What are you doing today hobbywise?

I've put away the models I've used in the Apocalypse we played yesterday (a demonstration in a public street during an open day festival)


The battlefield:
the bow of a destroyed chaos warship crushed on a planet of the imperium…

Nurgle defends the ship (with 2 free reinforcements each turn)

AdMech & Grey Knights prepare the assault (with the objective to enter in it)

...while Khorne ad Nurgle united try to halt the planetary defense force

The crucial clash of mightiest heroes! (spoiler : the Dreadknight will crush the daemon ;))

Shaded some of the Carrion yesterday and the rest of the zombies are ready for basing.
Also put some stuff on ebay and someone offered me £10 for the Space Marine half of the Dark Imperium, this is models, bases, book and transfer sheet. All of it is not built. Urm.
 
The usual painting today, ran out of screaming skull though so I can't highlight the straps/bandages on the models. Well can carry on painting the hounds, they are halfway there, maybe more.
Also want to do a day for just building miniatures, have a small pile that needs doing.
 
Doing small corrections trying to salvage the Carnosaur.
I have been struggling with lack of motivation the whole week, since I tried to airbrush the Carnosaur and failed spectacularly.
 
Don't know how to base my Carrion, grey dirt or brown dirt. Feels like the grey is better because of the reds and brown tints the Carrion have. But not sure.
Just built a Basilisk also, never realised how thin the arms are.
 
I am digging for Old Minis (1999 or earlier).

To make up for the lack of a GURPS campaign session this evening, I found myself playing a game of Dreadfleet for the first time.

Did you post about it anywhere? Can’t remember which space game or navy game that is...

Just curious, was it any good?

It was a pretty fun specialty game to play, to say the least. Apart from the usual dice rolling for command checks, broadside attacks and boarding actions, card draws are used to represent unpredictable sea conditions and inflicted damage (be it to the crew, the hull, the sails, the ship's mascot, etc), making each round an interesting affair.

How many ships does each player field? Are they all from the same faction/army?

Each player has control over five ships that each hail from different factions and regions, mostly owing to the pirate theme of some ships being stolen.

The Grand Alliance
The Grand Alliance consists of five vessels.

The Heldenhammer, captained by the leader of the Grand Alliance, Captain Jaego Roth. It fields 180 cannons and hosts the Grand Templus, a large temple blessed by holy powers. It also sports Sigmar's Wrath, a statue representing Sigmar wielding a steam powered hammer used to smash enemy vessels

The Swordfysh has the only female captain in the Grand Alliance, Aranessa Saltspite. Aranessa was born without normal legs, and with spined flesh instead. She later amputated her legs, and replaced them with the jagged blades of sawfish.

The Flaming Scimitar is powered by magics and The Golden Magus stands at its helm. He casts powerful magics upon his opponents instead of using traditional weaponry.

Grimnir's Thunder is the Dwarven battleship piloted by Red Brokk Gunnarsson, a master engineer from the Dwarven seahold Barak Varr. Grimnir's Thunder can launch a dirigible from its decks.

Seadrake is a High Elven ship, captained by Prince Yrellian. The Seadrake has bolt launchers instead of cannons. Yrellian can call upon his dragon allies to aid him.

The Dreadfleet
The Dreadfleet also consists of five vessels.

The Bloody Reaver, the flagship of the Dreadfleet, with the vampiric Count Noctilus at its helm and manned by an undead crew. The Bloody Reaver is able to repair itself using wrecked ships. The Count can summon powerful sea monsters to do his bidding.

Skabrus is an undead orb leviathan that has been turned into a vessel by Skretch Half-Dead and his Skaven crew. It is powered by warp energy and fires warp lightning.

The Curse of Zandri, a war barque commaded by King Amanhotep, a Tomb King. A Pyramid tomb was constructed in its center and is capable of firing focused beams of sunlight, setting its targets ablaze. It also sports five marble Ushabti with great weapons, and uses catapults instead of cannons.

Black Kraken, the monstrous construction of Tordrek Hackhart, a Chaos Dwarf, which has been imbued with the soul of a demon. Tordrek holds a personal grudge against Red Brokk Gunnarsson.

Shadewraith, the ghost ship of the ghost captain Vangheist. The Shadewraith is insubstantial and is capable of flying over the waves, thus making it harder to hit.
