Zweiundvierzig

Soweit, so gut. Ich muss aber gestehen, dass Du die Rüstungselemente mit deutlich dunkleren Pinwashes deutlicher klarer segmentieren solltest. Da wo weiße Rüstungselemente aneinanderstoßen oder sich überlappen, oder den segmentierten Gürtel zum Beispiel. Das geht gerade bei den Fotos mit den beiden Brüdern (in etwa auf Armeslänge) ziemlich verloren. Ansonsten interessanter Stil und ganz gut gelungen. Ich weiß, was Du da machen willst, muss mir das aber auch etwas länger anschauen. Du musst Dich da auch erst rantasten schätze ich, insofern bin ich mal sehr gespannt, wie sich das Ganze noch entwickelt.

Läuft bei mir den ganzen späten Vormittag und Mittag konstant schnell.

Eine Challenge absolut passend zu einem Projekt, dass ich gerade gestartet habe? Das passiert alle paar Jahre mal, da muss ich ja mitmachen! Ich arbeite seit mehreren Monaten an einem eigenen Star Wars-Skirmisher, der inzwischen schon sehr weit gediegen ist. Regelwerk, Spielmaterialien (inklusive grafisch gestalteter Einheiten- und Upgrade/Ereigniskarten), zahlreiche Minis auf Vitrinenniveau bemalt. Und jetzt beginne ich damit, Geländeteile für die Testspielplatte zu basteln (90x90). Das Thema ist Arcana - eine Ruinenwelt im vor tausenden von Jahren gefallenen Reich der intergalaktisch reisenden Dathomiri: Dazu verwende ich gedruckte Elemente, die im Prinzip ausschließlich Säulen und Statuen in verschiedenen Stadien des Verfalls sind. Viele davon werde ich zersägen und umbauen, um umgestürzte Elemente darzustellen, andere werden erweitert, zum Beispiel mit Mauerbau. Die um- und Anbeuten werden mit Plastikkarton und diversen Basteltricks vorgenommen. So sah der Start des Projekts aus: Hier ist ein erster Um- bzw. Anbau: Das Projekt wird bis Ende Juni wahrscheinlich nicht fertig, aber eins-zwei fertige Geländeteile werde ich bis dahin mit Sicherheit präsentieren können.

Wow, da ist ja ganz schön was zusammen gekommen im vergangenen Jahr. Und sieht auch noch topp aus!

Na, dann ein herzliches Willkommen! Mit dem Gelände habe ich heute angefangen - ich habe viele Säulen in verschiedenen Stadien des Zerfalls, ebenso Statuen, und ein paar andere Elemente. Ich baue einiges davon um, und Mauerwerk an. Eines von zwei Mauerelementen in gleicher Konfiguration aber unterschiedlicher Verfallstruktur habe ich heute fertig gebaut (graue Elemente sind gedruckt, weiße/helle Elemente sind selber gebaut), Zur Einschätzung - die kurze abgebrochene Säule zwischen den beiden Mauerstücken ist etwas Höher als eine 42mm-Mini auf ihrer Base: Irgenbwie tendiere ich immer dazu, es aufwändig zu machen... Die Mauer bestehen aus einer Schale 1mm dicken Plastikkarton mit der Umrissform, innen mit ein paar eingeklebten LEGO-Steinen auf exakten Abstand gehalten und stabilisiert. Die schmale Bruchfläche ist in die Lücke gedrücktes Küchentuch (mal größer, mal kleiner Knöllchen, auf das dann dünnflüssiger Sekundenkleber geträufelt wurde. Das wird dadurch sehr hart und stabil und hat eine schöne Textur für solche Bruchkanten. aus 0,5mm Plastikkarton wurden dann die Mauersteine geschnitten, aufgeklebt, und mit einem scharfen Bastelmesser verwittert. Aus 2mm Plastikkarton habe ich kleine Bruchstücke geschnitten und gebrochen, die dann auf den Bruchkanten und am Boden an den Mauern und Säulen angeklebt wurden, damit die Kante zum Boden nicht so sauber und perfekt aussieht.

