Grifftofer Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Ok. So here is a small Christmas update for you all. not too many changes, but the file should be all up to date with the rule/points changes that have been discussed so far. Enjoy :) https://www.dropbox.com/s/66r4eub5wh12xrr/BotL%20Book%201-%20Insurrection%28Opt%29.pdf?dl=0 Raktra, Big Bad Squig, ~Drakzilla~ and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foamy248 Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 I don't know much about the mechanicum and imperial army in terms of rules, but I'd love to do black shields. Is that okay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluntblade Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Absolutely. By the way, what sort of artwork do you normally do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foamy248 Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 I generally do pencil/charcoal artwork. I can colour it digitally, but I'm not so flash at digital stuff tbh. If you are following the FW black book structure, I could do character portraits, if you want. Kelborn and Doctor Perils 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluntblade Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 We are indeed. Well, if Drak can let us know of any characters he hasn't sketched so far, perhaps you could have a crack at one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talonair Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 I'd love to get art of Mortera done :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikhalLeNoir Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Oh yeah. Mortera would be a cool sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Drakzilla~ Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 So far, the only character portrait I've finished is K'awil, but I've started studies for Daer'dd and Icarion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talonair Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 (edited) Also, a quite important point r/e Book 1 (just been flicking through). Is everyone aware that all modifiers to Strength etc from Wargear AND Special Rules go in order of multipliers, THEN additions? For example, the Ironbound slayer clan's Warclaws would be S9 rather than S10. Also to note, Forgeworld says in the wargear and special rules sections for units whether or not modifications to a statline have been included in their profile, something I notice was lacking in Book 1 and I think it's something we should endevour to keep in our Insurrection works for the sake of clarity and consistency. For example, going back to the Ironbound again, one could easily argue that their actual statline would be S6 T6 W3 I3 A3, which would put them on the level with Vorax automata (more so thanks to better saves) and would make the unit SEVERELY undercosted Edited December 26, 2016 by Talonair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluntblade Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Perhaps Foamy, you could do one of Koschei? There are models and concept art for him in the Godslayers thread. Also Azus has some in Dune Serpents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Drakzilla~ Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 (edited) Speaking of Godslayers... http://i.imgur.com/tvAOOs1.jpg Edit: Also, I guess now would be a good time to post the unfinished concept sketch I had of Koschei that I forgot about.

foamy248 Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 K. I can do Mortera first. Can someone post the Drak's artwork of K'awil (just so I can make my sketches relatively uniform)? Also, in terms of the Black Shields, would anyone like to 'donate' characters from their legion to a BS war band? I'd prefer for the war band to be loyalist, I think.

I'll PM you a description of Mortera quickly. Also, if you like I could write up a Mechanicum dude for the warband as well? A dude who's basically the only Magos from their world not to turn traitor?

~Drakzilla~ Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 @Foamy: K'awil Pakal, coming right up One thing to note that the Forgeworld character portraits have a LOT of variation, so don't fret too much about keeping the style uniform, as long as it's the general pencil-sketch look. In fact, this one would be a bit of a deviation, as it shows the character's torso. Most of them are just shoulders up, or head shots. So my advice would be to just have a browse on google images of the FW portraits and get a feel for the "look". foamy248 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief Captain Redd Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 @Talonair that can be rectified as the stats are meant to include wargear bonuses. Definitely not meant to be S6 T6. But we are still in the editing process. Talonair 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelborn Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Well, he worked on one specifically, a psyker Titan Legio. I believe that they were listed as well somewhere in one of our threads. At least you'll get a glimpse of it if you're follwing the link in his signature (the unicorn one). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
