Millicant's Horus Heresy (Blood in the Void - 28Jun)

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.

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.

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!

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?

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,

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. ;)

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. :)

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.

That will be a mighty fine table then! Will you be using the entry point for the hangar in games for attackers to come into the ship?