Ich kann mich einfach nicht entscheiden, welches!

@D.J. Macht schon echt was her, diese bemalten Blöcke aus der napoleonischen (?) Ära (bei Schiffen könnte ich es genau sagen ).

Danke Dir, das freut mich! Ich hab's wahrscheinlich schonmal gesagt, aber OSL macht mir irgendwie Spaß.

Vielen Dank!

Da das Forum bei mir gerade flink kooperiert, präsentiere ich hier den fertigen Marrok auch mal:

Etwas verspätet, aber Marrok ist nun auch endlich fertig:

Ich habe etwas getrödelt - obwohl, eigentlich nicht: Ich habe mich vergangene Woche um ein paar andere Hobbysachen gekümmert, so dass Marrok ein paar Tage später fertig wurde, als geplant, nämlich heute. In den kommenden Tagen werde ich hier mit Geländebau anfangen - am Mittwoch habe ich nämlich ein mittelgroßes Paket voll mit Drucken von Daggi erhalten, und gestern habe ich bereits angefangen, um- und anzubauen. Ich warte jetzt noch auf eine größere Lieferung Sekundenkleber, die ich morgen erhalten soll, und dann gehts damit richtig los. Das Gelände ist dem folgenden Set ziemlich akkurat nachempfunden, und neben den gedruckten Elementen wird auch wieder einiges an Plastikkarton und... Küchentüchern (was für Tricks man damit machen kann verrate ich dann) zum Einsatz kommen: Es wurde auch an Karten weitergewerkelt, verbessert, die Spielmechanik mit der Macht und der Dunklen Seite habe ich noch thematischer umgestaltet... aber das werde ich euch zu passender Zeit alles zusammen präsentieren, anstatt dazu hier immer Stückwerk zu bringen, das sich in laufender Evolution befindet. Wenn es Fragen dazu gibt, beantworte ich die natürlich gerne!

Pffff... Eddie... den kennt ja jeder. Hat irgend wer eine Mini von Jon Mikl Thor? 🤣

Schreibweisen: bschyysse, bschiisseBedeutung: betrügen, bescheissen, hintergehen, mogeln, falsch spielen usw. Redensarten: "Es bschysst si nid hert" oder "Es bschysst sech nid vil" (Es kommt aufs Gleiche heraus, es ist gehupft wie gesprungen ).

Bei mir ist es auch dauernd langsam, aber ich gebe einfach nicht auf!

Ich finde es gut, dass es das Schattenkollektiv in Legion gibt. Damit werden nämlich auch all jene Spieler abgeholt, die, was ikonische Star Wars-Elemente und die Herausforderung ans eigene Spiel angeht, überhaupt keine Ansprüche haben. 🤣 Was die Produktentwicklung angeht ist das Schattenkollektiv das Bizarrste, was ich bisher im Star Wars Miniaturenhobby gesehen habe. Übertroffen hätte das nur von einer "Star Wars Holiday Special"-Battleforce werden können. Und letztere wäre wenigstens wirklich ein Joke. 🤣

