[Box] - Deepwars
« on: April 20, 2013, 07:44:56 AM »
Right. I've entered http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=51661.0

My efforts will be focused towards an Aquatic setting. I've already dabbled in this area: http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=49170.15 but got no further than this due to second child eating my time. I'm going to restart this project.
In the spirit of the challenge - to start from scratch I am not planning on using this stuff if I can help it, and in order to avoid using the figures I shall focus things towards my current obsession: Antimatter's Deepwars. I'm aiming to make everything compatible, however.

I have two warbands for this game awaiting  my attentions - Dark Mariners and Scaly Horde. As I have no conveniently located IKEA I liberated a 5-ream box for printer paper from work (minus paper. Damn morals!). I plan on putting a partition in the box to provide multi-layered storage as I anticipate lots of smaller pieces of terrain rather than a few blocky ones to use up the space. The intention is to create a nice cluttered 3'x3' tabletop to brawl within. I was going to build my box around one terrain centerpiece but I wanted a more robust box rather than a one scenario wonder. If I end up with time and space I might try to create something special to slot in though.

I'm sorry this post doesn't contain any goodies or drawn plans, but it's purpose is to nail my trousers to the mast (better than "Nailing my Colours to the mast" as it will stop me from climbing down!) and motivate me to actually get on with stuff.

Right, progress is way too slow but I've all my figures assembled now (except the sea life, more on that next weekend!)

Here they are in their glory! On the left, the Dark Mariners deluxe starter box, on the right the Scaley Horde deluxe starter box.




Obviously I'm not nearly as far a long as I need to be, but I'm setting myself the target of having all of these at least ready to varnish by next weekend. Also due for construction this week - some coral scenery. I have the parts assembled just need to sit down and put them together.

A small bit of sharky goodness.

I guess I ought to point out the shark is a prepaint from Schleich (or however you spell it!). The base is micro art studio. Really, only the paintjob on the base and the addition of seaweed is all I can lay claim to here ;)

The aquarium plants look great on the base of the model. I can imagine the shark stalking prey along the sea floor. Interesting sea floor temple terrain too.
