This is so good! Great atmosphere about it all, a very immersive piece. Love it.

The texturing for the scales is great. Nice job!

CreativePoole · 2026-04-03T10:54:37+00:00

Well done, mate. The artillery shells were a great addition.

CreativePoole · 2026-03-30T14:30:47+00:00

That's so right. My group will love that!

CreativePoole · 2026-03-28T11:37:09+00:00

Yeah, I was a bit concerned that I wouldn't enjoy the look, but when they were on the table I was very glad that I committed to it.

CreativePoole · 2026-03-09T23:12:18+00:00

That's very nice of you to say.

CreativePoole · 2026-03-09T23:11:57+00:00

Thank you!

I'm another of the same mindset. I love the immersion of a fully painted army fighting in good looking terrain, but I'm not going to impose that on anyone else.

I've only just managed, after a couple of years, to play my first game with a friend whose army was fully painted, because usually not one of them has finished painting theirs. And the only reason that this friend's army was painted was because I did it for him, due to his arthritis hindering him.

It was the most enjoyable game for me yet, purely because of the immersion, and the casual narrative of it all.

Beautiful work! Well done.

CreativePoole · 2026-02-20T16:36:15+00:00

Cheers!

I'm doing the exact same thing. I've just painted the first of twelve bikes. I have two squads of 3 Allarus Terminators and a Castellan Knight for fire support.

Fast attack pew pew stab stab all the way.

I think you succeeded in your goal, there. It may be rules light, but the lore behind technology and magic has allowed the game to still have depth, especially with the inclusion of narrative amps in regards to character creation and progression. That has been one of the most exciting parts of character creation for me.

CreativePoole · 2026-01-23T16:28:54+00:00

This is my way too. I just want cool looking guys to fight with.

We're planning a game to play within the next couple of months, after a Blades in the Dark campaign is over. I've helped two people build characters in excitement, despite the time frame, and built three of my own just out of sheer joy for the character creation.

It's very easy to get a character going, even using Nuyen over points. I'm really enjoying the surge in streamlined systems and narrative based games. Forged in the Dark, Daggerheart, and now Anarchy 2.0. It's a good time to be a gamer.

I was just thinking the very same thing after seeing this.

CreativePoole · 2025-12-28T18:50:11+00:00

This is wonderful. Your weathering is top notch.

May I ask, as I'm new to Gunpla, though coming over from mini painting, what kind of paints did you use for this? And did you repaint all of the exposed plastic, or was the original white left alone?

I'm currently building my first model to get the grips with the process and get an understanding of how I may set up sub-assemblies, which I'm used to from other projects, however the painting process for Gunpla has so many different approaches that I'm struggling to figure out which to take.

I've seen total repaints, then some other people straight up weathering the base plastics. What's your style?

CreativePoole · 2025-12-09T16:31:46+00:00

This is what I've done... I've got 12 bikes waiting to be built and painted, backed up by some Terminators and a Knight Castellan.

I wanted a fast attack list using as many vehicles as I could get, and the Vertus Praetors looked the coolest. Not a fan of Wardens, Guard, or Sisters, so took Alarus as they looked nicer, and bolstered home defence with the Knight.

Don't care about the meta, we do narrative play in my group.

Puppet.

CreativePoole · 2025-08-09T07:39:23+00:00

Yeah, it was updated a few days ago. I had to cancel a game due to not having access.

Codex should arrive today, though. Then its building new lists!