CHICAGO by NIGHT - ein kurzer geschichtlicher Exkurs Der große Brand Die moderne Geschichte der Vampire von Chicago beginnt am 8ten Oktober 1871 mit dem großen Brand. Er begann mit einem Feuer in der Scheune der O'Leary-Farm südwestlich des Stadtzentrums. Dank trockener, warmer Südwestwinde breitete sich das Feuer schnell aus und kostete am Ende 300 Menschenleben sowie zerstörte 9 Quadratkilometer Stadtgebiet inklusive des Stadtzentrums. Das Feuer bedeutete auch das Ende des damaligen Vampirfürsten der Stadt sowie einiger Mitglieder des Primogen. Um Plünderungen zu vermeiden und die öffentliche Ordnung aufrecht zu erhalten stand die Metropole im Anschluss an den Großen Brand zwei Wochen lang unter Kriegsrecht und der Kontrolle der U.S. Army. Das Feuer machte beinahe ein Drittel der Bevölkerung Chicagos obdachlos. Während große Geldspenden und Lieferungen von Hilfsgütern aus anderen Städten - sogar den größten wirtschaftlichen Rivalen Chicagos - die Metropole in den kommenden Jahren schnell wieder auf die Beine brachte, war die Vampirbevölkerung für die kommenden Jahrzehnte von Zu- und Abwanderungen und zahllosen Konflikten geprägt. Nun, da einige der alten, einflussreichen Vampire der Stadt Asche waren, machten die Anarchen der Camarilla fortan die Kontrolle über die Stadt streitig. Die Blutfehden der Vampire fanden unter dem Deckmantel der Arbeitskämpfe statt, die in den 1880ern in dem zunehmend industrialisierten Chicago wie in der ganzen Nation stattfanden. Der Höhepunkt dieser Auseinandersetzungen war die Haymarket Affair, in deren Folge Gewerkschaften und Arbeitervereinigungen massiven Repressalien unterlagen und die Bonzen die Kontrolle zurück erlangten. Die Camarilla hatte wieder den Fuß in der Metropole, doch die Anarchen ebenso, und sie waren hier, um zu bleiben... TO BE CONTINUED IN THIS POST - Stay tuned for the Race Riots, the Valentine's Day Massacre, and the 1968 Democratic National Convention among other events!

Ein wenig spät, aber vielleicht hilft der Tipp bei zukünftigen Minis: Wenn man merkt, dass man bei einer Mini es nicht richtig hinbekommt, ein Schielen oder einen Silberblick bei den Augen zu vermeiden, dann lasst die Mini einfach zur Seite gucken. Also keine Reihenfolge Augenweiß-Pupille-Augenweiß, sondern bei beiden Augen entweder Augenweiß-Pupille oder Pupille-Augenweiß. Selbst, wenn es nicht so akkurat wird, sieht das dann besser aus als das Schielen oder der Silberblick, wenn man die Pupillen nicht beide richtig an dieselbe Stelle mittig in den Augen hinbekommt.

Das ist aber ein easy fix, wenn man zum Hobby auch Basteln und Umbauen zählt. Und das Gesicht kann man besser bemalen. Ich finde Sabine, Chopper und Hera am Besten bei den Minis - in genau der Reihenfolge.

Du hast mir die Worte aus dem Mund genommen. Die Minis sind toll - das wird sehr wahrscheinlich das einzige Shatterpoint-Produkt sein, dass ich mir holen werde, aber dann als Minis für mein eigenes Spiel.

Das ist der Plan. Die benötigten Minis - gar nicht mal wenige - sind schon bemalt, und in Kürze geht es an das Gelände für die Demoplatte.

@SpeziFisch Ausgezeichnete Arbeit! Komposition und Dynamik sind klasse, und die ganzen kleinen Details - bis hin zu den fliegenden Funken, sowas finde ich astrein! Auch das gemalte Lichtszenario ist super gelungen - da kann man so viel falsch machen. Es gibt eine klare neutrale globale Lichtquelle, und sekundäre Lichtquellen, die mit den umgebenden Oberflächen interagieren. Falls Du auf unser Adventsmaltreffen im November wieder kommst, bringe das unbedingt mit - das möchte ich mir gerne live anschauen!

Willst Du die Klone als als "Shinies" bemalen ("Shiny" ist unter den Klonsoldaten ein Begriff für einen Klon ohne Kampferfahrung, weil seine Rüstung noch wie neu aussieht), oder richtig schön mit Kampf- und Abnutzungsspuren? Ich persönlich bevorzuge letzteres - es verleiht den Truppen irgendwie Charakter. Das ist wohl auch der Grund, warum ich nie Spaß damit hatte, Stormtroopers zu bemalen, aber die abgeratzten Night Troopers (Stormtroopers, die 10 Jahre in einer benachbarten Galaxis gestrandet waren) haben richtig Laune gemacht.
