the last few days but I decided this was a post I needed to make. If nothing
else it gives me a bunch of the web links, I use all in the same place. Several
times in my step-by-step painting series I have mentioned Star Breach and Star
Grave. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">I am a big fan of the sci-fi miniatures
offered by a certain big company. At least its a big company in the gaming
hobby. Their rules though, not so much. That is why I sought out systems to
replace those rules.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Free is good. I like free. I also
like skirmish level games Elijah M. Kellog has created three skirmish level
games that are miniatures agnostic: Star Breach, Supers and NCO. The system
uses a streamlined mechanic for attacks and random activations. The PDF of the
basic rules for all three of these is free to download with no strings
attached. They do sell a physical version and a deluxe version of Star Breach
but you don't need them to play.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">The most fun idea of Star
Breach is that you can play as just about any science fiction faction. You can
play as warriors of “The Path" as they battle "The Hive". Maybe
the "Legion of Mankind" is having a dust up with the "Machine
Cult". It is all up to you and your opponent. If you have minis for
it there is probably a faction for it.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><a href="https://www.starbreach.com/">https://www.starbreach.com/</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">The next set of free rules encompasses both fantasy and science fiction. One Page Rules is your one stop
shop for both army level rules and skirmish rules. Their two rules are
"Age of Fantasy" and "Grimdark Future". They have not only rules
but all of the army codices for any faction you'd like to try. One Page rules
also offers paper minis to play and Patreon supported stl files for printing
your own army.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">They also offer skirmish level
rules in GF: Firefight and AoF: Skirmish. The rules are not as innovative as the
Star Breach rules but this could make them easier to learn if you are used to a
certain big company's rules. For volume of rules and supplements you cannot
beat One Page Rules. Several YouTubers broadcast battle reports for the Grimdark
Future rules if you want to see them in action.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> <a href="https://onepagerules.com/">https://onepagerules.com/</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">If you prefer your free
skirmish rules with a healthy serving of strange and quirky you have come to
the right place. Ishtar, the Sumerian goddess of life and death is displeased
with her lack of worship. She has created a pocket dimension and captured
people and creatures from the past, present and future to battle for her glory.
Any models can be used fantasy, science fiction and even historical figures.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">There is a free ruleset available
but the catch is that you have to join their page on social media to receive an
invitation to download the rules. It’s a strange arrangement but you can always
unfriend them after you have the rules.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><a href="https://www.brutalityskirmishwargame.com/">https://www.brutalityskirmishwargame.com/</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">The last generic miniature
ruleset is not free. It is Stargrave by Joseph McCullough by Osprey Publishing.
The PDF is $24.50 and the hardcover is $35.00. This game is far different than
any of the previous titles.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">It is a skirmish level game
where each player creates the crew of a starship travelling a collapsing
galactic civilization to gather data to sell in order to make a living. You create
a captain and a first mate first and these are more like RPG characters as they
can level up and gain new skills and powers. After their creation you have 400
credits to purchase a crew to use to gather data throughout the galaxy.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">The campaign is a series of
scenarios that are played through by two to four crews each attempting to earn
credits for new and better crew and improved equipment. The link below contains
the crew creation sheet link and a short PDF about captains, mates and crew
positions.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><a href="https://ospreypublishing.com/gaming-resources-frostgrave#stargrave">https://ospreypublishing.com/gaming-resources-frostgrave#stargrave</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p>

