Ramblings of a Madman

Update 5: Mechanicum Assassin of the Ordo Hypotheosis

Vaio M-645 of the Ordo Hypotheosis Current Location: --Redacted-- Current Primary Objective: --Redacted-- Current Secondary Objective: --Redacted-- Most Recent Contact: --Redacted-- Current Vitals: Nominal How it was made: Below I found a bunch of clips from various GW images showing the different models used to make the assassin (in case you are interested in making your own). Can you guess the models without a google search?

WIP Week: Promethium Reactorum XIII

CUTTING PLASTIC! I promised in an earlier post that I would share my trick for cutting plastic terrain parts. This is especially important for complex connections between board layouts. For the Promethium Reactorum, I had several complicated connections and I wanted to make them fit like puzzle pieces, or at least as close to this ideal as possible. It starts with a simple part like the one above. I used this extra part as an example, and so I wasn't especially careful, but the process is exactly as described below. The most important tool you will need is a reciprocating handheld saw like the Milwaukee Hackzall. The blade I use is very short (2.5") and can be used for anything from wood to metal (I've even used it for cutting the copper pipe for the Reactorum table). The second key ingredient is a stack of several layers of foam insulation board. In this picture I was using the slightly more expensive 'hobby board', but the cheaper stuff als...

Promethium Reactorum (3 Year Project!) To Done!

Forge World Display Team, Here I come! If you've followed my blog over the past 3 years, you may have seen some work in progress pictures of my 12' x 4' cyclical Warhammer 30K/40K battlefield. To complete this project, I have had to learn how to cast, build, airbrush, cut citadel plastic, make large scale washes, and more. Well, I am excited to tell you that over the next several posts (including today) I will be highlighting the COMPLETED project! Today, let's start with an aerial view showing the 6 tiles, each of which is 2' x 4' in dimension. The board - which totals 48 square feet - can be arranged in six configurations since every tile connects seamlessly to the next tile. By taking the last tile as the first, they can be easily arranged with different features at different points of the battlefield. I think these aerial photos turned out beautifully, and really show how the table components work together. Just to show a different configuration, I can ta...

Hero Quest Finally Arrives!

For many of us, Hero Quest was the beginning of our hobby addiction. After many, many years, Hasbro and Avalon Hill Games has finally released an updated version of the classic. I just got my hands on my new copy, and I'm really impressed! The Dragon and gargoyle (the original Bloodthirster!) are very impressive models. The plastic is kind of soft, but seems to be very durable. I'm not sure how it will take paint, but I suspect it will be quite fine. The game and all the extras arrive assembled and in special packaging. I actually was very happy to not have to assemble the models. I can get right to painting. Lots of new female characters that weren't in the original. The models and character cards look fantastic. I'm again very impressed with the production value. The best part of all! I think the furniture holds a special spot in the heart of anyone who remembers the original, and the new upgraded furniture really improves on it. The original had plastic ...

WIP Week: Promethium Reactorum XII

STC 1: Imperial standard ferrocrete barriers for long term structural applications. The wastelands just outside the Reactorum are framed with standard template construct imperial walls. They frame both edges of the wasteland area, and mark the imperial influence on the isolated mechanicum site. So far, only some color has been added, but before I show more pictures of that, I wanted to describe the fabrication process. I started by going to the local library and 3D printing a very simple wall section designed on a free CAD (FreeCAD) program online. As with many cheap 3D prints, the part showed the layered lines form the plastic extrusion process. The part, in grey, was first sanded to flat surfaces all around to remove some of the extrusion texture. I then cast a silicon mold using an old spray paint cap. This process is pretty easy: glue the part down to the inside of the paint lid, then pour the silicone liquid over it, wait to dry and finally cut the lid off the mold. V...
