poom Posted May 14, 2015 Author Share Posted May 14, 2015 I really love the bright orange bases, contrasting your dark miniatures! Are you doing the gaming board in the same way as the Mechanicum bases? No, it will be similar to my actual board, wich it will replace: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288089-but-blood-blood-is-forever/?p=3990043 So I can use most of the already existing terrain. This new board will get some Istvaan 5 themed terrain too, thinking about tank wrecks and dead space marines.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scribe Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Not only a killer World Eaters army, but all of this?! Floored. Just sat here shaking my head in awe for the last 15 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poom Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp282/PoomW/Angron_2_12.jpg Cometh the Red Angel And the sky burned, and the stars fell from the inferno, and with them came the angels. And they were armoured and arrayed for slaughter, and their rage howled across the ashes of the realm they had destroyed. And with them was one greater than all the rest, they his dead children and he was their maker. And those that remained amongst the ashes looked to the sky and knew that death was come upon them. On Saturday I played two Istvaan 3 themed games against a friends loyalist Sons of Horus and we had a blast! Here are some impressions: http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp282/PoomW/Spiel1%201.jpg http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp282/PoomW/Spiel1%203.jpg http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp282/PoomW/Spiel1%204.jpg http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp282/PoomW/Spiel1%206.jpg Game2: http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp282/PoomW/Spiel2%205.jpg http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp282/PoomW/Spiel2%204.jpg http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp282/PoomW/Spiel2%202.jpg http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp282/PoomW/Spiel2%201.jpg He insisted to play against Angron.. I never played a primarch outside Apocalypse, in 2000 points it was just brutal. Angron won me both of the games. ____________________ Also got my hands on the event marines, here is the first converted to a Forgelord: http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp282/PoomW/Forgelord%20Jareg%2001.jpg http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp282/PoomW/Forgelord%20Jareg%2002.jpg http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp282/PoomW/Forgelord%20Jareg%2003.jpg Jareg is a charcter from the book Khârn: Eater of Worlds from Anthony Reynolds. Represented by me of course during the early Heresy. He is the jailer of the Caedere, the Red Butchers. With a remote he can imobalise the Cataphractii Armours so he can chain them to the walls of the Conqueror inbetween battles. He also has a close look to the Rampagers, where he gets most of the new Butchers I think he would make a great HQ for a Red Butcher and Rampager themed army..

Olis Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Man, those games look astounding. Seeing two painted HH forces face off is a joy. Fabulous character and conversion. I like how you've replaced the back pack he's supposed to stand on with a dead marine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_son_of_Dorn Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Incredible stuff! you can't help but feel sorry for your friend though, you just know with Angron on the table that everyone wearing green (heck even some wearing white!) are gonna be turned into dog food!

poom Posted May 20, 2015 Author Share Posted May 20, 2015 Thank you so much! He is excellent. What are your plans for the other one? I am not 100% sure jet. This Delegatus guy has a lot of bling for World Eater.. so I thought to let him represent like a super popular gladiator from the fighting pits, similar to the facemask guy from the movie gladiator: So like a Legion Champion Consul or something.. and then armed with some gladiator style weapons. I like for example the classic combination of trident and fishingnet. Maybe this will be the chance to represent that throwing spear World Eater relic?

poom Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 Thanks guys! So I started to work on the new game board. Like mentioned before it will be Istvaan 5 themed, just like my World Eaters. But as I also play Bolt Action and other historical tabletops I want all the themed terrain to be modular. So the board is based on the Citadel table with two extra tiles from Forgeworld, the crashed thunderhawk and the big bunker representing the traitor defenses on Istvaan 5. I want to represent the aftermath of the battle, most traitor legions have already left the planet, only the Wolrd Eaters are still there in full strengh to hunt down Corax. So the Urgall Depression is full with wrecks, dead space marines and even somecrazy ossuary-cairns: http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp282/PoomW/Urgall_Depression_Aftermath.jpg As for the color sheme, I will have to make a compromise. The urgall depression, where most of the battle took place, is described in the books as black vulcanic ash. This will not work for me, as my world eaters and the modular terrain I already own have a brownish tone. So I will keep the brown sand but paint the bigger rocks in a vulcanic black/grey.. So I guess it will be a combination from both FW Istvaan 5 tables: the sand color from the first and the rocks from the new one. So I started by casting two rocks from the Thunderhawk tile to cover up the skullpits from the citadel board and also to have as a modular terrain piece: http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp282/PoomW/Hugel%2001.jpg http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp282/PoomW/Hugel%2002.jpg http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp282/PoomW/Hugel%2003.jpg http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp282/PoomW/Hugel%2006.jpg http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp282/PoomW/Hugel%2007.jpg I then put sand on all the tiles and undercoated it: http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp282/PoomW/Platten%2002.jpg The tiles are now ready to get some paint.

poom Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 I also build more fortifications and some rocks and fuel dumps: http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp282/PoomW/Fotifications01.jpg For the wrecks I start simple and small with tree rhinos: Nr. 1 http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp282/PoomW/Rhino01%2002.jpg http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp282/PoomW/Rhino01%2001.jpg Nr.2 http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp282/PoomW/Rhino03%2004.jpg http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp282/PoomW/Rhino03%2005.jpg Nr.3 http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp282/PoomW/Rhino02%2001.jpg http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp282/PoomW/Rhino02%2003.jpg Like with the rocks I made a simple one-part mold to reproduce them. This is alle three casted up: http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp282/PoomW/Rhino03%2006.jpg For now I want to build two from each. Three will be painted in world eater colors to be wreck markers in games and the other tree will get some dead space marines and stuff to be themed terrain.

poom Posted July 11, 2015 Author Share Posted July 11, 2015 Sorry guys all those castings are only for my private use.. __________________ I started to paint some of the terrain: http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp282/PoomW/Platten%2004.jpg The first Rhinos will all be World Eaters to use as tarrain but also as wreck marker in games. The next batch will have some dead marines from different Istvaan 5 Legions and will be purly terrain. Also I have been building some more World Eaters: Do you remember my Rampagers? So I finnaly build the last two guys for this squad, one more with a Excoriator Chainaxe and a sergeant with fist: http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp282/PoomW/Apo03_01.jpg Also a medic with magnetised special weapon. So this guy just removed the Pragenoid Glands from neck and chest of a dead World Eater, those are the organs containing the Legion gene seed. http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp282/PoomW/Apo03_02.jpghttp://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp282/PoomW/Apo03_03.jpg Next up a new Contemptor with a Chainfist: http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp282/PoomW/Contemtor%203%2002.jpghttp://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp282/PoomW/Contemtor%203%2003.jpghttp://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp282/PoomW/Contemtor%203%2004.jpghttp://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp282/PoomW/Contemtor%203%2005.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
