Any pointers on making a coastline for a gaming table so I can give these little chaps a home? :D

Cool minis and great work Thantsants! :-*
Really love the colour choice and some brilliant touch like the glossy black octopus. Top job! 8)
If I had to give you a criticism I'd say that the only thing that you could have done better is the light in the pics. A bit yellowish :? But, for my experience, I perfectly know that taking pisc it's not easy.

Post by: Thantsants on 16 April 2012, 07:31:35 PM: Thanks Dr F. - they are lovely little minis.

This is what I was aiming for colour-wise

That would be a great game Engel - I pity the poor little fishes pitting themselves against those lovely orbs of destruction!

Thanks Faber - think you're right there about the yellowiness. Its self inflicted - I've been playing around with some of the effects on Picasa and quite like the 1960's effect. Bit too much here though in hindsight, might see about cleaning them up a bit. ::)

Wow Dowvoovoo - not sure I've ever had that many smilies before - glad you like them!

Cheers Deafnala - I reckon if I don't get round to making them a beach they might well become little whatevers, swamp creatures or general pond life. :D

you got me Andy - didn't get the time I felt Piranha boy and the other demon deserved - They'll have to wait till the next three are released now ;)

Post by: DeafNala on 16 April 2012, 09:28:22 PM: It took a bit of a search, but worth it. One of the Guy over on T.B.M.F. has a nice easy approach to the beach thingy:

You can find all sorts of cool ideas on JoaoS's thread here:

Post by: Thantsants on 16 April 2012, 09:53:36 PM: Nice one - thanks for taking the time Deafnala! :)

The jungly bits have made me think of a Lustrian coastline and another possible scenario for the Magnificent Sven and his surviving band of adventurers. I can see them fighting a desperate rearguard against psycho, koka-chewing punk amazons/Slann slaving party/giant crabs/spiders/whatever other jungle nasties have chased them, whilst a raft is hastily lashed together - only to have these little fishy fellas stop by for a look-see... >:D

Mind you, isn't that the sea-scape mat from Dreadfleet - this could get expensive... ;)
Title: Re: Four A Sea Demons
Post by: DeafNala on 16 April 2012, 11:19:08 PM: The sea thingy as you said is from the Dread Fleet Game...I was thinking that a dyed/stained vinyl shower curtain might work as well.

There are series of Battle Reports on Tom's concerning a marooned Dwarven Crew battling their way through Lustria plus some Pirate Campaigns on the jungle coasts...all have some very nice terrain ideas. I'll see if I can get you some links.

TAH-DAH...that was easy enough; here's a link to the Dwarf adventure:

Post by: manic _miner on 16 April 2012, 11:39:18 PM: A blue cloth then loads of little islands made would look really nice.Damn,need to stop giving myself idea's :D.

Post by: Faust23 on 17 April 2012, 07:51:48 AM: Those are very well painted! And very disturbing at the same time. Great job! :-* :-* :-*
Title: Re: Four A Sea Demons
Post by: Thantsants on 17 April 2012, 05:21:43 PM: Thanks again Deafnala - some great bedtime reading there!

Manic - I have to cook something up like that for my round 10 entry...

Thanks Faust >:D

Post by: DeafNala on 17 April 2012, 08:37:39 PM: Your welcome, Amigo. Once you get by some no-longer-there photos you'll find some interesting shore line terrain.

Post by: Little Odo on 19 April 2012, 05:52:54 PM: Ugly little buggers. Excellent paint job makes them look so creepy. Character just oozes from them.
