Thanks guys, much appreciated.


Silversixx> So you know Egge, great. We are members of the same gaming club.
With the release of the lates edition of 40k, most of the regular player have start looking elsewhere.
Some have started on warhammer fantasy but Egge and another friend went to Dropzone Commander.


He was hardly forced pick the Scourge as it was he and Stefan that was the first players to order an army. I went with Shaltari because no one had got any of those yet and I wanted to test this paintscheme that I had in mind since before.

I got the middle size army with a neat box from KR http://www.hawkwargames.com/products/premium-shaltari-large-army and an some extra blisters and a rulebook.

Next time you talk you can allways say hi from Eng.

Well, you know Egge and his constant victimisation of himself lol
Anyhow, I hope you pick up the pace and that you're progress can inspire us other folks to get started with yet another game :)
Look forward to what this thread will bring. I'm not fully into buying stuff for 160 euros yet ;)

New unit, Tomahawk Grav tanks for my "pearl tribe".



I should find a fitting name given to the by the humans.
The humans name the diffrent tribes or give them a code name after human tribes from their past. Im thinking on giving them a name of some tribe famous for diving after pearls, or fishing in coral reefs but Im not sure on what yet.

very nice indeed. The irridiscent (sp?) look is fantastic; I've been thinking about using that on several minis in the past, but I've always chickened out so far.
It does look rather good doesn't it? Is it irridescent paint or just a considerable amount of talent?

Haha thanks. As its all just regular paint the answer has to be the later...  ;)

A tutorial is planed later on.

But painting technice is rather easy.
After a white primer I paint some of the models with blue deluted with lots of water, when that is dry I painted some other places on the model with pink and lots of wather.
After that, purple with water. By mixing lots of water into the color the model allmost paint itself and all those litle details work in my favor instead of painting the details by them self.
The purple was used to try to tie the blue and pink together.
After this I neaded some contrast.
The cannopies was painted black to make a striking contrast to the light model.
The "paddles" was given a warm feeling with yellow followed upp with orange and red with lots of water. I painted those rather irregular to make a sort of vibrant, moving feeling to it. By choosing a warm color here it makes a striking contrast with the rather cold feel of the "pearl hull".

But a better tutorial is planed. I would love to see someone doing the opposite, having a yellow-orange-red hull istead. Or maybe yellow-green-blue. :D

That really sounds simple for such a striking effect.

Seeing my friends game some Dropzone Commander made me dust off my miniatures and started to work on them.
So... at this moment, this is what I got.

Thanks.  :)


I just painted or pimped ;) a little terrain piece. Its a small car from some railway kit. Im not sure about the exact scale but it fits into a Dropzone gaming table.

Nice AAR. Some of the guys at one of my clubs are starting to play this. Where are the buildings from and what scale are they?

I've seen these before. Those are Kato N-scale buildings.
