Do you have a setting already in mind? If not, how about on a beach or desert area. Have the pulse rifles (instead of leaning against a rock) stick into the sand in a circle around the two fighters as an "arena"

As for the fighters, I think fists would be better than bonding knives. They are used for ceremonial purposes, not combat. They could use Ork clubs as weapons, although the choppas might be a bit too big. They could use the hatch from the Devilfish (were the guy with binoculars is) as a "shield".

How about one fairly mischievious one in the back tagging someones Crisis Suit, maybe a drawing of Shadowsun?

Okay guys I got 50% of it done. Still need to make the bar tender drones and the rock wall in the back when I get home I will post pics tonight! I am taking all ideas I read and fitting them in some how... I would love if you guys would write a funny story about this shin dig when it's all done giving each model a name and stuff hehe!

Im really interested in the process you use to create the actual board itself. If you could get some WIP shots of that, Id really appreciate the pointers on working with foam

As to the story, Perhaps you could set the overall scene and then assign a certain part of the diorama to different members to write about? For example, you could assign someone to create the characters and write a short piece about the puking shas and his buddy holding him up while you assign someone else to write about the squig roast for example.

Itd be like a community event with everyone contributing a piece to your framework

I have some HW to do right now, but I will post the pics from today in about an hour. I'm thinking of hitting up an art store tomorrow to find a pictrure fram to buy and using it as the base. For all the rocks and water that I make from foam I will do step by steps. I like your idea Shadow... once it is done I would love to have people make up names and bios for all the interesting Shas and if people on here love to write I would love to get some stories! Hey guys if my girlfriend falls asleep early I should have most everything done tonight minus the base so shhhhh!

Here is what I got done today guys...pics are taken with an Iphone but better T3 pics soon. This is just a mock up...I will most likely be using a large art frame so everything will be spaced out more. This little after battle patry is going down durring the night...I plan to have some trees and a large rock wall. I will have about 6 more inches all the way around from the type of frame I want so keep the ideas coming nothing is set in stone yet!


In the center of them is going to be the KillaKan with other Ork stuff burning.


Two FWs are doing combatives (these two Shas'la are always trying to show each other up)


This guy can't hold down in booze


Head of the toast!


A power dock to charge up the backpacks fast... it uses the power inverter from the Fish incase they need to head out in a hurry.


Well more pics to come tomorrow. I still have to make a "Drink" drone...the KillaKan.. and the PathFinders. Should be fun! I was wondering Tau treat their enemies with respect for the most part and don't show off their kills correct? What about FarSight's cadre? Do they hate Orks enough to hang skulls and things like that?

Have you tried snipping of the nades on the warrior hand? I've done it before, and it looks good

You could have a couple FW sitting around the killakan/fire chatting.

I'm not so sure about having spikes with skulls, but having a dead Ork here and there would make it look more like a victorious celebration

I don't think they would hang skulls, but they might take SOME trophies, like they might take some of the fetishes orks like to adorn themselves with.

Getting the rock wall done tonight (no paint) I will do a step by step. Still need to make some trees... I kinda want the scene to be under a canopy hrmmmmmm any thoughts?

Dibs on the kung-fu shas!

Just thought of this. Have a FW, or heck even a drone, painting a Killakan kill mark on the side of the Devilfish.

I Like that! I will put some hash marks on my fish and I need some painting the back rock wall as well.

I really think that you should have a half melted killa-can with it being your fire pit, that way the fire warriors have something to dance around.

You could have FW showing off battle scars/wounds to each other and bragging.

Loving the whole thing so far and this DEFINITELY needs a story to go with it.

Okay guys -sigh- got bogged down with you know... That real life stuff? Stupid life... So here is the thing. Some one should write a mini story about this and I will read it and try to make it come to life (Need new ideas!!!!)! will read any and all stories and put a small bit in (even if that mean getting another box of FWs) Tonight...I shall make the rock wall and maybe even paint it.

Full blown modelling indeed, moved your project into the appropriate section - looking forward to more!

Feel your pain on the RL issues - been two months of non-stop work tying up my spare time.

Awaiting an update when you can,
Tael.

Well I feel bad... I let my fellow Shas down. So... for the last few days I have had time for WarHammer... and when I should have been working on my FarSight party... I did this... please don't yell at me or reduce me to a Saal!

Okay guys, I have been slacking big time But for the greater good! I got 80% of my girlfriend's Daemons painted and... I have a baby Shas'la on the way! Not sure if it's a boy or a girl yet. Tonight I WILL have my rock wall made for the path finder team!

Congratulations on the good news lone strike! You must be very excited.

I was going to post and see how your progress was coming but I can see now that you have had much more important things on your mind


P.S I like what you've done with your girlfriend's daemon. It looks as if the colours on his skin are shifting and changing—suitably chaotic for a denizen of the warp

and.... My hot knife just broke 2 cuts in! Looks like I will have to pick up a new one -sigh- Thanks kat we are expecting April of next year. So when my child is playing 9th Ed Warhammer I can rant and rave about 2nd edition. My girl friend broke the news to me as I was painting a Helios team
