@sundancer day has gone smashingly well thank you for asking 🙂 I need to touch up my 95th rifles following a dip and matt varnish and then I will have 2 forces tabletop ready for Sharp Practice. Naturally I am already planning additions 🙂 Looking forward to seeing how the electronics integrate. That has always been something that is on my ‘to do’ list to learn. I think having integrated infinity mirrors, smoke machines and lighting effects in a table would be incredibly atmospheric.
@querion Waagh bomb? I like the idea 🙂 instant narrative effect for why whoever is up against the greenskins wants to stop them in a hurry.
@a27cromwell dot camo looks really good. Appreciate the patience and dedication you have to the piece to achieve something like that. Re the Space Marine the volume on the unicorn seems much more appropriate than the horse, but if you are putting a space marine on a unicorn then I would be tempted to give him a rainbow launcher as a weapon or something similarly nonsensical. Not sure I would replace the horn with a laser but a partial cybernetic conversion might help to tie the themes together without anyone suggesting Hello Kitty marines or similar?
@woldenspoons @mage pretty much every gaming company does some sort of orc variant. Reaper bones are dirt cheap if you can get your hands on them and the pathfinder and D&D pre-primed minis form wizkids seem to have reasonable availability. Or convert some random second hand ebay orcs to look like poxwalkers maybe? Could be an interesting project opportunity?
@limburger main difference between an evil campaign and a normal game of ‘murderhobos’ in my experience is that in an evil themed D&D campaign players feel entitled to steal from one another as well as the general populace. Plus it does present a nice opportunity to play classes and races not normally available to players. From a more serious gaming perspective there is a nice dynamic of having to hide from good or lawful forces who may legitimately rule and patrol an area while simultaneously trying to manage factional requirements to appease whichever evil overlords are presently scheming for power while simultaneously trying to further the characters own agenda. It can actually be pretty fun with the right sort of group 🙂
Will try and get my 95th rifles tidies up tomorrow and take some pics of both completed armies. Then need to decide what to do next. Probably Space Marine kill teams so that my Orks will have something to shoot at. Although the appeal of quickly smashing out some cavalry and artillery for Sharp Practice is pretty strong…
