Honda Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Here's a real quick project, primarily for the purpose of enhancing the visuals for an Apocalypse game. I wanted to have something a little different for my Deathknell marker and after getting inspired by a dried up magic marker, I ended up with this. http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d187/hkowabunga/Apocalypse/DeathRainRun45086.jpg Here's how it turned out with some paint http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d187/hkowabunga/Apocalypse/DeathRainRun45145.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d187/hkowabunga/Apocalypse/DeathRainRun45135.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d187/hkowabunga/Apocalypse/DeathRainRun45144.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d187/hkowabunga/Apocalypse/DeathRainRun45139.jpg It still looks like a magic marker to me and I suppose some smart aleck will comment: "Behold, the Emperor's wrath manifests itself in the form of the greatly feared Death marker..." but I still like it more than one of those steam punk teleport homers that you get with the termies. Anyway, it was quick and it was easy and that ain't all bad. Cheers, Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/144833-death-comes-loudly/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snozz Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 It looks great, if you want to make it less marker-like add some fins of plasticard. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/144833-death-comes-loudly/#findComment-1678415 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherAtrox Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 ...wow. I never imagined a dry-erase marker serving as a warhead but...it works! Very cool.

Evapilotone Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 It is very effective. Great work! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/144833-death-comes-loudly/#findComment-1678444 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honda Posted September 1, 2008 Author Share Posted September 1, 2008 It looks great, if you want to make it less marker-like add some fins of plasticard. I actually thought about that, but was trying to avoid the equally mocked "Death Lawn Dart". Adding fins is a good idea, I just never came up with a fin shape I was happy with. Anyway, thanx for the C&C all! Cheers, Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/144833-death-comes-loudly/#findComment-1678510 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar Molotov Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I think it's quite an effective job! Certainly looks like something that'd be ejected from a Battle Barge and flung at a planet's surface. :devil: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/144833-death-comes-loudly/#findComment-1678517 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Defiler Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Some people use unburied dog skull as a terrain piece (the dog they had as a child... yep, that's true, and that's gross.. not me... someone else... I love dogs, I swear) Some people use dry markers as Apoc' markers.. What really matters is the 'cool effect'... Dog skulls = SO uncool.. :nuke: Dry markers = cooooool... Nice find, Honda... cheap and effective... I like it :) the def :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/144833-death-comes-loudly/#findComment-1678647 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son_of_Honda Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 i like it to. allthough if it was a warhead wouldnt it have denonated? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/144833-death-comes-loudly/#findComment-1678685 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiStudios Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 simple and effective. Nicely done :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/144833-death-comes-loudly/#findComment-1678701 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celestin Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Simple, yet highly effective, I like! i like it to. allthough if it was a warhead wouldnt it have denonated? It surely would have, if the machine spirit dwelling within the circuitry of the warhead had been properly attended to. Instead, the payload inside remains undetonated, waiting to be captured and put to use by ground troops, no doubt.

Vassakov Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 i like it to. allthough if it was a warhead wouldnt it have denonated? This is a Deathknell Beacon from Apocalypse: Reload. Basically, this comes down as per DS rules and acts as a Teleport Homer for an Orbital Bombardment. Then at least 25 Terminators (if your being conservative... Honda, being Honda, will probably opt for at least twice that :blush: ) and as many Dreadnoughts as you can find DS near it. You win next turn. @ Honda - Fantastic Conversion. I may have to nick it, I'm afraid. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/144833-death-comes-loudly/#findComment-1678746 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marek Grimfang Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Tongue and cheeck but made in the spirit of the game. Good job. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/144833-death-comes-loudly/#findComment-1678760 Share on other sites More sharing options...