Because of the nature of these models bronze is the dominant color. I could decide to change some of the weapon colors but not yet. The picture below is a sampling of models with their drybrush of Weapon Bronze.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirkUUXf_CPg-K7BPA2zXjQVv0P0FoG1SilIXHPoPTupEOAXaPXUNpArLLoBylwOvjm87GZlyxN0wuy-l00wFK1ylDtTY0ZSBzvhBVcsYXMP63BVdMAVQ-xtOTO8G0BqIUfwVt76CfYmKk/s1600/1618782045500472-1.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="310" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirkUUXf_CPg-K7BPA2zXjQVv0P0FoG1SilIXHPoPTupEOAXaPXUNpArLLoBylwOvjm87GZlyxN0wuy-l00wFK1ylDtTY0ZSBzvhBVcsYXMP63BVdMAVQ-xtOTO8G0BqIUfwVt76CfYmKk/w640-h310/1618782045500472-1.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Now to begin painting all the items that are not bronze. In progress is several item on each model painted in Golden High Flow Acrylic Raw Sienna. The image below has two of the models for which I completed this step, Now I just have to repeat for all the belts, skin (very little really), pouches, tools and other bits until they start to look less like statues and more like dwarves. Thinking about it now the next steps will probably be pants and shirts where they are visible. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXmJQqJmJGDRepDGxrwvvvp4UIJLy0Gg7CYAsoF3tAeliG-I0gz8P5EBWXsHa5hHitq57ADdeKM5qWdLDupeoZGAYPdBrxSh-7aahfCyXCaK3CtddAiNjoYCSaX21mrocJYw_PA8hASSc/s1600/1618782048882711-0.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="310" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXmJQqJmJGDRepDGxrwvvvp4UIJLy0Gg7CYAsoF3tAeliG-I0gz8P5EBWXsHa5hHitq57ADdeKM5qWdLDupeoZGAYPdBrxSh-7aahfCyXCaK3CtddAiNjoYCSaX21mrocJYw_PA8hASSc/w640-h310/1618782048882711-0.png" width="640" /></a></div>richdknwowshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06987399955771277055noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686346062475065819.post-10833738768364190092021-04-18T11:06:00.000-04:002021-04-18T11:06:23.989-04:00Step by Step painting my Dwarf SciFi/Steampunk Force<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I am going to show step by step my creation of a sci-fi/steam punk dwarf army.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;">The next step was to even out the zenethal highlighting using Golden High Flow Acrylic Tittinium White using a dry brush technique. Now the white on the top of each model is far smoother and the dark of the black is much more shadowy.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlk3TA-8jhbp4p1rQAvTKKxlMAnSwgfXFdaE7r8-armbO_IbMWbcmfMsUEZVEtTdtV9-K_k1VmHkwajDSaaOb2Ji0C82nhjnl1wMmGpn2m0rgpk9F0vUA_PhE6N0wWiNkQwjYrqU6WWTI/s1600/1618687645586334-1.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJe2FFyyJk1MuIxTSeHo_OnnSNa2IC3BOJ4vSWaaIY00qH9wVMcZfrEdGkTch93cqH9zMV6lYMomf1UCobt9eFR_Dao_XXWRMMi7oSOYRrH5mjznlKRkM5E7mZz1zhZvf88S1pRX6y6MQ/s1600/1618687696856591-0.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="310" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJe2FFyyJk1MuIxTSeHo_OnnSNa2IC3BOJ4vSWaaIY00qH9wVMcZfrEdGkTch93cqH9zMV6lYMomf1UCobt9eFR_Dao_XXWRMMi7oSOYRrH5mjznlKRkM5E7mZz1zhZvf88S1pRX6y6MQ/w640-h310/1618687696856591-0.png" width="640" /></a>The final part of the day's work was using Citadal Contrast paint Snakebite Leather to coat the models. tThe picture above shows two of the WA Einherjar models one with just the black and white and the other with the Snakebite Leather. The head on the model on the right game from the GW set. The next step will be to dry brush all of the metal parts with Weapon Bronze by Army Painter. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The overall goal here is to use mostly warm colors on the armor, weapons and clothing and then highlight the power areas with blue and/or green so that they really pop.</div>

A few weeks ago a friend of mine at work, Tony, approached me after a meeting. He said he had a box of D&D miniatures and wanted to know if I would like them. He had heard around the office that I still played games and liked to paint miniatures. I told him of course I would take them. This the pictorial documentation of that haul.</div>

