Quar on Venus: More airship pics added May 22: pg4.

[Laughing Ferret]

Longtime lurker on this forum, first time showing something.

I've joined in a campaign for Venus, and decided to run Quar.  The Quar come from Phobos in this setting, and I've done some background fluff if you're partial to such things    I also figured it was the perfect motivation to finally paint my Quar! I'm mostly using Royalist Quar since their uniforms fit a bit better into a VSF setting I think.

I finished painting a walker automaton, converted from a Star Wars mini:


and have some other conversions waiting to be painted, such as this 6pounder attack walker & a light gatling walker:


First sighting by the Imperialists from Earth:

But it won't be their last...

I have some of the conversion process for them & fluff here: http://laughingferret.blogspot.com/

WOW
Great first post.
Welcome aboard LAF.
I love what you've done to the SW mini and look forward to seeing the rest of your Quar force painted up and in action!

Thanks
Amalric

Very nice. Your walker looks ace!

[DeafNala]

WELCOME ABOARD! That's a FINE way of introducing yourself. There's something about the Quar that really appeals to moi; your Walkers are a splendid addition to the Lads.

After the Imperialist Forces see them coming, then, you will be able to ask "who's laughing now?"

I love it. Quar in VSF is a time thats come!

The Royal Cytherian trading company welcomes the Dezinens of Phobos.  We look forward to a mutually profitable arangement.  Mind you don't get to close to those parrotmen, nor should you stand to close to that Vickers.  The crew is a bit trigger happy.

Every once in awhile... Okay, ALL THE TIME, one has a moment of forehead meeting the palm of your hand. 'Oh, that model as a two-legged walker...' *thunk* 

Well done on seeing things anew, and such a well done conversion of that vision!

I've always hoped I might get some motivation by sheer osmosis on this forum. You've renewed that hope, former lurker. Keep it up.

thanks everyone, happy to be here and happy to put some pictures up as things progress.

I got a couple toys that I'll be turning into flyers next in short order, should be fun to make.

Couldn't agree more Chairface (love the Tick reference btw), Quar are a good fit for VSF I think, seems not unreasonable for any alternate setting from Victorian through WWII even low-tech sci-fi. but the contraptions of VSF are particularly appealing.

Laughing ferret, you need to improve your Icon address to say Sacramento CA.  That way we get more credit for the creativity of the group.  We are trying to make the rest of the world jealous of our game designing talents. 

Can't wait to see the Quar themselves painted up.

[Laughing Ferret]

Done 
speaking of creative: I had some fun making a couple light flyers for the Quar, will try to get some pictures up soon.

Here are the Quar Airships I made.  
I'm still debating whether to us a propeller or not.


I posted some background on them here:

congratulations
Your modelling is neat and accurate, and also very authentic when painted (the walker)
though clearly not realistic, it does appear so

You tried converting the new GW dark eldar barges?

[Bobble]

Wow! Some great looking conversions there! Welcome aboard

Rivets good, mmmmmmm more rivets.....
