Sherrypie Posted July 11 Author Share Posted July 11 Thanks Cordova and TC, looking forwards to creating some... memorable... games with them. Meanwhile, painted a squadron of Valkyries for today's game. Selen II's armoured brigade can finally field infantry as well now that they have *some* proper transports for them :D Tallarn Commander, SirTainly, Firedrake Cordova and 5 others 2 6 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/357330-echoes-of-eisenstein-upscaling-madness-with-the-xiv/page/21/#findComment-6120916 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firedrake Cordova Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 (edited) Really nice work - lots of contrast and readability (I do really like the Valkyrie models ... shame they're not available any more) Edited July 11 by Firedrake Cordova Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/357330-echoes-of-eisenstein-upscaling-madness-with-the-xiv/page/21/#findComment-6120962 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, in smaller scale the flying lunch box is great. I lucked out when one member of our club just had a box of these lying around unused. This time in Epic gaming: a three-way variant of the Battle of the Sulphur River, 4k NetEA armies (to win you must control the bridges and roadside towns). We altered the initiative system slightly so that each player could make one activation on both opposing fronts and retain on one of them before passing the initiative to avoid the common three player death-spiral where you must do something against one player while repeatedly getting pummeled by the other without time to respond. It worked really well. The Orks and Imperial Fists went hard at each other, giving the PDF tankers ample time to roll over and smash their bridges clear with tonnes of merciless steel, ultimately taking the third bridge as well with a daring Valkyrie drop of stormtroopers who had gotten themselves together after spending most of the game panicking in a corner after repelling an orbital Ork drop hurtling towards them through the nearby office tower.

Sherrypie Posted July 16 Author Share Posted July 16 The galaxy is dark and full of terrors. We've had an upsurge of retro 40k at the club, so of course I had to try a quick OG Screamer-Killer to test out a paint scheme update for the Nids I've had sitting in a box for 20 years. The real impetus for this test was actually BFG, as I've been eyeing repainting the buggers ever since the start of the year and trying to figure out a good way to spice up my old "black with green ink, bone with brown ink" trainwreck without having to prime them all again. This might be workable.

Operative23 Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 I have one of those beauty sitting in a drawer since 1997, and your scenery and paint job are really inspiring, thank you !! :) Firedrake Cordova and Tallarn Commander 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/357330-echoes-of-eisenstein-upscaling-madness-with-the-xiv/page/21/#findComment-6122395 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrypie Posted July 19 Author Share Posted July 19 Thank you @Firedrake Cordova and @Operative23 :) The scheme tests continue. Updating my BFG 'Nids that I built as a teenager sometime before 2010. They used to be pretty sloppy work, lots of green and chestnut ink all over the place. Time for a bit of new polish, now.

Sherrypie Posted July 31 Author Share Posted July 31 Thanks @Tallarn Commander! While I did repaint the rest of the Nids last week, there's still some scrollwork to be done before they can be photographed. Meanwhile, as the BFG community theme of the month was marines... The Black Templars' Benith flotilla's flagship, battle barge Unforgiving Blade, as seen during the Selen II uprising. Had to rebuild the engines due to a missing part and a whole comedy of errors, but eventually after about seven hours of painting she is ready to sail. Icons were freehanded.

Sherrypie Posted August 4 Author Share Posted August 4 Thanks @Firedrake Cordova Epic game day at the club, four tables of Epic: Armageddon. Eldar, Death Guard, hellforged monstrosities, screaming mutants, Imperial Fists and a Guard's armoured battalion (my force) bashed it out through the day. Also took a WIP family photo of Selen II's tankers, even if many of them still languish without their proper highlights...

Sherrypie Posted August 8 Author Share Posted August 8 (edited) Fixing up recent purchases. One Hellebore was missing its bottom, so I crafted a new one from a 40k support platform. The Auroras were maybe the worst casts I've had the pleasure of working with. Molds have slipped, wings needed to be reshaped in hot water, sails had holes, rear flutes needed to be resculpted due to bad resin ports and so on.
