Sinewgrab's New All-Encompassing VSF Topic (what's this? an update?!)

[commissarmoody]

Nice to some action on this form again. 

[Sinewgrab]

Thanks!

But have you ever posted a photo, looked at it later, and immediately picked up the figure to realize to your dismay you missed something, like, say, eyebrows on half of them?

Gah!

[kidterminal]

I love these sailors.

[Metternich]

Those crewmen (er, crewwomen) certainly add some strength to your landing party.

[Sinewgrab]

And more!

The last of the sailors...



Some mechanics to help with all those 'Nefs...



And an experiment...

So, I originally chose the WW1 Belgians as the closest uniform I could find to a historically accurate Norwegian uniform of 1880 to 1900, and they did actually use shakos still, though they were shifting to pickelhaubes and kepis by 1885. However, I am not the richest of men, and I wanted to expand my forces, so I started looking at what I already owned, and some time back I traded one of my converted priate ships for about 80 RAFM Space: 1889 british, but found the idea of painting british very blase'.  So, this happened...




I think, as a 'equatorial' uniform, this may be something I can do to freely add a significant number of models to my Norwegian army, and it doesn't look half bad.  Opinions?

[kidterminal]

I don't know what a Norwegian tropical uniform would look like but those figures look good I don't see why you couldn't go that route.

Great stuff

Gah!

They're blonde Nordics! You can never see the eyebrows anyway!  

Hiatus for most of a year, and I'm still at 'Wow. Just Wow.'

Wild about the lasses, and think your 'get by' Brit expansion is brill, but those mechanics take the cake for me.

I'm not going to have to wait another 7-10 months for further goodness, am I?  

After all, thems that can, do, thems that can't, whine until you show them something else shiny.

I think your repurposing of the RAFM British works very well.

[twrchtrwyth]

Excellent sir, bravo.

[warrenpeace]

Sinewgrab, any pics of your fleet in action during the Sky Galleons of Mars scenario at Enfilade?

[Sinewgrab]

Oh, yeah, actually I do.  I completely forgot to post any.






These are all I have, though.  I was too busy trying to run to take a lot of photos.  We had Norwegians against Martians and British, and the Norsk took the day.  Too many guns compared to the others, and I actually actively reduced the amount of firepower compared to what I put on them originally. Gene felt they were too powerful - and he may not be wrong.  Everyone at the table laughed when I told the Norwegian players to play like they were pre-civil war Texans with Aeronefs when they were trying to decide how aggressive to be.  It is, in my opinion, an apt comparison to how I view their place on Mars.

[Sinewgrab]

Oh, and a building I got at Enfilade for a song that I think will work for VSF or for Fallout New Vegas...

[The_Beast]

I imagine you could run a plank out and use the tower as passenger embarkation point. 

And, of course, as I think some of the ships haven't been seen before, a link to the 'nef sticky is in order. I'll see what I can do.

No, I think they actually are, from last year's Enfilade.
