Legio Favilla walks - Ashen Gods unleashed

[Fajita Fan]

I want printed Thunderhawks now.

[Sherrypie]

Thanks Stobz, going overboard with these things is the name of the game :D

 

Fajita, there's very nice files on Thingiverse. These were in... about 15 pieces each, I think? Much better results than making them as one.

Specific Link? Thingiverse is a bit mad.

Eh, searching for a Thunderhawk finds it in seconds

I’ve tried a few files and they didn’t work well on our printer. Our budget is getting frozen but I need to get us a resin printer...

[Sherrypie]

Yeah, my bet's on resin printers for the future. Much crisper results and more room for technical advances, though it is far messier at the moment.

But this way I get to take advantage of you having sorted the wheat from the chaff on there. Thanks!

Huzah, got some gaming in for a change! A fellow at the club has gotten enough of his Nova Guard painted that we threw down a 1250 point game of Titanicus.

I put up two tables, but before we got to the game I had time in my hands and went a bit overboard playing with the rest of my models in case someone else came down to see what was going on. You know miniature gamers, it's easy to tempt them into new games by showing them some shinies  :nod:

Click the pics to see details!

The game itself, a simple meeting engagement to the death amidst the toxic sludge swamps. No visibility, bogged down wherever one goes, guns in the jungle. Just perfect.

Fairly straighforward affair for fun as the Defensor player was learning the game. I ran a full Venator maniple with Tempestus rules and had a pair of Thunderhawks carpet bombing the place with Strafing Run stratagem (the best excuse for making nwooooom noises) against his Axiom, which got stuck in the mud in front and pincered between my dogs until there was chain of exploding Hounds in turns 3-5 in the middle over the dying Reaver while my leader aboard Damnatio Memoriae kept on hammering everything with its melta cannon. In the end, only the Warlord of the Nova Guard stood, bleeding and bruised only a breath away from death, yet defiant. Having killed two Hounds and his Reaver against three of my Hounds, it was another notch for the Ashen Gods.

Refreshing to play on a marsh table for once :)

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Impressive.

[Sherrypie]

Cheers Bjorn, visual glee is strong with this game :)

Looks like a great game. Kudos to you both.

 

Makes me miss Epic...

[Sherrypie]

Thanks schoon, Epic never dies. It just lies waiting, dreaming...

[Sherrypie]

Another buzzer in the works, more chainfists for everyone as Flagellum Dei (Scourge of God) strides forth!

The skulls give the Reaver a lot of character. From the spikes on its left pauldron, I presume it's a Chaos Titan. Did the Titan Princeps best Daemons in the Realm of Chaos in order to claim those skulls, or are they mere reproductions?

[Interrogator Stobz]

Loving the GS bling :tu:

Thanks, but it is not. They are sculptures and decorations made of adamantium just as the armour underneath. My aim with this legio is to go for a baroque / gothic / grotesque aesthetic, for titans are the stuff of nightmares that mostly only descend on worlds to end them.

 

Humans don't need chaos to look cool, chaos needs humans :D

That's comforting.

Did the Legio manage to hire H. R. Giger and/or Nihei Tsutomu's reincarnations to design the Titans' aesthetic enhancements?

Well said.

[Sherrypie]

I must say I quite enjoy both Giger's and Tsutomu's works. There is something quite alluring in the brutalistic, technoerotical way they portray man and machine intermingling. Blame!, along with Akira and Ghost in the Shell were important bits of my childhood in showing different shades of cyber and well, Giger is Giger. There's barely any sense to talk about western future horror without his influence (though it often benefits from a touch of Beksinski's fever dreams thrown in for good measure).

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Ah, you're someone with GOOD TASTE and APPRECIATION for the CLASSICS! People like you are becoming increasingly rare in these times. (I'm still very angry at what Disney did to Lucasfilm and Marvel Comics. Denounce the original creators and their works as "problematic," but instead of giving us fans something original, just ripoffs the "problematic" works?!)

[Mendi Warrior]

Wonderful stuff, as we have come to expect from you!

 

I love the tables you play on, they are really nice.

[Sherrypie]

Cheers Mendi, it's a pleasurable pastime to play so why not make sure it's as nice as possible while at it :)

[Mendi Warrior]

Indeed!

[Sherrypie]

It's dangerous to start building, one might get carried away... by the Eraser of Deeds, Delictor Profectuum and his bigger boomsticks. It's time to get some proper missiles in 'ere :D

[Interrogator Stobz]

So good use of old parts :tu:
