My Sa'Vasku collection was never very large, being restricted to a medium-sized raiding/interdiction fleet, so this gallery will be a less complete showcase for the range than the others with only five ship classes represented. You can find <a href="https://shop.groundzerogames.co.uk/full-thrust-starships/sa-vasku-sv-alien-bioships.html" target="_blank">the complete range here</a> at Ground Zero Games' web store and their official stats in <a href="https://downloads.groundzerogames.co.uk/FB2Full.pdf" target="_blank">Fleet Book 2</a>.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The figs were sculpted by Bob Naismith, and are fairly hard to come by these days thanks to the game's brief lifespan and limited production run. My own collection of them was never complete by a long shot and these were all sold off almost a decade ago, but posting what images I do have might help collectors get a better idea of what they looked like. You can find more complete (but unpainted) listings of the range at the <a href="http://www.miniatures-workshop.com/lostminiswiki/index.php?title=Trinity:_Battleground" target="_blank">Lost Minis wiki</a>.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>These figs are from the "Support Squad Dragon" pack, a set of five identical sculpts of close combat troops with armored cestuses. They were painted up for the <a href="http://www.four-colorstudios.com/supersystem.html" target="_blank">Supersystem</a> minis game, with the one guy being a "Legion-class psionic" who created and army of "prismatic energy" duplicates of himself to do the fighting for him. I lucked into rather a lot of these models in one big purchase when Alliance Distribution was liquidating the line following its cancellation.

text-align: center;">The new year in a few days will mark eleven years gone by since the now-defunct Ed Fortae as Troll Forged Games ran his <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/131182444/assimilation-alien-host/description" target="_blank">Assimilation Alien Host kickstarter</a>, a project that could safely be called ill-fated. Ed has long since left the industry following some health issues without managing total fulfillment, and <a href="https://impact-miniatures.myshopify.com/" target="_blank">Impact Miniatures</a> (one of my fellow backers who went in big on the project) stepped up and volunteered to try to finish it off, which still isn't entirely done. Looking at the most recent comments shipping costs seem to be the main sticking point, and it seems unlikely that these sculpts will ever be on sales at retail.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Now, I have no personal complaint about the project, but that's only because I was one relentlessly pushy SOB back when it started to show signs of having problems, and managed to not only pester my own pledge out of them, I bought another backer's pledge on the TFG market page and managed to get that too. People who weren't as demanding are still waiting and have been for over a decade. It's not something that has a good fix, but it does serve as an excellent cautionary tale when considering backing a crowdfunding project.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Anyway, in the interest of preserving some memory of Fortae's sculpting for posterity, I've done a <a href="https://brokenstarsburningships.blogspot.com/2019/04/assimilation-alien-host-gallery.html" target="_blank">full gallery page of the stuff I painted from the range</a> which covers about 80% of the minis that were promised, not all of which were finished and produced. I've still got a fair number of figs unfinished even after all this time, but I did do a few of them this years so I'm adding them to the record.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> These are the Alien Queen and the Queen's Guard sculpts, along with a couple of bases of Eggs.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS1WAwA82h1KTZ0WnVIX9cZQLGZRRG6RgCv7jxX-HgqOS7s90aSGxjPl0Gbtl5p21SMn8RsRZTHta1QWETN9G22PtaZMUfAlXfLvLNjL5XRn9H4ZS3m1rP1QCkVY4wQwHz3Thk9jdaGAeCMhidMNOiWoxFOSTLoLMI5hTmz-zaf9e0ELFhbe_Ge92H/s2272/101_9171.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1617" data-original-width="2272" height="285" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS1WAwA82h1KTZ0WnVIX9cZQLGZRRG6RgCv7jxX-HgqOS7s90aSGxjPl0Gbtl5p21SMn8RsRZTHta1QWETN9G22PtaZMUfAlXfLvLNjL5XRn9H4ZS3m1rP1QCkVY4wQwHz3Thk9jdaGAeCMhidMNOiWoxFOSTLoLMI5hTmz-zaf9e0ELFhbe_Ge92H/w400-h285/101_9171.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The Queen is a seven piece model - thorax, abdomen, head, two arms, two pairs of legs - and is one of my favorite sculpts in the whole range thanks to its truly creepy design.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiYCxAWf_Hl17MZIGiBsuvOKp2qJ_8o9ygaD3F5SQBgtLePAMo8zBsBW7mlvmKhGQ_w_o1WMYAFKI5bdmUQIomIRfWMLqRt8GlQTuk5lg0q75j4OeUcp1waVoxt75yeMSO22uSz2AxAyet2bYLIKoQR4AwjTHzAKjeps46oy49xbXRBrpM40mvOuhZ/s2162/101_9173.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1591" data-original-width="2162" height="294" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiYCxAWf_Hl17MZIGiBsuvOKp2qJ_8o9ygaD3F5SQBgtLePAMo8zBsBW7mlvmKhGQ_w_o1WMYAFKI5bdmUQIomIRfWMLqRt8GlQTuk5lg0q75j4OeUcp1waVoxt75yeMSO22uSz2AxAyet2bYLIKoQR4AwjTHzAKjeps46oy49xbXRBrpM40mvOuhZ/w400-h294/101_9173.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The Guards are five pieces - serpentine lower body, torso, head, two arms.

The dread is a relatively recent kit that came out around the same time as the killa kans, while the trukk is a bit older although not much so. They hold up well today, and the cross-kit parts compatibility between the kans and dreads really adds to their modularity. Both models have been modified a bit as usual - or should I say kustomized?</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here's a group shot with a killa kan for size comparison purpose.

