Atia's Thread (Legions Imperialis: Sons of Horus Kratos pg. 107)

Atia! Your DG look exactly like I want to do mine.

Glad you like them! Re-visiting one of my favourite Legions was awesome, especially in all their nurgly greatness. And I really see how much I improved over my original 30k Death Guard. Oh, and I'm glad Forgeworld released their airbrush paints, because I never want to mix colours again, haha!

About the goop on your ZM boards to mimic the toxic waste: I wouldn't go cutting anything. Why not pour wood glue on top of a floor board and elt it dry thinly, then add another layer which you leave to dry, and repeat untill you have a 5mm thick ayer, which you can then peel off and put on the board wherever you want, and which holds paint after a thorough primer like anything?

It makes it customizable without damaging your ZM board.

Well, the thing is - I have a lot of ZM tiles here and the usual table size of these games (and Necromunda) isn't really thaaaat big. So it doesn't really matter when I convert a few of them to make them more interesting - it's not damaging, it's expanding!

Speaking of it - converting on the "bridge tile" is so far done!

And I'm gonna use magnets for my 3D ductways!

Well, I love Zone Mortalis so I ordered a 7x4 table some time ago. Glad I have found the motivation to finally start it ^.^

 

Fun fact - the packages were bigger than me haha (which isn't hard, because I'm small, buuuuut still!).

Looking good! I love that bridge. Cannot wait till the first instance "you go first" happens with the gangs.

[Kriegsmacht]

looks good

Haha yeah! Or the first time someone gets dragged up back by a harpoon cannon :P?

Not much progress in the last days, I'm actually waiting for more plastic card to arrive here

Fantastic body of work you have there. This is the first chance I've had to look at your post and I skimmed through all of it.... very impressive 

 

Your ZM board is coming along nicely, and I look forward to following your progress. Keep up the good work sister

KITTIE!

Thanks buddy!

Still trying to figure out what to use for the toxic slime to get a good effect:

Any ideas/guides are welcome :)

KITTIE!

Yaw, that's Sansa, my onyx Gyrinx

[Brother Lunkhead]

Clear epoxy or liquid resin mixed with your choice of paint or ink makes great toxic slime. Different paint or dye mediums will make for different effects (most quite good and interesting) so I recommend experimenting (experimenting is fun).

[abraxus]

I got a decent effect using the green gem paint, globing it on and then before its dried using some moot green air mixed with 'ardcoat on the top

[Kriegsmacht]

looking good

[Arkangilos]

It's coming along really well!

[Calyptra]

Honestly, the photography here is really lacking. Most of these pictures do not contain a cat.

Howdy Guys and Girls :)

Experimented with a paint scheme today - tell me what you think!

[hushrong]

Yep. Now just keep on doing that to the ZM board!

 

The paint job is great. The metal looks weathered and beaten properly. The  deck thought really looks like was taken straight out of an abandoned factory or warehouse. It simply looks perfect!

[Kriegsmacht]

looks cool

[Atia]

Thanks guys =)

 

The idea is to get the board similiar to the original FW display board (or atleast that's where the inspiration comes from), and blend it with the Necromunda tiles details, including transfers and so ^.^

Managed to snap some (hopefully) good quality pictures of my recent Death Guard heroes - hope you like!

Commanders of the Harbingers

The 1st Plague Company is ruled over by Typhus, and its forces are often called the Harbingers. Its ranks are infested with hundreds of different strains of the Zombie Plague, including Shamblerot, the Groaning and Biter's Pox.

Impressive work on Typhus and his minions. Is his model a new release for 8th Edition, or one you customized?

Nice looking group

[hushrong]

They look righteous! Love the yearbook picture of the command group. It would be a real treat to even put my minis on the same table as those for a game!

 

As for the board, I think you have it down...and then some! The way you had that segment painted up was grittier and definitely fights what I think of close quarter confines for 40k.

Awww glad you like them 

 

And yeah, I will defo go the way I went with the test piece. Will also add some more to my already finished 2x2 tile so it all fits together =)

[Arkangilos]

Great job!
