From ChrisW Dystopian Wars and 28mm VSF 704 points


So visiting two new planets today, but as we leave our last planet we get a quick look at the personal guards of the Princess of Mars.




The journey this week will take us to Perelandra and via Sarah's Yacht onto Arrakis. 


Perelandra

Here you can see the newly arrived landing barges and the recently repainted ones that I have had for a while. The trick was to try and match the paint jobs. Oddly enough I wrote down what I had used, a rare thing and very strange thing to do since at the time I painted them I had no expectation of ever getting any more. Anyhow, it worked out, more or less, but the decks of the smaller barges did not come out as light, I must have used a different wash!


So 1 large and 3 smaller to be done today

 

 

 and all of them together

Keeping with the water planet theme I also whipped up these Dystopian Wars islands, and fortress.

A size photo before painting


Yet another island, also could be used as an industrial complex. As well as painting up the 4 vacuformed islands I also painted up 22 drop on building, only 20 required but I wanted some variety.




As far as size goes, they would fit into an 18" x 18" box, with the 4th island resting on top of the 3 curved islands;

17" left to right
Very low rise

About 3-4" tall



Keeping again with water theme, I also finished off Queen Victoria's Women's Naval Brigade troops




Onto Arrakis, using Sarah's yacht courtesy of the Martian guards. Please note the artillery piece was painted before the challenge as is only in the picture because it inspired the colour used on the jezail barrels, and because 3 crew were part of the painting done this week. 

A not so funny thing happened to the infantry on the way to the photo booth, they all came a tumbling down...!! When I finished scooping them up, I could only find 32 somewhat battered figures. Will continue to look, but felt this needed to get posted to the blog first. So apologies for come of the bare metal that can be seen on some of the bases.






The points

  • 40 points for the two planets
  • 20 points for Sarah's yacht
  • 70 points Women's Naval Guard [14 Hinterland miniatures] and or
  • 70 points Princess's Royal guards (Tekumel unit)
  • 180 points Sanwar 33  32 foot + 2 mtd [Ironclad miniatures] 
  • 180 points for the 4 islands [17" by 17"]
  • 20 points for the fortress
  • 80 points for the 4 landing barges
  • 40 drop on buildings (about 1" by 1" treating as 6mm vehicles)??

    • Grand total of 700 points

    That's 28 figures that could take me around the map a few times, but one planet hop will do. I am truly looking forward to relaxing in a nice luxury yacht.

    I am going to try and not do this madness next week, I hope to visit one planet, and keep the figure type to simple 28mm, easily scored items. Next week nothing weird sized or to strange (I hope)

     

    Yet another huge points bomb from Chris!  You seem to be diddling yourself out of a few points - you painted 22 drop on buildings!
