@timbus the thirteenth certainly don't mind if you do, thank you!
@timbus the thirteenth certainly don't mind if you do, thank you!
@Brian Van De Walker Thanks for the tip, those might work too. I suppose I could take the front off the Irish cape, too, if it doesn't fit Oathmark dwarves elsewise. Gonna put in an order at the FL...
@timbus the thirteenth I did eye that one for the cloaks, and that shield with the javelins. But I'm a little wary on how an actual proper cloak like that, with the wrap around the neck, would sit ...
@Mithril2098 Thank you for the tip, but I don't and I really dislike 3d prints for some reason.
I mean, I'd buy one that had just some cloaks and backpacks and that kind of stuff on it. Generic weapons I could glue on if I wanna do up a couple varied ones from whatever Oathmark dorfs I got le...
Very nice! Wish I could do half as good a job as those. Really like that green effect on the energy weapons.
@Drangir whether it's a case of great minds think alike or fools seldom differ, it's perhaps best not to ponder too deeply. Anyway, here's the second batch. The Spacenam - arms definitely seem like...
@Battle Specter Hopefully, they'll serve as a gang in the dark underhive too. Got the Spacenam -box (that took some tracking, it's a pretty rare kit it seems. Might need to get a re-mailer in Norwa...
Had the chance to spend much of the day working on these guys, I think the scale difference disappears with the paint to a large degree
@Battle Specter don't know about that, I'm on a little bit of a monomaniacal dwarf obsession right now. Do like the look of the Raumjäger in general, but only got them for their arms. Which, i...
Got the Raumjäger! They fit very nicely, a definite step up from the Einherjar own weapons I think. Also decided to try some GW bits for Necromunda, but I think the scale difference migh...
@Battle Specter Thanks! The GI's are definitely a stellar kit. Gonna try bashing together some more of the Einherjar once I get them in the mail, I think I might run into an issue with them being a...
Oh man, here's hoping. This looks like it'd have the exact bits I need for my spacedorf project.
So, anybody got an idea as to how compatible Raumjäger arms are with the Einherjar bodies? I got a hankering for some more spacedorfs I think...
@timbus the thirteenth yeah, that's definitely similar. Some others a little like it, too, the Komsomolets is enclosed, the Kettenkrad or whatever was halftrack, I think there's some others too.
A bit of a silly little thing, to go with Necromunda. A Rapier from the big bad wolf serves as a chassis for this little racer. The driver's an Einherjar, the arms weren't the easiest to set ...
@timbus the thirteenth and here they are finished, bases and all. Walker's plodding along well, too. Finished the front, building a transport bed for the back atm
Here's the rest of the crew until I assemble some more. I think I want some more rifles and field caps with fur.
Also, next batch of four guys
@timbus the thirteenth oh yes, I do. I got the tank and the walker from Rampart. Definitely recommend both kits. Walker's got enough extra legs I reckon I could rig up a trailer behind it ...
Still waiting on bases to come in the mail, I obviously forgot to add the deck bases into the same order and had to buy from a retailer this side of the customs wall. I'm not the greatest painter b...
Very much not a photographer, but it does work. A bit thinner, but the fit as regards chest width is pretty good.
@Brian Van De Walker yeah, that's a thing I was/am worried about, whether they're gonna fit easily. Am not very good at sculpting and joints I've done in the past that need putty of some kind are r...
@timbus the thirteenth just waiting on the post office. It's good if they have the same proportions. Looking at the pictures I'm a little worried the GIs might have longer arms, but it might just b...
So, I decided to go for it and buy the Einherjar, been eyeing them for some time. Gonna kit some out just as they are in the box for use in Death Fields in case I ever find someone willing to try a...
Any idea when the Einherjar are getting a roster? Might finally pick some up if and when they do
@Yronimos Whateley Different strokes, I suppose, but I got an overdose of the whole subverting the tropes / complexity of characters / moral greyness/relativism in fantasy thing somewhere back in t...
@timbus the thirteenth aye, come on classic fantasy dorfs!
@Mithril2098 Yes, if they use wagons then it is very appropriate. However, I'm not sure they would use wagons. Wheels are a good way of conveying things, but not the only way. They could use beasts...
@Mithril2098 yeah, war wagons are cool. The only issue is that dwarves are a people of the mountains. Wagons don't do well there. And they're not really an active warfighting thing, rather they're ...
@Yronimos Whateley personally, I favor non-horse mounts for dwarves. Something off with the aesthetics of horses+dorfs. The yak is now my favorite, elephant was in pic because I was using ai tool t...
Sponsons could definitely be built as add-on kits. Modular ones, fitting more than one specific kit, would be hard / require work from the assembler, but I reckon something like that could be done ...
Been eyeing the einherjar and the raumjäger, but don't have anything to use them on so haven't yet bit the bullet. Probably gonna get some whenever I next order (when's Classic Fantasy Battles...
So I won't bother with answering all that, but I had another idea while working on my rpg stuff. The goats for Classic Fantasy Battles are nice and all, but how about... WAR YAKS! ...
@timbus the thirteenth Effective, sure. My personal favorite is probably the descriptions of their ways of war in the MERP rulebook Moria, with the decisive infantry advances and very nice descript...
@Brian Van De Walker Again, that is quite simply your personal conception. The myth is not begging it, it is not asking for it, the thought would never even pass for many, possibly most people. Tha...
@timbus the thirteenth Close, something like that. Proper Fantasy, to me, is a vaguely dark ageish aesthetic. Some mix of early dnd art, Larry Elmore, that kinda stuff. The most proper version has ...
@timbus the thirteenth Definitely. The puddles vary a little in size. I got some unpainted, unbased orcs and a 25mm round handy and tested, 3-4 sit comfortably, I can cram 9 orcs onto this bad boy ...
From the left to the right, 10mm base, 12mm base, 15mm base and a monster on a 20mm base for comparison. I definitely think the 12mm base is the correct size for these, 10mm doesn't fit much more t...
@Brian Van De Walker No, that's just not true. They are definitely craftsmen, but magical craftsmen. Not technology. Arguing they do magitech is just plain false, not supported by anything, an opin...
@timbus the thirteenth well, since you asked, I'll ramble. Whfb: this is a weird one. Very much their own thing, the newer sculpts, doubly so with the AoS factions. The warriors are approaching wh...
@timbus the thirteenth Oh, I could wax on endlessly about the differences between those, definitely not generic 😂. Yeah. That might actually not be a terrible idea at all. There's some stuff on all...
Just some ramblings. I've gotten all of my dwarves and some of my orcs painted. There were some single models on the sprues and on a whim I decided to start putting all those on individual bases, n...
@Mithril2098 as timbus there pointed out it might not be a bad idea to do the sprue with a basic, universal, boring to some but popular among dwarf aficionados kind of bodies and equipment as a cor...
@Brian Van De Walker I won't say you're wrong since it's all an opinion, but I will say I disagree with you. Let's start with rehashing the fact that Oathmark are not norse, and neither are th...
@Brian Van De Walker Oh, I disagree they're the same. Disagree hard on that. Obviously, you're entitled to your opinion. Victrix heads sadly do not fit the Oathmark bodies, they're too small....
@Brian Van De Walker the ones on the classic fantasy range. They're not boring, they're near perfect. A little smaller axehead, a proper crossguard on the sword and they'd be perfect. And a spear, ...
Just sayin', you make a set of plastic dwarves that look like the ones on Strange Plastic I'll buy two or three hundred at the drop of a hat. Would buy the strange plastic ones except I have a weir...