There it is. The haul of a lifetime in classic D&D figures. I am probably going to paint a few of them to see if "modern" techniques hold up on these classics. The ironic thing with these boxed sets is that when these we being produced I generally bought smaller packs and single figures. Getting them now is just amazing.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have never played Warhammer 40k. The cost in money and time of building an army was too high for me especially when none of my gamer circle was going to build an army to play against. Well, now there has been a slight shift in my view of 40k based on the introduction by Games Workshop of the Warhammer 40k Killteam boxed set.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The idea of Killteam (KT) is that you build a 200 point force for smaller tactical engagements. So far, the forces I have seen built for KT range from 4 to 40 models. The boxed set comes with enough Space Marines for 200 points and enough Tau for about 140 points. Also included are painting guides, a KT rulebook and mini version of the full 40k rulebook as KT uses most of the combat mechanics of 40k and all of the point values. My buddy and I each picked up a set for fifty bucks and I gave him the Tau and he game me the Space Marines.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The first thing I did before assembling the models is research how to get my Marines to as close to 200 points as possible. A few days and spreadsheet later I was able to build two squads, each with a veteran sergeant, one with a special weapon, one with a heavy weapon and each sergeant with a combi-weapon.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then I built the squads and started painting them. Since I had very little knowledge of the chapters or codices I decided to paint them in Cthulhu themed colors. Below is the work in progress picture of the main sergeant.</div>

These are the latest miniatures I have finished painting. The first two are from the Dungeon Saga core set. The final one is a rare (these days) metal Reaper miniature.</div>

The first is the evil Necromancer from Dungeon Saga. His pose is caught in the act of raising a skeleton to bring down the party.</div>

<span style="color: #383838; font-family: "gotham" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.57143em; text-align: left;">I am going to start with a huge positive. The content of the show may have been the best I have ever seen. The vendor area was completely full plus the main game area had another six of so vendors with items for sale and large demo areas. Wizards of the Coast had a huge Dungeons and Dragons area, Wizkids had a huge area with multiple tournaments and there was a massive Yuh Gi Oh tournament as well. There was a kids area with Pokemon, board games and video game areas, Artemis bridge simulators, and a screening room for geeky movies (The Gamers et al). Also kudos to GAMA for making the Origins Awards a public event. Clearly GAMA has put all their effort into making the post registration experience as full as possible.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #383838; font-family: gotham, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.57143em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">

Now the bad. Registration! Everything I have ever said about it before and more. Much more.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #383838; font-family: gotham, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.57143em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">

Please fix it. We, the gamers, have asked you before to fix it and you tell us it'll be better next year. But it never is. The long lines for on site registration were unbelievable this year. Does GAMA understand that it takes less time to renew your license plates or renew your driver's license in Ohio? This is something that is equivalent of buying a ticket to a movie or the zoo both of which would go out of business if they operated like this. </div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #383838; font-family: gotham, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.57143em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">

Windows updates happen every Tuesday night. Always. If your PCs are off then they WILL happen Wednesday morning. If you want to avoid these you can turn them off. You could also make sure to apply them before opening so that your line does not halt while you reboot every PC. Really, that is the most bush league move you have ever pulled.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #383838; font-family: gotham, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.57143em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">

Perhaps running out of coupon books on Wednesday qualifies are more pathetic than Windows updates. Really, how many years has Origins had a coupon book? I don't remember them ever running out of them before but running out on Wednesday. I was lucky enough to get one of the reprints on Saturday, late morning when the registration line was crazy long (two hours I am told).</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #383838; font-family: gotham, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.57143em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">

Along with these were the long, crazy lines. People arrived early Wednesday thinking they'd avoid the lines to be greeted with lines in excess of two hours in some cases. Then it was so much much on Thursday. Friday seemed more manageable but Saturday at 10 AM was a zoo. Lots of unhappy people from the start.</div>

So, how do we fix it you ask? I think there are many simple fixes that could be implemented that would actually help people get into the show faster.</div>

