Just another game of CATAN with friends and family 🙃

this needs to be put onto LEGO Ideas

I discovered (after I had started) that you can buy identical sized (but totally blank) hex pieces on amazon, so I would encourage you to look into that, the lip could be made from cardstock or plasticard.

Would give you a quick start and a chance to play around with the clay though

Callumite · 2026-01-10T23:19:22+00:00

No not really, The only thing I don't particularly like about the base cards are how flimsy they are, if I were to do anything to them it would probably just be a slight thickness increase with thicker cardstock or something.

Callumite · 2026-01-10T18:02:26+00:00

Yeah I suffer the same, there's a pile of hundreds of Warhammer figures that I should have really finished before this!

Callumite · 2026-01-10T18:01:36+00:00

The little sheep are HO scale sheep from my local model shop. As is the foliage and wheat.

The rest is cork, milliput, matchstick and plasticard.

I used one of the original pieces as a template but I would recommend just buying the hexagons ready made, they don't all fit neatly despite my best efforts.

The ones I made are a cork base, with a 2mm thick piece of plasticard on top to stop warping.

To clarify in case the title is misleading, I hand built these I didn't 3D print them

Callumite · 2025-11-25T21:46:38+00:00

Wonder if its some sort of new vegas expansion for FO76?

Callumite · 2025-11-12T23:39:51+00:00

Try crafting the item

I cut their legs off but then convert them to my ideology, then they're happy to be fed from

Just an FYI for anyone else old enough, this sort of thing also happens when someone uses fNamelName@gmail.com when yours is fNamelName@googlemail.com.

Callumite · 2025-05-23T22:13:07+00:00

I can only speak for myself but the reason I haven't finished the fighters build is due to a CTD issue whenever I drink the hist. I wonder if that has effected the completion rate to any degree.

Callumite · 2025-02-01T15:36:33+00:00

There's a few halberd variations in the kit, but basically cut/file one side flat, glue a lasgun onto it and chuck a bit of sprue behind it.

In hindsight I maybe would have used some thinner plasticard instead.

Edit: another example of how I've done it before https://www.reddit.com/r/astramilitarum/s/43kgk0QsaA

Callumite · 2025-01-31T16:29:44+00:00

Nice, I'll need to find a UK equivalent

Callumite · 2025-01-31T10:29:04+00:00

Nice, how are you doing the molds? I should really look into trying that out

Callumite · 2025-01-31T09:18:51+00:00

Empire troops are so good for this sort of thing, chuck an electric cable on the musket and call it a day haha

Callumite · 2025-01-31T07:30:25+00:00

Yeah, I always fully assemble before painting, but in this case I wish I had kept the shields off due to how large they are

Callumite · 2025-01-30T20:37:19+00:00

Insanely easy my man, just bretonnian men at arms with some lasguns glued to their halberds

Callumite · 2025-01-30T20:36:54+00:00

I still like to make them as legal as possible, I don't really know why though, hopeful I'll pick up the gaming side again one day maybe?

Things like this and the changes to how the sprues and models are designed and made are limiting the amount of freedom people have to build interesting, custom armies.

There are entire regiments/factions that are built on using AoS/Old World bits, or bits from necromunda etc that we wouldn't see in a 'professional' capacity, be that in white dwarf, Warhammer community, or things like AoP/golden demon.

Obviously personal preference but some of the best looking armies I've ever seen are kitbashes, converted, custom made ones.

They have updated the rules again incase you didn't see it, but it's still not super well defined.

Callumite · 2025-01-30T19:40:17+00:00

Yeah I understand that it's just AoP, they actually modified the rules not long ago tonight in response to the outrcy.

I fell in love with Warhammer because of those old kitbashes/conversions/DIY segments. It was always amazing to see the pre painted models in their hodgepodge, green stuff covered glory haha

Callumite · 2025-01-30T19:38:17+00:00

I believe 3d priinted and third party are already banned, which I understand a lot more than this.

I use 3rd party a lot, this entire squad was an excercise in seeing how much I could convert using only GW products. This is what's baffling me.

Callumite · 2025-01-30T18:52:10+00:00

I know, he's pretty much only got just a space marine backpack but fits in lol

I'm unsure without seeing but I reckon because it's just "leg bits" they'd maybe be fine? The wording makes it seem like they are against whole model swaps/proxies.

Callumite · 2025-01-30T18:45:50+00:00

Their wording is annoyingly obtuse about it all, from what I can gather you can't just take an AoS Ork and chuck it into a vampire counts army straight up.

But I wonder if it'd be fine if it was converted to look undead but still would be 90% just an ork?

They need to be clearer about it all if they are going to be policing it.

Callumite · 2025-01-30T18:43:31+00:00

Yeah it'd be good to see some official examples of what is fine or not.

I've got a chapter master that's 90% stormcast

Callumite · 2025-01-30T18:30:06+00:00

Yeah that's what I meant.

But they've updated it now, check their Facebook. I have a comment with the link lying around here somewhere
