Phalanx Warder Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Looking forward to seeing the bases! I'm still waiting for my ZM board to arrive :( I had about 10 tiles that were messed up so contacted FW about the matter, they re-cast the tiles in question that they deemed needed replacing and had them double checked before they sent them out to me. Some failed QC and they said they are working with the casting department to fix the issue. I assume that they are working to fix the mould before I see any replacement tiles, maybe your tiles got caught up in that.

Millicant Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 Glad to hear it! I was going to ask how it turned out for you. Their customer service is pretty top notch.

Millicant Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 My first set of Zone Mortalis bases are complete! Here's a few pics of them being cast. Aaaaand the first set completed! I started with 2x 60mm bases and 6x 40mm bases. I will be adding the 30mm next. Also on the docket are 25mm bases, biker bases, and a flyer base. I've cleaned them up since. They turned out pretty great! I'm pleased, and will be continuing on in this endeavor. Lots of work, for sure, but once I have some painted models on painted matching bases on a painted Zone Mortalis board... I think I may wet myself.

Phalanx Warder Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Awesome bases Millicant! The project is coming along nicely, I am glad to report that my replacement boards have arrived and I can say that the worst one is better than the best one I received last time Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/294298-millicants-horus-heresy-blood-in-the-void-28jun/page/6/#findComment-3939430 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millicant Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 Awesome! I'm really glad to hear that. I'm eager to see how you decide to paint them.

Phalanx Warder Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Here are some WIP shots millicant, i will be starting a new thread where I will place the rest of the work so keep an eye out First up. fail. and repainted: i eventually decided on something similar to the FW tiles one with dark walls the other with lighter and i am stumped as to which I like more. Dark walls: Light walls: Let me know what you think!

Millicant Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 Hmmm I can't really tell the difference between them from those photos. The top one looks a little more blue maybe? Did you already derermine your floor recipe? Also your wall insets look familiar, is that the combo I shared?

Did you already derermine your floor recipe? Also your wall insets look familiar, is that the combo I shared? I was looking at the ZM Containment Tank and there are some pretty good close ups of how they painted them. The middle picture is my own recipe in attempt to copy FW, the insets (wall/floor) are worked up from Rhinox Hide to Ushanti Bone using an airbrush the walls are mainly Mechanicum standard gray (MSG) with a light gray highlight and a wash of Rhinox hide to pull it together. the bottom tile is similar but the walls are all light gray (like yours) washed with black and the insets remain the same, the edging of the floor tiles are MSG. Poor Pictures i know i will take more and add them to this post later Cheers, Phalanx Warder Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/294298-millicants-horus-heresy-blood-in-the-void-28jun/page/6/#findComment-3945628 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinsanity Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Reading this thread has me wondering if you could sell copies of those moulds you've made... Scratch that, I'm now hoping you'll eventually sell some Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/294298-millicants-horus-heresy-blood-in-the-void-28jun/page/6/#findComment-3945708 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW1 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Watch out with copyright. I considered doing this and researched it. A direct copy from the boards will get you in hot water if you sell them!!! Doing something in a similar style that you've scratch built yourself is much safer. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/294298-millicants-horus-heresy-blood-in-the-void-28jun/page/6/#findComment-3949885 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinsanity Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Ah, hadn't been paying attention as I skimmed trough the thread (seems I skipped a page), hadn't realized these were cast off the original ZM board... Oh well, here goes that idea :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/294298-millicants-horus-heresy-blood-in-the-void-28jun/page/6/#findComment-3949903 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millicant Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share Posted February 13, 2015 Yeah I stated earlier in the thread that I don't plan on selling them, as I would have no legal or moral legitimacy. Plus, to be perfectly honest, they are good enough for me but I am not a professional caster, and I doubt my bases would be high quality enough to warrant selling. I do, however, greatly appreciate the interest! It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/294298-millicants-horus-heresy-blood-in-the-void-28jun/page/6/#findComment-3950326 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW1 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Just waded through the thread and the tiles are looking amazing. Really pushing me to "up" my game on the scratch building side of things. How big will your table be eventually?

Kizzdougs Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Great work on the bases! I'm trying to achieve a similar effect, but your's are just brilliant :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/294298-millicants-horus-heresy-blood-in-the-void-28jun/page/6/#findComment-3950608 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millicant Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 Thanks kizzdougs! SW1, I have tiles for 4x4 now, and I expect to build up to 6x4 eventually. That will be 4x4-ish of dense corridors and 2x4-ish of hangar space with aircraft, fuel tanks, ordnance and the like as scatter terrain. The outer wall is a 4x2 footprint so it will all just fit on my 8x4 table.

Will you be using the entry point for the hangar in games for attackers to come into the ship?
