Legio Favilla walks - Ashen Gods unleashed

[Sherrypie]

Thanks Mendi, glad you like 'em :)

[Interrogator Stobz]

Do you have any Pics alongside Titans to share with us?

 

They look brilliant Brother

Never fear, Interrogator!

Who knew, titans look like quite big machines when there's infantry around :D

[schoon]

Those are awesome. They really add a sense of scale in addition to being cool in their own right.

 

I might need to consider picking up that design...

[Interrogator Stobz]

Magic :tu:

[Sherrypie]

Moar magic inbound, then!

Something big yet tiny today, painted the Ordinatus up finally. Party hard with all the noise! Perhaps he'll see life as an AT battlefield asset as well, occasionally.

[schoon]

That Ordinatus rocks!

 

How did you do the treads? 3D print?

 

...and beautiful work on the painting.

[Gattopardo]

My goodness! Awesome, simply awesome. A great model with a fantastic paintjob as well.

 

I loooove the Ordinatus. I really hope it gets released for AT at some point. Of all the super heavies it seems the most appropriate for AT to me, although being a tracked vehicle rather than a walker it'd need some different mechanics I think, for movement at least. 

 

In the meantime, yes, using it as a battlefield asset makes a lot of sense.

[Sherrypie]

Thanks lads :)

 

@schoon: yeah, it's built on top of printed Mechanicum tanks. I cored out one transport to mostly be a big pair of tracks with some gubbins inside:

 

[Sherrypie]

Moar!



First Vultaraxii hit the field, as well as one rather tendrite-heavy magos. The Ordinatus needs someone to attend it, naturally ;)





 

[Doctor Perils]

The ordinatus and mech assets look great! Any ideas for what kinds of rules you'd give them? Especially interested in the sonic blaster (or whatever it's called)

[Sherrypie]

Thanks Doc!

 

As an asset, I'd probably go with something like a slowly moving bunker that has a void shield (which regenerates at the beginning of the Strategy phase), maybe even more shields that slowly disperse as the game goes on. The gun would probably work fine as a Mori equivalent, hitting relatively hard at range and shaking the place up wherever it hits. Could have Rending instead of Quake, maybe? Definitely Concussive. 3-4 SP depending on the implementation, perhaps?

[Mendi Warrior]

Wonderful, I truly love your creations!

[Mandragola]

Top stuff as always. Great combination of printing and old skool conversions.

[Sherrypie]

Cheers fellas.

 

On the new stuff, I did recently paint up some Krios tanks as well. For some reason people think they are actually gingerbreads...

 

[schoon]

First - lovely!

 

Second - I can now never un-see the gingerbread comparison, which is actually fairly apt now that you mention it.

[Sherrypie]

Cheers schoon!

 

Though these would probably make your stomach cramp, I want to have a gingerbread wargame one of these days where you can just eat the units as they die...

[Sherrypie]

Raah, progress!

Flagellum Dei, the Scourge of God, joins the ranks of the Ashen Gods this day.

Nomen est omen and so on, the tasty irony in the naming being that though the Great Crusade was a secular endeavour, Legio Favilla was most often unleashed only after peaceful negotiations had been rebuffed and a complete eradication of opposing civilizations was requested. Thus, like a divine retribution of whatever deities they might have bowed to, did the resisting planets bring on themselves their doom until only ashes remained.

A bit of freehand training this time, couldn't find suitable transfers so I just painted the whip then :D

As ever, click 'em bigger.

[Mandragola]

Excellent Reaver. The pose, the freehand and the NMM on the trim are all really cool. Did you have to do a lot of work on the shin armour to get it to fit?

Not too much, just bevelling the inner side of the toe arch a bit from the right leg's armour. If you look closely, the armour does overlap the inner right toe and slides in place without much trouble.

[General Zodd]

That is a great addition, I love your whole blanchitsu vibe on the conversions and beautiful paint jobs!

[Sherrypie]

Thanks Zodd. Every frame a painting, every engine unique ;)

[schoon]

That freehand is excellent, as is the "Edward Scissorhands" chainfist.

 

Great model all around. You should be proud of that one!

[Lord_Borak]

Yeah, that free hand is nothing short of awesome. Even the design is awesome. Your own creation or copied from somewhere?

 

I might have to copy that Chainfist design......... Altough that means another Reaver... Dammit.

[Sherrypie]

Thanks schoon and Borak.

 

The flag is original, if pretty generic. I just painted a brown splot on the canvas and added lighter lines until it shaped up, took maybe an hour or so.