1> Print and mail DM and Early Bird Registration badges. Ok, GAMA don't tell me how this won't work. GenCon has done it for years. It will work and it will help to ensure DMs are able to get their games on time, which, in turn allows people to enjoy the show. Use volunteers who can earn free badges and Origins swag.</div>

2> An on-site registration line for badges only. Walk up, pay, print then enjoy the show.</div>

3> Don't ask for as much information and don't make the registrant write it in line so you can copy into the computer. Just ask them and type it in. That was everyone gets to ...wait for it...enjoy the show sooner. Name and email address is more than enough in most cases (especially 2 above). </div>

6> Monitors or something that show the next three hours or so of events and if there are slots open. This has been something Origins has needed for years. Many times the DMs are not even told how many people signed up for their event. You could have two monitors side by side one for events that are full and one for events that have slots open. This will certainly help many people enjoy the show.</div>

This year was, for me, a down year for the large board game and big RPG release. My friends enjoyed the demo of Star Trek:Panic but sadly the was not available at the show (but is in stores). Subsequently, I bought fewer items than in years past. I finally broke down and bought a <em style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.57143em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Wyrmwood Dice Tower, tray and dice vault</em> and that was my big purchase this year. I also bought <em style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.57143em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Cthulhu Realms(card game)</em>, <em style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.57143em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Epic Spell Wars</em>, <em style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.57143em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Flapjacks and Sasquatches</em> and a second copy of<em style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.57143em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> Roll For It</em>. Additionally, I was given a copy of <em style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.57143em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Lake Billy</em> and played the spin and win game at R and R games and won a copy of <em style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.57143em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Spectaculum.</em> As far as RPGs go I bought the <em style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.57143em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Ultimate Grimtooth's Traps Collection</em> and the two supplements the the R<em style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.57143em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">emnants RPG Broken Lands I and II.</em> Lastly, I bought a stack of<em style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.57143em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> Planets and Moons Map System</em> tiles from a Place to Play toys.</div>

Circa 1979. This a partial selection of the dice I bought to replace the original polyhedral dice that I owned. They are made of a better grade of plastic but there are still no D10s and the D20s are numbered 0-9 twice. I purchased no D6s for these sets because by this point I had raided all the other games I had for normal D6s. </div>

I always tried to paint the numbers using a toothpick and some enamel. Sometimes my results were less than great. I also tried to paint the twenty a different color than the rest of the numbers over 10 (hence the red zero). The first D20s that designated the difference in sides had a simple plus sign on half the sides. </div>

I like to listen to the podcast Fear the Boot (FTB). I have never met any of them but I feel like I know them all. Last week they dropped a show about an older version of Dungeons and Dragons Basic set purchased a garage sale (episode 402 <a data-mce-href="http://www.feartheboot.com/ftb/index.php/archives/4575" href="http://www.feartheboot.com/ftb/index.php/archives/4575" style="border: 0px; color: #047ac6; cursor: pointer; line-height: 1.57143em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">http://www.feartheboot.com/ftb/index.php/archives/4575</a>). The show was very funny as a group of thirty something year old gamers performed an anthropological study of this rare find. The discussion about the "caller" was worth the time all by itself. </div>

One item they focused on were the primitive dice (1983?). These were an off yellow and required using a crayon to mark them. FTB posted pictures of them and the rest of the find in their show notes. In the spirit of this discovery of the history of role-playing I am posting pictures of my first set of dice. </div>

My first set of dice circa 1977. Notice the lack of a fully numbered 20 sided and no 10 sided die at all.</div>

Also percentile dice. Also functioning as D10s. The numbers 11 to 20 are inked in red. Alternately, a D6 could be thrown with the D20. On a 1 to 3, don't add 10 and on a 4 to 6 add 10. In those groups a natural twenty became a SIX-OH!</div>

