in Zero-G!

That is some lovely powder work on the base too, very effective.

Indeed, that's excellent!

Some Whirlwinds, that I realized I didn't have any painted for the IWs



And also a big blob of jetbikes, because why the hell not ^^

Those look better painted than most 28mm iw


Some shots of the solar aux and more natural terrain like forests.






Also made some objective markers using some flat bases and some bits blitz stuff. A mix of the computer consoles and med bays, also put the litttle esoteric book shop on one. Now it seems they're smaller than the official objective size which looks closer to 32-40mm ish but the thought with these is they do fit well on top of civitas roofs like infantry, so they might be ideal if objectives can indeed be places inside structures.

That is a lovely army and terrain

Thank you Gents!

@Albertorius: like your IW a lot. I'm doing IW as my next Legion with the new LI kits.

@C: nice work, like your objectives. I would not red the scenario rules too literaly, I would def go for whatever size looks best, and can be placed in terrain. We always place objectives in areas that make tactical sense, e.g. terrain features, regardless what the scenario says. Adapt it to make it more alive, make more sense and look better. Objectives spread along a line in the table centre isn't what we are going to play if I should make myself clear. Unless key buildings happen to be placed there maybe.

Yeah I think we'll definitely be going with alternating objective placement and or agree to place them at obvious focal points on the board.

Thanks! Looking forward to see your take on them, it's always neat to see other people's way to do your dudes ^^
