Greetings!
I had completely forgotten how long it
takes to paint a large building! Dry brush, wash, dry brush – wash – and so on.
Time consuming and a “lonely atmosphere”. When I started out in December, my
goal was to finish two gaming tables and terrain to go with it, by the end of
February. Did not manage that, but now I am finally finished:)
First out – pictures of the Shrine of
Aquila:
Second – pictures of the bridge, tank traps
(one remake and one new) and finally, two new craters:
When it comes to the craters and the tank
traps most people know I like to try to “improve” on the basic design of the GW
kits. So I crumbled up “jacko foam” and used my concrete/sand/glue mix (and
spare parts) in order to blend it all in with the fixed craters etc on my new
“City of death” gaming table. Finally, pictures of the finished board
with finished terrain:
I am so much looking forward to my game
Saturday. An all day / all evening game with Inger Helene initiating the gaming
table and new terrain (3000p Orks vs Ultramarines)! Inger Helene - WELCOME (chilli, vine, rome and coke and a of corse - a great game)!
As fore the future… Well, I have only
managed 4 games of 40K so fare in 2013, so I opt to game more. Also, after
spending almost 4 months of building terrain, I need a break from terrain
building (not very social). I still have to make one more gaming table, but I have to wait until
June when I will be able to clear out my storage room. I have plans fore more
DE as well as re-re-re-re-revisiting my Ultramarines in an attempt to make them darker
(more gloomy) and add more detail (including new bases). But I need a break.
Therefore I will revert to work on my WOC army, also focusing on Warhammer
Fantasy gaming, and not join in on the monthly hobby challenge on
TSB for quite some time. However, I would love to play more 40K, so do not
hesitate to challenge me to a battle:) The battle bunker is ready, with two brand new gaming tables to
play on (and I will of course also travel).
Cheers.

DeleteNo Razorspam, ore tourney style army, this time! I have brought forth my old commander (my alter ego so to speak) - Chaplain Desticado, who will take command over the Ultramarines Second Company!
This imperial city will not fall to the green tide, eh – over my (Chaplain Desticados) dead body anyway….
Looking very nice there, Ørn! The new building has a really clean - or perhaps 'pure' is the word I'm looking for - feel to it. Can't wait to have my Legionnaires toss your Devastators from the ramparts some time soon.
ReplyDeleteAlso: Very nice that the Green horde is on the move again!
THX Jørn! I hope we can have “a go at it” after the Easter holiday. Welcome!
DeleteLooking really really good! A nice addon to your already impressive city moduls. Hope we can get a game towards the end of easter holiday!

So looking forward to it Linus:)
DeleteThis turned out the way I expected. One word - AWSOME!!! After a sneak peak at the basic design earlier this year, the end result is really nice. Good basic designe, very nice paint job, really looking forward to test it out.
ReplyDeleteThank you Trond! Looking forward to have a game after easter ☺
DeleteHow cool (just as all the other buildings you have made over the last few years). Well done Mr. Ultramarines:)
ReplyDeleteThank you André! Looking forward to our up coming game☺