<div>
<span>This time I am going to reveal some fun web series on youtube. These are mostly gaming related but some of these channels are just for fun.</span></div>
<div>
<span><br clear="none" /></span></div>
<div>
<span>The DM's Craft, DM Scotty</span></div>
<div>
<span>He specializes in DnD terrain using the 2.5D method of construction. His finished pieces look cool and add a lot to the table when playing games with miniatures. The early videos are in the 20 minute range but his later videos are much shorter because he does not explain the same techniques he used in earlier installments.</span></div>
<div>
<span><br clear="none" /></span></div>
<div>
<span>Tabletop Minions, Atom Smasher</span></div>
<div>
<span>Generally a short ten minute show about miniatures, painting, games and introducing new people to the hobby. He does rant occasionally but they are very sedate compared to other gaming related sites. He rants in one video about how Games Workshop must not like money because they refuse to sell certain gateway games like Space Hulk even though there seems to be huge demand.</span></div>
<div>
<span><br clear="none" /></span></div>
<div>
<span>Miniature Mash Up, Dave O'Garra</span></div>
<div>
<span>Dave takes all kinds of toys and miniatures and mashes them together to make monsters, terrain and other gaming set pieces....all on the cheap. Your will probably have mixed reactions to his videos as a whole. In one he will construct a really cool altar and in the next a cheesy looking chimera. Always entertaining and chock full of good ideas.</span></div>
<div>
<span><br clear="none" /></span></div>
<div>
<span>kumelyun, Andrew Babb</span></div>
<div>
<span>Flash animations converted to video of Knights of the Dinner Table stories. Once upon a time this guy had a website where he displayed his latest Flash creation every week or so. Then, one day, he received a cease and desist letter from the folks that own Knights of the Dinner Table asking him not to make any more videos. He kept his promise as these are the videos he created before that letter.</span></div>
<div>
<span><br clear="none" /></span></div>
<div>
<span>Watch It Played, Rodney Smith</span></div>
<div>
<span>Great series of videos of Rodney and his kids playing all manner of board games. Are you wondering how to play the newest game craze? Do you want to get a look at how something plays and what components are included and look like? This is the channel for you. Rodney also produced a quick start video for Mice and Mystic that gives you the essentials to play without reading the rules.</span></div>
<div>
<span><br clear="none" /></span></div>
<div>
<span>Geek and Sundry, Felicia Day et al</span></div>
<div>
<span>Felica and Will Wheaton started this channel a few years ago. In Tabletop Will plays boardgames with nerdy celebrities. In Cooptitude Felicia plays old console games with her brother. All of the videos are well produced and all are entertaining. There are also some how to pimp your board game videos and painting tutorials.</span></div>
<div>
<span><br clear="none" /></span></div>
<div>
<span>Zombie Orpheus Entertainment</span></div>
<div>
<span>The Gamers, Humans and Households and Journeyquest. Based off Dead Gentlemen Productions this channel has the full movies for the Gamers series plus tons of other sketch videos. This is also the home of the JourneyQuest web show. Any time I am having a rough day I switch to this channel.</span></div>
<div>
<span><br clear="none" /></span></div>
<div>
<span>Awkward Spaceship, ensemble</span></div>
<div>
<span>This is a channel filled with nerdy sketch videos. The best one is called "The Bake Sale" (yum sprinkles!). This group may not be as well know as ZOE but they have some really creative ideas.</span></div>
<div>
<span><br clear="none" /></span></div>
<div>
<span>WatchMojo, ensemble</span></div>
<br />
<div>
<span>Top 10 videos on usually nerdy topics. These videos are 7 to 10 minutes long and cover movies, TV and comics. Top 10 Spiderman villains anyone?</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have become obsessed with Frostgrave. FG is a skirmish wargame produced by long time book publisher Osprey. In the game your wizard explores the ruins on an ancient city with his warband looking for treasures. I have not played the game yet but I creating a warband anyway.</div>

<span style="text-align: left;">Not a lot to say except that Dungeon Saga is a great game and worthy of taking the time to paint the miniatures. I am still getting used to my new Twone Light Box so some of these are still not quite right. On the monsters and characters I am painting the front edge of the base white so that it is obvious during game sessions what direction the mini is facing. </span></div>
