Desert Fantasy in 15mm - Tomb WIP 29/9/17

[Dr DeAth]

And decorator's caulk in your gloop... You dangerous maverick innovator you! (I'm definitely going to try that. I have tubes and tubes of the wretched stuff...

I like to live on the edge, or sometimes just over it - the brown caulk helps with the foundation colour too

Are you actually going to leave those mould lines on your Chinese palm tree trunks though?

Certainly not, I do have standards man, I'll be taking a scalpel to them shortly.  I just wanted to get all the bases done at the same time.

And yes, I did give Dean my address... How many do I need?

Depends how much you want to do, a few barbarians as characters and a dozen or so brigands would get you started.

[Dr DeAth]

Painted and based the first five figures:



I've a pair of barbarian archers, Brin and Bolk, who will feature as lesser heroes





A pair of barbarian shield maidens, Shika and Olgrin, also as lesser heroes



And the first of the baddies,  Wyn the Toothless, a necromancer and cultist



All figures are from the Copplestone fantasy range.

[Grumbledook]

Fabulous stuff! Those copplestone figures look a joy to paint up and your fleshtones are really good, as is the freehand on the shield.

The simple desert/sand coloured bases also show off the model, hmmm, the more sandy bases I see the more I think I'll switch to that colour on my own figures.

[Malamute]

They are a triumph. As good as any 28s in both sculpting and brushwork. Looking forward to playing this

[Hobgoblin]

Terrific! I particularly like the red-haired lady.

[Silent Invader]

Am very, very impressed Mark. 

[Romark]

Looking good 

[Dr DeAth]

At the risk of hijacking my own thread and turning into another LAF 3D printer discussion - which I really don't want to do - I've been playing with Tinkercad to produce some formers for scenery items.

In this case the items in question are architectural shapes for a cultist altar that will be part of a larger temple terrain piece

The pictures show the prints straight off the printer without any clean up but as I plan to render these with a plaster/pva mix I'm not too fussed about the print lines.

I'm not convinced that I've got the size right so I'm reprinting it again at 150%,

Great oiece of scenery. But you know: He'll kill you. Thulsa will kill you!

[Romark]

Nice scenery,but I agree,bigger is better ! Looking forward to next post

And here is the bigger altar - I think it works better but the Snake head statue on top now needs to be reworked too.

Yep,altar looks better,rather than reworking the snake head statue perhaps the addition of a plinth or spacer thingy under it would suffice,giving it more height and presence ? Just a thought

[Silent Invader]

Excellent Mark, didn't know you had a printer.

I agree with Keith about a plinth for the snake; it'd set it off. 

[mweaver]

You did an excellent job on those teeny tiny figures!  The snake alter is shaping up nicely as well.

Where do the batteries go?

All coming together nicely
