  1. Thanks for the sugestion Pretre, I think you mean this?  http://www.manticgames.com/mantic-shop/pre-order/deadzone/product/deadzone-scenery-upgrade-pack.html

     

    Which looks cool, and is on preorder.  There are alot of lasercut options out there.  I bought some lasercut road tiles not too long ago that were one of my favorite hobby investments yet.  

     

    (EDIT: This is not the price from the Kickstarter, so I may not have made a proper comaprison)

     

    24.99 British Pound Sterling equals
    41.01 US Dollar
    Which isn't exactly dirt,  but I will spend more than this every time I dive into any of these terrain projects.  It's rarely ends up being about saving money.... although I like that too!
    Also this, while cool, and very necromunda-y

    Is not not equal to :

    Which I did not make, and am completely inspired by,

  2. My highlighting is pretty weak, so any effort on your part is commendable.  Sometimes pictures don't capture what you see in person, so don't sweat it too much.  Brass I would work to bronze with washes.    

     

    Glowing is a whole 'nother thread!   

     

    Just going for a lens with a small reflective dot is a nice touch.

  3. Basic digital cameras have a macro option, which can help, if you can keep it steady, and get the camera fairly close to the subject.  Even with a cell phone I try to brace to stabilize the shot, make sure there is good indirect light around the model,use marco settings, and turn off the flash. Photographers will give you all kinds of well supported advice about aperture and focal length, and stuff.  This is not that kind of advice.  Mine is more like "hey I took some pictures like this that turned out good enough to post on the local boards..."  

     

    Have fun!  The model looks great, and will be ready for play when based.  Detail on the eyes?  Glowing on the plasma pistol?   The hand and arm holding the ax could use a wash with something like Argax Earthshade.

  4. Building the rooms in a way that allows for both external and internal detail is something that I wish I had done.  I ended up wanting the rooms to be able to fit together to create a spacestation of tight corridors or as a series of stand alone buildings with distinct exteriors.  .  

     

    I might have the individual dimensions incorrect, but the idea of leaving a base lip around the building that is a thick as any of the facades will let the buildings fit closely together.

  5. Scott, I love your ideas!  I hope to contribute in some way to the club table. Please keep us posted as this develops and speak on on how we can best help!

     

    This is kind of what I picture when you say facade:

     

    The piece in my hand is the same that is glued to a small rectangle of dry-erase board in the background.  IMG_5626.JPGv

     

    Dry-erase board is a light, strong material that you can get pretty cheap at home depot, and is just what you've got in conference rooms.  

     

     

     

    Doors anyone?

    These are older pics, but still relevant.

  6. The table hasn't seen action in a while, and is already packed to travel, so no big deal there.  It's a shame how much love went into it that it sits unused. 

     

    3 is completely cool.  I'm down to just have fun and explore the rules.   I have some cool mission cards and tokens from SOKillzone that, I think, have direct application in HoR:KT.  We don't have to use them at all, but they are great food for thought.  What's a 1v1v1 game look like?  Each player draws a (secret)mission card with an option to reject and go for kill points?  

     

    Also, If you're interested, here are pictures of a 2 x 250 Green Blood Angels teams against 2 x 250 Overly Silvery Gray Knights teams:

    (Edited to make it seem like I meant in my head...)

  7. I'm thinking it's time to throw my team in the ring....  Saturday you say?  What time is best for you?  I have a bunch of Terrain that I built when we were deep in to KillZone.  Shall I bring some down?  Oh and have you seen any rules having to do with open/closing/locking/blowing doors?
