Would any Goons be interested in a bunch of Man O' War stuff? I've been slowly building a collection, but have realized I am just never going to get it painted/play with it. The collection includes the base game, Sea of Blood, Plague Fleet, a big Empire fleet, big Bretonnian fleet, small High Elf, and some Ork ships. Figured I'd toss it out here before I went the eBay route. It's probably worth a ton if I broke it down but...  , so I think I'd let it got for about $500 as lot shipped in the US. Overseas, maybe $550 shipped, I'd have to check prices on int'l shipping.

After getting a second look through, yeah, upped the amount a bit. The Empire fleet alone has 8 Greatships and 12 Wolfships, plus a couple each of the mortar and cannon ships.

Not at the moment but I've been thinking about how I might make one. Probably go for two 4x4 bits. I have lots of MDF sci fi buildings which are great. They're more the Infinity aesthetic but there's also some nice Necro style industrial looking stuff. No terrain for other game systems though.

I made these after a short discussion in the terrain thread, but if you don't frequent that thread I'm posting these here: I'm working on some designs. I'll post them later and see what you think. E: I went ahead and made all the ones I'd mentioned. I made two alternates for broken and hidden.  Wondering what any/everyone thinks?

Yeah - I like that more. Honestly, I think the white font would work for all the counters. Maybe add a hint of hazard striping to the background, since it is so prevalent in NM? I like the nod to the diamond plate you've got going on.

I like them, but I would make the hazard border a little more pronounced/thicker. What software are you using for your images? You've got a smooth look I can't seem to get using Photoshop.

I think it would be cool to get some with a thick diagonal band of hazard striping across the base. Perhaps also one that's offset. Basically I like them but it would be cool to get a mix of different designs in the bunch, it feels wrong for them all to have the same layout.

I would worry that the thick diagonal band of hazard striping across the base would obscure the text, and that any offset ones would just look like miscut ones. Though I do get your point. Though compared to the originals mine are high art.

That being said though, I'd still like to get my design made up, so if you could email me at portablezombie(at)gmail.com, I'd like to discuss a price.

berzerkmonkey posted:Thanks - the font (Radio Stars) is (apparently) the font GW used in the rulebook. I think it's a little Infinity-looking, rather than grubby NM, but it seems to read pretty clearly when scaled down. I found and tried the Radio Stars font too, but it looked too clean for Necromunda in my opinion. I did some testing last night and my design is totally readable when placed on the table top, even at several feet away. I'll try and take some pics of the final result.

I like what you are doing with these, they look really professional. I prefer the first ones you posted (despite the IMO tokens should have multiple ways of giving the info through shape, colour, design or text. If you have all the tokens the same shape and colour, with the same font in the same colour then it can be hard to tell which is which - especially when they are obscured by models or terrain or simply being read upside down. I realise that's the exact opposite of what the others said, but you did ask for feedback

Did a little modification today - I added the triple Escher swords to the skull image. Probably going to be too small to see on the printed counters, but I'll know they are there.   I was trying to find a good graffiti font to use (and I found a lot that looked good) but the original font looked the best at small scale, and still tied in with the Living Rulebook.

So today I managed to recruit a friend to play GorkaMorka, which is obviously awesome. I've also been working on some muties, inspired by (I think?) someone in this thread.     I'm going for a Fallout/Tusken Raider style of mutant rather than the stereotypical GW one. I really liked the use of Kroot bodies and weapons in the project that inspired this, but I'm hoping they'll look pretty different in the end. I could do with some advice on the weapons. I'm not really happy with that weird Tau-like sawed-off style weapon on the second guy. I need to build up the weapon differently. I've ordered some various CC glaive-style weapons, as well as some funky alternative energy weapons from Anvil Industries, so they should make an appearance in the next couple of models.

Indolent Bastard posted:How about these? A little more to your taste? Yes It's not just taste, but 'human factors' design. It's something that comes up in my job, so it's how I tend to see the world. Quote from: http://www.visualexpert.com/why.html if you are interested. quote:Human Factors is defined as "the application of scientific data to make the world compatible with human abilities, fitting the product to the sensory, information processing, and motor attributes of the user." It is an area of applied psychology that arose 60 years ago in the aviation industry. Until then, accidents were almost invariably attributed to mechanical fault, to weather or to human error. The problem ended up being fixed by changing the design of one lever, so the pilot could immediately feel the difference. Obviously the 'error' in playing a game isn't going to be serious, but the principle still holds, even if all it is preventing is irksome misunderstandings.
