I just had to quickly assemble it around and throw a few figures on it to show you guys how they look on the map.

How Great !

Outstanding! I'm sure with your skills you'll have no problem putting together a modular 3D system. Cork is a popular choice, as is polystyrene with a bit of filler or the like to strengthen it. Though at this scale even some thick card, covered in something to texture and strengthen, would look pretty good.

Bit like the "map" in the opening credits of Game of Thrones? All abstracted and very blocky and angular? Sounds good.

Beautiful, the map and the miniatures!

What a wonderful project!

Well done!

It has already been said, but that is SUPERB!

Hello!

I've managed to paint up some more Medieval madness (Been starting from scratch multiple times as you can see, now I've switched to the 3mm thick bases and painted up some Lancashire games 10mm Medieval miniatures.)

Still need to finish peasant units for all the players and then I'm done. And then I'll need to figure out how I'm going to do the board for this game, I'd like to keep it modular. And also have a "map" like aesthetic. Or maybe I'll keep it modular in a sense that you can add forests and mountains on top of regions to "lock" them out.

Yada yada yada, I've been literally in the ZONE and have made loads of progress in a short time. As our local vocational school was able to fix me some 3d prints for free (Siege Equipment). I really need to tap into this luck I've run into before they stop printing me stuff.

I've got 4x these painted up for 4 player colours.

A Neutral faction

Probably shouldn't say so on this forum but I really like the siege equipment. Maybe one day Leon will do a deal with the Finnish school.

Aye, some 3d stuff is awesome. But especially 10mm I'd always buy casted first.

(Got a bunch of warmaster stuff printed aswell, mostly heroes for test painting purposes)

The printer they had is industrial scale one, and uses wax with the resin. Absolutely horrendous to clean. But worth it I suppose for free printing.

Also the 3d resin feels so much different to paint than metal, as the surface isn't glossy.

I'm getting a full custom Necromunda Imperial Guard set printed this week, I can see the printing work great on 28mm models, when you can actually clean the models with a tootbrush instead of having to fear for your life that every stroke can mutilate a pike or a sword.

Your Phtos have disappeared

They show for me on the post. Can you try to see them on another device?

kipt · 30 May 2023, 04:11:46 PM

Gone on Firefox.

Noktu · 30 May 2023, 04:26:11 PM

Try to use Chrome if possible. I've uploaded the images from my google images.

Gwydion · 30 May 2023, 05:02:30 PM

Not seeing them on Chrome either

Noktu · 30 May 2023, 05:14:37 PM

Should be sorted out now!

Uploaded them to Flickr, god damn you google fotos!

So I basically have 4 times the red/yellow army you see composed in one of the images. Working on building 5 squads of peasants for each faction now, probably getting them out tomorrow. Therefore finishing the project. I plan on adding some TB line crusaders as heavy man-at-arms squads.
