The adventures of Serefina and Crue

[Daxio]

Cheers benvolio, thanks for the encouragement I try to make everything look a bit distressed and dark ( disguises my paining ability ) think it fits in with the underworld feel of Quest.
What I want to make are lots of little piles of bones or rubble or weapons that I can scatter about the objective or dungeon rooms, they're a bit flat at the moment.
Will take some pics when I get them done.





Basic Orcs, again a hotch potch!

[Daxio]

Hi here's a bit of an update, just finished Shamen's Den, bowls and knives etc all on separate sections so they can be added or taken away.

[Daxio]

And now with some of the larger monsters we use.


Ogres, from Reaper Bones.







Minotaurs, without flash this time... better photo perhaps?





Lots of window sill

[Daxio]

This time Reaper Trolls.







I am definitely a speed painter, have painted about 7 or 8, 5,000 pt Warhammer armies, over many years!
Think I will try to use natural light more often, it makes my models look not quite so glossy.

They have a nice dark feel to them, even in bright sunlight they look shadowy. Well done! The tiles look great too, the height differences work well.

Cheers twychdyn appreciate your comments, will keep using the darker tones, suits my style of painting.
Am going to make the room of skulls next then finally flames of kazalla, if that's how its spelled.
Then I've plans to create a set of 3 rooms of my own design, but that is for the future.

[Geoh]

Nice looking Trolls and Ogres. Might get some of those Reaper models for my set.

[Purplebeard]

The moody greys on the trolls and minotaurs have come off really well. I like the bases too.

[Daxio]

Some new rooms, all made from card, hardboard, stones, sand, greenstuff, acrylic, finished off with dark oak varnish.
Flames of Kazala, the hall of death and then one of my own design, stepping stones.

[benvoliothefirst]

I love your work! Tiles and monsters look great. I really like the way you've done the monsters' bases.

[Daemonslave]

Fab looking dungeon and monsters - they must be really fun to play with.

What's next? Any Objective Rooms?

[Daxio]

Thanks again for the comments fellas, really appreciate your comments.
Heres a larger room I've just finished, made it plain, can use it with a variety of bits added, can use it as a dungeon or objective room. Going to make a raised dias type area for the middle in end and a fire pit, to get as much out of it as can.





Me and my wife play every couple of weeks, for last 6 months have had full set of 3D boards and it renewed our enjoyment of game- definitely.
Will be posting an adventure when I can get myself organised

[Daxio]

A few more bits of furniture and a corridor 3 squares wide.









I'm trying to use larger rooms or corridors so that I can trial an idea I had for monster placement and it works easier with larger rooms. Will post results when I've had a go.

[Daxio]

Well I hope this works, my attempt at a Quest video report, of sorts.
Be kind.

Very nicely done and nice quest background to go with the word text script was a nice touch.

It's a cool idea and thank you for posting I planned to try my hand at something similar for Space Hulk.
Couple comments;
1) I think it would be cooler to narrate the text rather then need to read it - I think this is an easy change that would make the report much better (value for time spent)
2) Really cool would be the odd bit of stop motion for cinematic effect - like maybe just for the final battle (google stop motion space hulk to get an idea what I mean) - obviously this would be very time consuming but I think it would be really neat for a special "game highlight" - but a bit less value for time spent (probably spend a minute per second filmed)

[Daxio]

Thanks for your comments and ideas,
was gonna narrate the film, but had cold for last 3 months and didn't want to wait any longer to put it online- also I hate my voice when recorded, sound like an east end thug
will experiment with recording techniques and see how goes.
Love the idea of doing some stop motion animation, but as you say time could be an issue. I have seen the space hulk film you mention, it is very good.
Will certainly have a play with animation, see how it goes.
Thanks again.

[natsirtm]

Yeah I think many people feel the same way about their voices being recorded. A bit easier for me since I was thinking there must be an app to add static/robotic qualities to recorded voice that would work well for Space Hulk.
At least have a go - I found the text a bit difficult to read and all I really wanted to look at was the photos - so narration even if you don't like the sound of it would still add value IMO. Check out this quick little animated gif I did from an old blood bowl game. http://nafcanada.ca/wp-content/uploa...spazzpwned.gif

[Daxio]

Ta for ideas,
disguise my voice, that could be done,
And I liked the animation, looks good.
I understand what you mean about reading and trying to follow the pictures, will have to bite the bullet and record my lovely tones!!!!

[natsirtm]

quick google suggests vox screaming bee has a free app
