Title: WIP for the Tactica
Post by: Grimm on October 01, 2007, 05:47:05 PM: Hi Guys ,
next year in February we (the Hamburg Wargaming Club) make our 3 tactica show .
If you don´t know it look her
http://hamburger-tactica.hq-cooperation.de/index_e.html

Frank and me have a vendetta about building the best Tabel of the show .
Last Year Frank beat me with his fantastic medieval north germany piret table .
Look her at
Störtebeker - Gottes Freund und aller Welt Feind
http://hamburger-tactica.hq-cooperation.de/pages/fotos2007.html

But these time I try to beat him with a Lost World Table.
The Tabel will have all the good stuff like Jungle ,Temple Ruins, Dinos, Adventures .........and some special things I show you later ; )

But to win I have to stard now ,
My first Figures will (ok I have a lot LW stuff reday) be a party of Lizzardmen and two Salamander figures .
The Lizzardmen will be player characters the Salamanders will be one of the menny Beast there .
(http://www.displacedminiatures.com/images/img.1191256044283.JPG.600.-1..9.JPG)

I will paint them these week but I need some Isperation so let me see your Lizzardmen and how you would paint the salamander.

Also I need your help to bead Frank so let me know your Ideas of a LW table :wink:

ALSO I WILL MEED SOME OF YOU GUYS AT THE TACTICA !!!!!

cheers Grimm

Do you know any good accomodation nearby ?
Title: WIP for the Tactica
Post by: Grimm on October 01, 2007, 07:15:27 PM: Just send a mail to the Tactica team tactica2008@hq-cooperation.de
I am sure Jörg will know a few .
Title: WIP for the Tactica
Post by: Prof.Witchheimer on October 01, 2007, 07:21:20 PM: Grimm, to be honest, I don't like the idea with the GW Lizardmen, they look too-Warhammer-like and I'm sure a table with GW minis wouldnt look like an exceptional Lost World table but rather like usual WHFB one. Did you see the painted Reaper-Frogmen from tbroadwater. Why not these?
Title: WIP for the Tactica
Post by: Grimm on October 01, 2007, 08:26:53 PM: Prof I realy realy like the Skinks ( ok I hate the saurus figures) and I am sure they look good with round bases .
I do my best to pint them and you will see it will work.
And after all I pay 0,50€ for them so what is the prize of the Frogmen remember I am not a rich men !!

Post by: Poliorketes on October 01, 2007, 08:36:01 PM: I guess if you won't go for maya ruins it wouldn't be a GW table regardless of the skinks (Angkor would be an alternative if going for ruins). Perhaps you should convert their equipment, give them boomerangs, forked spears, Zwillen (however these are called in english;) ) or something else than the original blow pipe/throwing spears. Look for Komodons for inspiration.
Title: WIP for the Tactica
Post by: Lowtardog on October 01, 2007, 09:03:39 PM: Go for it Grimm, Use Aztecs for reference, some nice warpaint shields and weapons.

I would replace the blow pipes with obsidian spears and feathered shields :)

Some nice big creatures are the Bob Olley lizard aliens which come with interchangeable arms.

Or go for Kroot even they are some of my favourites
Title: WIP for the Tactica
Post by: Grimm on October 01, 2007, 09:08:06 PM: are you sure ,i realy like the skinks :?
Title: WIP for the Tactica
Post by: Hammers on October 01, 2007, 09:44:19 PM: I think the skinks work to, except the weapons which could easily be swapped.
Title: WIP for the Tactica
Post by: fastolfrus on October 01, 2007, 11:31:54 PM: I like skink figures, you can use them as other things apart from skinks, but you may need to do some simple conversions. We use a lot of them for Wargods of Aegyptus as allies/minions of the Sebeki crocodiles. Egyptian is fairly simple - a stripy headress made from miliput (or tissue paper soaked in glue) and Egyptian style shields all round soon changes the look of things.

I suppose you could go "African" and swap the blowpipes for Zulu style shields and knobkerries, have Greater Zimbabwe style ruins.

Mexican would be very colourful, Aztec feathered shields and possibly backbanners would look exotic, you could replace the weapons with obsidian bladed swords or even bolas ?

Angkor Wat ruins would look cool too, but I'm not sure how the figures would look. Maybe you could go further East and look at Vietnam perhaps ? Have two rival factions of lizards - one black skinned, the others more colourful ?
Title: WIP for the Tactica
Post by: Grimm on October 03, 2007, 01:33:45 PM: here I go with the first WIP of the figures .
I will make the lizardmen in South Armerica style so I will addit other schilds and feather´s .
Hope I make a unit of 5 today :wink:

(http://www.displacedminiatures.com/images/img.1191414171425.JPG.600.-1..9.JPG)

I also think small round bases and a ``not so candy`` like look will vanish the GW style .

here a GW one

so what you are thinking ?

Title: WIP for the Tactica
Post by: PeteMurray on October 03, 2007, 02:17:11 PM: One thing you could do to make them just a bit more South American is to pierce their noses. I'd run a stiff wire through the nose and paint it tan, to make them look like these guys:

(http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k116/PeteMurray/God%20Wants%20It/pointy.jpg)

South American native architecture was big on stone masonry without mortar. Irregular rocks would be smoothed just enough to fit together seamlessly, but without the rows we're used to seeing in Western architcture.

(http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k116/PeteMurray/God%20Wants%20It/Inka_masonry.jpg)

It's easy enough to simulate on the table. You simply inscribe the joint detail with a ballpoint pen onto foamcore or insulation foam.

I think small details like this will do a great deal to give it that Lost Civilization feel.

Post by: Grimm on October 03, 2007, 05:37:12 PM: Yes guys I think about War paint but the problem is that the warpaint easy look like normal Skink skin because of theirs scaly skin.
I don´t think that is cool but I also have some old Slann (frogmen) and I am sure they get warpaint :wink:

Despite his ugly hat he is/was so much better than that crocodile guy also from Oz. You know who I am talking about, the anoying one, "Beeuutiful!", the one that got et by a manta ray.

A cheap source of dinos (and a splendid croc, too), incidentally, is an old Tamiya boxed set of Mesozoic creatures, if you can lay your hands on it. Here's a mislabelled example (should be, as some pointed out, an Oviraptor):

Nowhere near as good as your paint jobs, though. :lipps:

Here's a pic (not mine) of the set:
http://www.linkandpinhobbies.com/graphics/Td_meso.jpg
It's in 1:35 scale, and has been seen priced at anything between 15 and 50US$!
SOmeone is selling more of the same range here - a bit pricey, and shipping from NZ would be expensive!

Post by: Grimm on January 27, 2008, 05:26:18 PM: ok I had the time to make the Backwall of the board here are the picktures of the mountains
Some of them are very Fantasy style but that is ok because I also will use them in Adventure Games and it is nice if you can place the figures on them .
Also you can laying them on ther back and use them as rocky subsurface.

next week I make my first picture of the complete table
