Thanks guys!
I've made a rather large and somewhat embarrassing purchase, which I am happy about, just still stunned how deep I am getting into all this. Anyway, more details to come.
In the meantime, I've been working on some other projekts. As usual WFB has a lot of competition.
Some more Yamato ships from their Mecha Collection. Some of them came with smaller ships.
This red ship has some history. I got it as a birthday gift when I was a little kid from my sister who overheard some of my friends say it was stupid, and her feelings were hurt and she told me about it later. I was head over heels for this stuff just as much back then as I am now, and assured her I loved it. Well, decades later I found another and bought it for old times sakes, and when I showed it to her, she had no memory of getting it the first time.
And this one has been one of my favorites from this series since I saw it. These kits are only about 4 inches or so long.
Along time ago I was buying up miniature games left and right. And usually they centered around a starter set (I rarely get into games without one), and some decently sized armies to tinker with. Well back in the day I got Void 1.1. There has been three very similar editions of the game, the first being the Blue Rulebook, the second being the Purple Rulebook, and the third being the Gamebox Edition. When Void first got started there weren't very many models and the story was crafted in such a way that one army could borrow units from another that would have filled a similar spot in that army.
Anyway, as the game got more popular, more resources were put into it and they eventually gave the same army book treatment GW gave 40k and WFB. Around the time the game started diving. Ironically when there were much more and diverse models than it started with.
But the armies were getting goofy. The Viridians started riding dinosaurs when though they were equipped with power armor and flew hovercrafts. The Junkers were like roman gladiators meets Madmax.
My heart is with the Purple Rulebook and the limited number of models, and I picked up all of the starter army sets they released at the time, plus or minus a few figs. Anyway, aside from basing them (giving them the Warmachine Base Treatment, and adding some texture to them, I literally have done nothing with them for almost 10 years. Well, I was re-organizing my stuff, bumped into the Gamebox Starter set, and decided to work on them a bit. Which means priming them lol. So below are the little armies I have which are all in the same point total.
The Viridians, who are your basic vanilla army or powered suit marines. In the fluff I believe all of the human armies were once part of Viridia before they broke off.
Junkers, who reign on a harsh desert world. Lots of Roman influence on these guys. And mostly armed with short range weapons. There is a character model who is known as an Enforcer who's job it is to shoot a soldier who's unit fails morale, putting them back in line.
Syntha - Basically your cyborgs. Models aren't the greatest, but they have some neat elements. The vehicle in the back is a hoverbike I haven't based yet.
VASA - who are some governing body who try to oversee and manage some kind of peace I believe, but don't hold me that, its been awhile since I read up on all this. They have a really small army because the ones with the staffs and weird backpacks are really expensive. They are basically like jump packs.
The last one are a Koraline (I think I got that right) - The only alien army in the game. The original version of these guys depicted snake-like aliens who would augment captured humans to use as various slave warriors. Once their army book went out they went from a sci-fi theme to one of absolute horror. Gross to the point I didn't want any of them.
But even still, the original ones are really strange too. Like these assault guys with the little legs!
Weird!
Anyway, more on my WFB in a bit. Going to be busy the next couple of weeks so prob wont have much to offer till Dec.
AND I KNOW YOU WANT TO SEE SOMETHING PAINTED AS OPPOSED TO PRIMED! I MOVE REALLY SLOW ON THAT. I guess I like assembling more than I do painting.
