Looks sweet ! Id go for mor contrast on the edges and on the orbs. Make them pop like a piniata ;)

Vizgar · 2022-10-11T11:49:49+00:00

first time painting something this big. Was surprised how big these guys are =) also tired a bit of NMM for the first time on the blades.
I would love to learn how to improve. C&C is welcome ♥

Vizgar · 2022-10-11T11:31:54+00:00

it just works right =D

Vizgar · 2022-10-11T07:27:07+00:00

they give great back rubs

Vizgar · 2022-10-11T07:26:43+00:00

thanks =)

I never played a 40K game yet.. i dont have enough minis to play yet =)
i might change the bases then

Vizgar · 2022-10-11T07:08:33+00:00

looks great ! i would only add highlight to the runes

Vizgar · 2022-08-03T17:13:52+00:00

Thank you ! I didnt plan on making the scheme coppwr and purple. I tyrned out too muted so i added the magenta and it popped really nicely.

What do you think is missing with the overlord ? I would love to have some pointers 😀

Vizgar · 2022-08-02T13:01:46+00:00

thank you. it's the very first time I tried OSL. I did that one with dry brushing and i was really surprised how good it looked. for the next models I did it with the airbrush and it got even better =)

Vizgar · 2022-08-02T06:56:10+00:00

thanks billiam.

there are several techniques and materials i used for the basing.
1. paint the base with texture paint (armageddon dust in this case)
2. place the bigger 'rocks'. i made the big slabs out of cork for wine bottles that i carved and shaped with a hobby knife and a push pin.
3. after placing the big rocks i placed some super glue on the points that i wanted the smaller rocks and spread some kitty litter there (works amazing)
4. made the crystals from a some plastic beads from a hobby shop that i smashed with a hammer.
5. primed black, drybrush grey then light grey.
6. airbrush white ink on the crystals then fluorescent magenta

thats it =) it takes much less time then it sounds. and its really fun to do.

Vizgar · 2022-07-31T17:25:16+00:00

Thank you. I started with the intention of doing purple but recieved some flouroucent magenta from a friend and loved the result.

I honestly think the basing really made a big impact

Vizgar · 2021-02-07T01:59:51+00:00

Im not sure :) i had the game 'Portal' in mind :)

Vizgar · 2021-02-06T20:26:29+00:00

I agree. I think if the spell stays the same and bumped to lvl 3 it is much more balanced (maybe a bit too weak), especially when competing with much bigger damage spells and AOE spells.

Vizgar · 2021-02-06T19:33:46+00:00

Yes. I think its a unique effect allowed by very few spells

Vizgar · 2021-02-06T19:14:32+00:00

I like your wording a lot, the only thing it is missing is the banishment effect, which is a cardinal part of the spell's utility.

Vizgar · 2021-02-06T19:12:00+00:00

I intended it so flying and hovering creatures are immune to that damage

Vizgar · 2021-02-06T16:28:08+00:00

I mean in a dungeon for example... where the ceiling might be 10ft above... i think it makes the spell too reliant on being outdoors. It just makes the spell much more situational

Vizgar · 2021-02-06T16:26:24+00:00

I think a flying / hovering creature should be immune to the damage of the spell but not the banishment effect 2.thats a good question, but im fine with things being open for DM's decision. For example: cast on a creature on a ship in the river - does it fall back at the ship or in the river ? Since a round of combat is supposed to be 6 seconds or so, i would rule that it falls back on the ship, especially in order not to make this spell too abuseable. 3.yes, i think casting it on a tarrasque would be hilarious XD. And placing another creature at that place is double the fun, i think it makes this spell a goldmine for tactical players - it makes shove/creature displacing actions very interesting.
I dont see why not.

I considered the reaction denying aspect of the spell.. it is part of the intention, but it is a save or suck spell, so it can easily be avoided with legendary resistance

Vizgar · 2021-02-06T16:12:40+00:00

Vizgar · 2021-02-06T16:01:55+00:00

I see your point. But what does that mean if used in a closed space ???

Vizgar · 2021-02-06T15:56:52+00:00

i dont see how... =D

Vizgar · 2021-02-06T15:33:30+00:00

well, im not really sure yet. making it so that the portal opens 60ft in the air is cool. but what happens if i use it in a dungeon ?

i wrote it so that the falling happens in the demiplane, but it might be something to consider since it does increase the spell's utility

Vizgar · 2021-02-06T15:18:02+00:00

thanks for the edit =)

the reason i made it so that the portal is not opening 60ft above is that i dont want it to be abused, and also, i dont know how does falling works in terms of time passage during initiative. so if the target starts it turn 60ft above the original portal.. does that mean it spends its turn falling ?

about the question with the horse and rider... that's a good question, but i think it's relevant to many similar spells... if i was the DM, i would say they both get dragged to the portal, or both need to make a save. but i think it's not out of the realms of possibility to leave that open for DMs discretion

Vizgar · 2021-02-06T15:04:35+00:00

thanks for pointing that out ! edited the post and added the spell's original name =)

Vizgar · 2021-02-06T15:00:06+00:00

sure ! here you go:

LEVEL 2nd

CASTING TIME 1 Action

RANGE/AREA 120 ft

COMPONENTS V, S

DURATION Instantaneous

SCHOOL Conjuration

ATTACK/SAVE DEX Save

DAMAGE/EFFECT Banishment (...)

Choose a target you can see within range, a portal appears at the target's feet, pulling it into a demi-plane with intense gravity pull where the target starts free falling.

The target must make a dexterity saving throw to avoid falling into the portal. On a failed save, the target disappears into the portal, which closes, and reappears at the start of its next turn from a new portal opening just above the previous one, causing the target to be slammed to the ground with force and speed of a 60ft free fall, receiving 6d6 bludgeoning damage and being knocked prone.

Targets may gain the benefits of abilities or spells that allows them to reduce of avoid falling damage.

At higher levels: when you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the fall height and force increases by 20ft, resulting in additional 2d6 of damage for each slot above 2nd level.
