3mm test print 1

 Sliced the base off of the 6mm model and printed it at 40% to see if that works ok for 3mm. Might run another test tomorrow at 50%.

And somethimes it just doesn't work.

Multi part in 15mm and 28mm are coming out fine, the 15mm with a loss of detail but nothing terrible.

Starship engine printed at 15mm and ready for cleanup.

Scifi trams at 28mm and 15mm, ready for cleanup

Scifi train reay for assembly and cleanup, for the Stargrave scenario the Heist. Might add a passengercar to the list, the flatcars end up too thin on the sides to print safely so I will need to mod those a bit. 

But then I try one of the WoW files again and it fails (again) at the 2nd layer. 

Oh well, such is life 
 

Northag in 3mm - doing the paperwork

 After 2 games of Northag in 15mm I found I simply don't have the room for the game I would like to play, but I like the game. After mathing some math, looking at the pro's and cons of 3mm vs 6mm I've decided to give 3mm a go. I painted that before, I can do that quickly with a nice bit of detail, and that just leaves the isuses of the lists, purchasing and basing.

Lists:
I've downloaded a British and a Russian list from the FB Group, noted down the numbers.

Purchasing: 
Made an order with Oddzial Osmy for both, plus some civillian stuff. The way the packs works it means some will  just barely cover it and others I will have way too much, but it is what it is. 

Basing:
Vehicles will be single based, troops per team.

For all vehicles I'm nudging towards 40mm x 20mm  or 30mm x 30mm wide for practicality purposes (standard sizes help with fitting in the box, infantry teams can be on 30mm round, Specialists on 20mm rounds?. Command bases 40mm or square, just like the offboard support markers..... but tbh I can't make my mind up about base sizes. It doesn't really matter for Northag anyway, and every other system seems to have their own special needs. I'll give it a good think as I'll need to paint everything first anyway. 

I'm still keeping 7 days to the Rhine in the back of my head as a backup btw. 

That and I should not be overthinking this, ey?

The Sarkarians (Verrotwood Cult)

 

Sarkar the Divine


Before the death of the Gods, the small village tended to the docile orb weaving Sarkarian spiders living in the nearby Forest around the shrine of Sarkar, and harvesting the strong fibers of their webs for a light and very expensive cloth. It was a hard life, but they managed.

And then the Darkness came.

Suddenly the spiders weren’t so docile anymore. Several workers are attacked and killed, their poisend bodies used as nurseries. Even worse, the spiders started growing, and growing, from small hand sized spiders to the size of a Bull. When they started entering the village in search of food, a local harvester donned a suit made of the special cloth and approached the largest spider carrying an offering of fresh meat wrapped in strands of web, wafting in a cloud of incense, weaving it left to right, stomping his feet and mumbling rhymes praising Sarkar to himself.

The spider stopped as if hallucinated, bowed down, and took the offering placed in front of his monsterous jaws, and backed off back into the forest. Sarkar would be pleased, if only we appeased His children more His favour would surely return.

But now the animals have all been slaughtered and fresh meat must be aquired, so the villagers are flooding the Forest in search of more fresh meat. Animal or Human, Sarkar cares not. And with enough offerings, Sarkar will decend from the heavens to give plentyful bounty to her followers.

Well, they hope anyway. 

Pinetrees drying and ready for base primer and flocking

 Getting there.

Pining for the trees WIP

 Picked up a joblot of tufts last week and in it was a big bag of H0 scale pine trees. Use it or lose it, so started basing them up this weekend.

Will work fine as young ones for STALKER and regular pines for 15-20mm. And yes, my dinnertable is a right mess atm.

Pain is finally receding again though my skin is still FUBAR, but at least I have an interest in doing stuff again instead lying in bed doped up. Jay.
