Are there any difference modelwise in the various loadouts of the cruisers and escorts?

I know it's been a long time, but I've got an update! I've received the sculpts back from Bob Naismith, and they look pretty cool. I tried to take some photos, but wasn't able to get any good images before I brought them to the caster. Which brings me to my next bit of news - they're at the caster! The first step is to get some masters/samples cast up. This should take about a week - once I get them and they are approved I'll get some photos up and we move on to pricing and production molds!

So I'm kind of getting into Warmaster via the Battle of Five Armies Game. Just really enjoying working with the 10mm scale. Of course being a specialist game and out of print everything is ridiculous prices. Anyone have any tips on making 10mm scale fantasy buildings, particularly castles or things? I know Forge World made at least 1 10mm LotR piece of a mill but I don't know if they didn't anything else. Would be nice to build up some nice terrain on this scale for all these little trays of models I am painting up.

There isn't a ton out there, but you can try this guy on Ebay. I've dealt with him in the past for Epic related stuff, and he's a good guy. Kallistra has some 10mm as well, though I've never bought from them.

Would be nice to build up some nice terrain on this scale for all these little trays of models I am painting up. I make 6mm terrain which is pretty close: http://muraminiatures.com/ I mostly use plasticard, plasticard strips, cedar wood and green stuff. If you don't plan to make molds from your houses you can get away with other stuff such as balsa strips as well. You should look into N scale train modeling and see what you can find. Even if there are no suitable finished buildings, you could use textured plasticard and such to make easy stone walls, bridges, etc. E: Here's an example of what can be done with N scale buildings from Vollmer: http://www.warlordgames.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=16876 lilljonas fucked around with this message at 20:10 on Feb 26, 2015 |

I think I just assumed the results either wouldn't be that great or would take far more time than I really wanted to put into it. I am use to working with foam and cast bricks so was considering that at least partially, mainly by taking the Hirst Arts Small Brick mold, building and casting some general wall pieces and building some things that way. Will have to see. I know I want to make some fortifications and ruins but town and farm structures will get tackled at some point as well.

Sounds like you could do a lot of that with some textured plastic sheets: to me, those small bricks still look a bit big for building stuff in 10mm. Just give a shout-out if you want some advice and post pics if you get working on it, I haven't done so much with those materials and it sounds fun.

Necromunda goons! I'm selling some unopened blisters of Scaly and SCavvy gangers in this thread right there after finding a LGS that's closing up shop. This place was a goddamn museum more than it was a retail store. Look at this poo poo:  He also had, among other relics, original edition Vampire: The Masquerade books Ral Partha minis, and even Rifts minis. Unreal.

You can't blame TSR for trying. Magic came out a couple years earlier and turned the market on it's head for TSR. Spellfire wasn't doing that great, and they needed to try something to get back on top.

I played an awful lot of Spellfire (instead of buying Beta and Unlimited Magic boosters, boy do I feel dumb), and I don't quite understand how they managed to screw it up so badly. The rules made absolutely no sense, 90% of the cards were useless, and every game was virtually guaranteed to end in a rules argument. It's almost as if TSR in the 90s didn't employ anyone who was capable of producing a coherent set of rules, and just relied on background and flavour to paper over the cracks. Oh, right. Carry on.

Playing the new(ish) X-Com game is like necromunda, in that it's a small scale turn based skirmish game- if you both take humans it plays roughly the same as well !

The unknown bit is how well they will pull it off.  One of their main people was on the Syndicate Wars Dev team which I consider a plus, although others may disagree.

berzerkmonkey posted:Dude, why? Just put a thin layer of spackle down and push your stands into that... I'm a little OCD about it, every time I've tried something like that, it's been blatantly obvious that there's a thick base still attached to the model. I'm not removing the bases entirely, just enough that a bit of PVA and sand will disguise the edge, like these guys, it's hard to really see but I got their bases thin enough that I could sand over and hide it well enough:   I'll be doing the necrons on FoW bases too, with the wood chip rocks (as above) to help cut down on the number of infantry per detachment - I'm also planning on laying the bases out and having the wood chip 'boulders' span from one base to another, so I can set them all up in formation for display. They'll never ever be on display, but one day maybe I'll bother go buy a glass cabinet they can sit in

berzerkmonkey posted:The boulders look good. What are you using the robed dudes for? Are they part of the Necron army or cultists for LATD? To be honest I just bought them for shits and giggles, they're cute little sniper types  They're dark realm miniatures scout infantry:http://www.darkrealmminiatures.co.uk/store/product.php?productid=127&cat=2&page=1 I think originally I was going to use them as space marine scout snipers but decided against it for some reason and just painted them up for fun, they kinda ended up being a test for using FoW bases at that scale.

Finally got some decent photos of the 10mm not-Khemri skeletons I commissioned:    I think pointing-guy is pretty badass  Dude on the end looks like a pirate. Woah - a full 10mm pirate skeleton army...   And a size comparison with some really poorly lit Chaos Warriors:  Hopefully, when I return from Adepticon, the caster will be done and I can get some painted up and on the table! (And, if anyone is interested, I will have some available for sale.) berzerkmonkey fucked around with this message at 13:27 on Mar 17, 2015 |

Sorry to deny the crown - but they are going to be offered for sale. I'd never have commissioned them if I didn't think I could recoup my costs. I'm not necessarily looking for a profit (though that would be nice) but I am looking to break even. The impetus was that the Warmaster skeletons that GW produced don't really fit in with the rest of the Tomb Kings line. I was too lazy to convert mine to tall shields, so I did this instead.

How much did the commission cost if you don't mind me asking? Getting set to start sculpting some 10mm spiders and hopefully move on to dwarves and other things after that, but depending how it goes there may be some point where its better just say screw it and pay someone to do it and try to earn your money back via sales like you are doing.

The sculpting, by far, was the most expensive part of the project. I've got three command models, one hero, and six rank and file troops - it cost a total of about $880 USD to have them done. About $200 USD was covered by someone else, as he wanted to add an additional three models (up from my original seven sculpts) to the collection. Personally, I would have been fine without the extras, but it was his money, and I told him he might not recover it. Honestly, I might have been able to get this done cheaper had I gone somewhere else, but Bob had already done some 10mm for a friend and he was a known quantity. The only other guy I know doing stuff this small concentrates mostly on 6mm and he is pretty busy, so I don't know if he would have had the time. In my opinion, if you were to do 10mm spiders, I'd limit the range of poses - one or two at most. I mean, how many poses do you really need for a spider? That will keep both sculpting and casting costs down significantly. Now, if you were doing goblin spider riders, that would be a different story... And regarding Dwarfs, take a look at the market - is there an alternative already out there? And is the community clamoring for 10mm Dwarfs? If you plan on at least recouping your costs, I'd do some serious market research. It won't take a huge amount of sales to get back your investment (I should get mine back if I sell 100 units) but ideally, you want to make something extra to finance the next project. berzerkmonkey fucked around with this message at 18:20 on Mar 17, 2015 |

These would mostly be for my own use, though not opposed to selling them, and to get myself back into sculpting. We'll see, tons of dwarves out there already, just a couple unit types I want that are missing from what I can tell. The spiders are definitely happening, beyond that, we'll see. What I really need to do is survey the field and see what is really missing that I want for games. The dwarves I am thinking if is more because I think they would be cool.
