Title: Sedition War and Antenocitis Komodo- 2013-12-07 update
Post by: Agis on 09 March 2013, 04:39:25 PM: (http://www.adpublishing.de/assets/images/Inf_Sed_War_Inf.jpg)
I pledged last year on the Sedition Wars KS.

Some weeks ago the 1st batch arrived and - to be honest - I was deeply disappointed by the quality of the minis. The PVC was appalling and huge mold lines were visible all over. But since I am not a guy who easily gives up I scratched, reshaped and primed the minis. AND - after a good coat of white priming the minis was even easier to handle, the mold lines became more visible and I was able to get a decent finish.

The above mini in the centre is a female Sedition War trooper (more or less out of the box, different base and head swap) flanked by some Infinity Star Wars conversions. The goal was to create some Old Republic or New Republic trooper, worked for me.

That! My box is still sitting there waiting for a couple of missing pieces and then the 2nd part of the pre-order....

The head is also in the Sedition War pack, just on a another mini.

Title: Re: 1st Sedition War trooper painted
Post by: zizi666 on 10 March 2013, 06:32:38 AM: Glad to see a good result is possible.
I also noticed how a coat of primer brought the flash out and thus easier to remove.
The sheer amount of work that will go into the vanguard made me put this temporarily on hold, however, since I played my first game last week I'm tempted to give it another go.
I aim to have the figures cleaned and primed so I can start gaming with 'em and start actual painting thereafter. (last week we used a friend's box, who just glued them, so no paint)

Post by: kalamadea on 02 April 2013, 07:14:50 AM: wow, that PanO fig painted as a jedi is so amazing I'm gonna steal it myself! Fantastic stuff as always man, they look great :)

papa spanky - the Sewdition Wars models are very well detailed, it's the game tiles that people are having problems with. A lot of the room tiles are warping pretty badly just laying on the table. Figs are nice tho and bases are cool.
Title: Re: Sedition War troopers and Infinity "Jedi"
Post by: Agis on 02 April 2013, 10:03:44 AM: Have to disagree a bit, the minis have their rough spots, mold lines are way too prominent.

But as shown, it can be overcome... 8)
Title: Re: Sedition War troopers and Infinity "Jedi"
Post by: Nimrod on 02 April 2013, 10:40:50 AM: Interesting idea about converting this PanO mini to a jedi.
And the whole group is very well painted. :)
Title: Re: Sedition War troopers and Infinity "Jedi"
Post by: obsidian3d on 02 April 2013, 07:29:11 PM: Your work on these figures and integrating others into the theme is top notch so far. I'll be trying to go back and make some minor modification to my male Samaritan troopers based on what I've seen here.

I had also been trying to think about how to differentiate the different models on the table, since they're almost all the same. I had sketched up some ideas of primarily white armour with different colours on the shoulders (red, blue, green etc). Yours look better than what I was thinking, so I'm going to 'borrow' your schemes for my own models!

Post by: Agis on 07 April 2013, 09:44:46 AM: (http://www.adpublishing.de/Komodo_3.jpg)
Antenocitis incredible Komodo Suits are going to support my Sedition War Republic force. Consequently I chose a fitting colour palette. In addition more weathering was applied since these suits are supposed to be always in the thick of it.

(http://www.adpublishing.de/assets/images/Komodo_1.jpg)

IMO the miniature works really nicely together with the Sedition War minis.
Best thing IMO is the versatility of the model, it looks good even besides 15mm minis as you can see below.

To be honest I am always amazed how much thought Antenocitis put into the design of their models, just by reading their describtion for the Komodo you realise immidiately how much they care for their product! All thumbs up from me!

The Komodo doesn't fit quite that well with the upcoming SedWar suits unfortunately. They are nice on their own but they've obviously evolved along another branch of the tech tree.

Post by: Inso on 08 April 2013, 12:55:07 PM: Lovely work on the suit. It really fits the bill.

It is a costly item but it is worth the price. The trouble is that if you want a lot of them it is difficult to afford. I think that is where the Defiance suits will come into their own because people will be able to afford them in numbers...

... as to whether Defiance will manage to get quality products out there before hell freezes over... only time will tell :(

I think Antenocies should start giving you commission, you've certainly made me reconsider getting a couple of these things, I'd dismissed them as over priced before.

OTOH none of the games I play regular like (whatever that means these days) needs or in most cases will really even accommodate a platoon of this class ("size 3") of powered infantry (if you want to be able to play a game in an afternoon or so obviously).

But this is one of those situations where a few proponents of what I see as an exotic requirement will inevitably want to tell me that I'm wrong about it being "exotic" 8)

It certainly is exotic... for normal formations. Maybe only the officers or limited support troops would have them.

But if I like something, I need to buy enough to sate my obsession but not so many that I get bored and a platoon of around 30 is just about right for that :)

I don't game so it is just about collecting for me :).

Maybe my platoon is a bit like the drones in Ironman 2... for display purposes by the manufacturer lol
