The basic board is a Forge World realm of battle board, with a custom built crane (that was a b%&ch) and manufactorum complex. The theme is a small mechanicum force patrolling down the streets, which is ironic as the force is mostly very big guys.
The Krios Tank and Paladin Knight impose.
Custom crane: such a nightmare.
Of course all 3 Knights have the cockpits I kitbashed and installed, which will display on the day.
So that's that. Please wish me luck on Saturday, as I don't have many friends or family, which limits the people voting for me!

Its funny you say that! I actually have red models painted up, however, there was so much red, it became rather boring to look at. I had built some 'bodyguards' for the Tech Priest, using marine shotgun scouts with the enviro-helm Cadian heads, and they were simply too red, despite looking cool.
ReplyDeleteThus I decided that the Knights and anyone looking after them directly would be red, as would the Tech Priest, and I swapped minis out and put the grey mechanicum in for some real contrast, for better or worse. I am really glad you brought that up tho!
It is a shame how the voting works, and I know it will work against me as I am not a regular in this store, nor do I ever shy away from voicing my opinion which won't help me either. It is a shame to see a less then average board take the gold, BUT I like to think I stand a fighting chance. Thanks for the kind words mate.
That crane is great. What went into it? It sounds like it was a bit of a struggle though...
ReplyDeleteThe majority of the crane is Warhammer Fantasy Movement Tray frames, there are spare tank tracks off a Baneblade, internal panels off a Storm Raven, the hull of a Dark Angels Flier, cut down to be thinner, and spare landing pads off a Storm Raven.
DeleteGreat work!
DeleteWhile the crane was clearly a ton of work the result is brilliant!