This is pretty much counter to all the competitive advice on how to equip dreads in 9th edition, but they generally don't get used anyway owing to lousy internal balance in the current codex. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaOyqL6G_Rw8rKMDhw7GCz5B51zVL2K4VI53H-JKT4m3X4OrXzZVvytyQODjmxoZWHiH39BGkLlEb7_ZdZL0mlW1hDAgoPrBEoRIi9PK1v66TW6fTjlhSpTDb-o15eAO_Jr1b5OiwNS9sylV2ryGqoh9CIjvCIiiQ5jDNEdCpKtwZyg6bVEwif2sNr/s1871/101_9112.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1829" data-original-width="1871" height="391" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaOyqL6G_Rw8rKMDhw7GCz5B51zVL2K4VI53H-JKT4m3X4OrXzZVvytyQODjmxoZWHiH39BGkLlEb7_ZdZL0mlW1hDAgoPrBEoRIi9PK1v66TW6fTjlhSpTDb-o15eAO_Jr1b5OiwNS9sylV2ryGqoh9CIjvCIiiQ5jDNEdCpKtwZyg6bVEwif2sNr/w400-h391/101_9112.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The drill arm is straight out of the killa kans kit, and like all their arms is fully compatible with the dread's lower arm sockets.

The catch was that anything that fell off while you were moving the vehicle...well, fell off, taking damage and staying where it landed. I can remember ork players in 2nd ed making these crazy pyramids of jumbled infantry models that inevitably resulted in "involutary dismounts" for some of them. Keep in mind that most models were metal back then. Chipped and battered paint jobs were commonplace for greenskins players back then. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGe1Dh9xCuxKIz1SaF0cU8bPaFfaDX7mMSp2Z68ItsmNTm9a2mbcalVxnVKwz1-2BXSVuljta7Lm2SAY02ftxVkEFRcuLK_pcgePFKW5qotXGn3WaeQL3Z3uQmCxZiyp7UXpqxQ-L1FNyXyeUlBjgtdAX5E349abWTMs_SGA7W8G96Lut-aXjwJyPs/s2662/101_9122.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2167" data-original-width="2662" height="325" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGe1Dh9xCuxKIz1SaF0cU8bPaFfaDX7mMSp2Z68ItsmNTm9a2mbcalVxnVKwz1-2BXSVuljta7Lm2SAY02ftxVkEFRcuLK_pcgePFKW5qotXGn3WaeQL3Z3uQmCxZiyp7UXpqxQ-L1FNyXyeUlBjgtdAX5E349abWTMs_SGA7W8G96Lut-aXjwJyPs/w400-h325/101_9122.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I cribbed some spare heads from other kits for the crew here but they're otherwise stock.

Even 2nd edition wouldn't have allowed quite that much silliness (although the old gumball dreads were even smaller), but it does remind me of an idea that GW's demo guys were floating around when the first edition of Epic Space Marine first came out. They got very enthusiastic about the idea of variant Rhino designs coming out in both 6mm and for 40K, including the modern day Whirlwind, Predator and Vindicator. One concept that didn't appear was a "flatbed" Rhino that traded its troop compartment for a fighting platform designed specifically to carry a marine dreadnought, letting it fire its weaponry while hitching a ride on the vehicle. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Always thought it was shame that one didn't make it into the game, but here's an opportunity to do it ork-style.

They feature a modest amount of kitbashing and quite few minor part swaps with other ork kits, particularly the deff dred thanks to its many cross-compatible components. Or should that be kross-kompatible komponents? Orkspeak is hard on the old spellchecker for sure.</span></p><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Kans come on 60mm bases just like the larger deff dred does. They may be the least expensive model in the game with such a large base, although some of the new Imperial Guard weapon teams may steal that title when their 9th edition codex finally arrives. Being a 3-6 model unit on such large bases makes for some unusual problems when it comes to navigating terrain, complicated by having the vehicle keyword. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

They come in groups of 3-6 and are boxed in threes, but I'm sticking with five-model units. That's partly to avoid giving Blast weapons a bonus, but the image below highlights a problem that I don't see mentioned by anyone - most likely because theoryhammer doesn't look at the physical miniatures much. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlPX8vKYLsF01mei6n5NG6nP-3v-GpSaTMVesjuX8yHwnF4gL9Rpk_wus90rl0KM8idUOci6tYTltwNtSnVAODusTwEhnR7Qqg2JRpDuExsthfPSgxh_ruCYvMpo6AVrRgaHdL0cEt00zVX4PkDcNWUD29Z5WzQyVo-ZYaOTQzmP-akE1Dwg1xF9YR/s2818/101_9109.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1985" data-original-width="2818" height="281" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlPX8vKYLsF01mei6n5NG6nP-3v-GpSaTMVesjuX8yHwnF4gL9Rpk_wus90rl0KM8idUOci6tYTltwNtSnVAODusTwEhnR7Qqg2JRpDuExsthfPSgxh_ruCYvMpo6AVrRgaHdL0cEt00zVX4PkDcNWUD29Z5WzQyVo-ZYaOTQzmP-akE1Dwg1xF9YR/w400-h281/101_9109.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">If you go to six models your unit coherency requirement changes from being near one other model to two. Those big 60mm bases make maneuvering in tight quarters hard enough, and when you need to keep three figs in a clump it's even harder. Getting bottlenecked is a real possibility with a full unit of these thing, and can easily cost you the opportunity to charge the target you want. Pundits are quick to point out how much morale losses in a kan unit hurt, but that's nothing compared to how bad you'll feel if you slip up and leave your unit in a position where you can't remove a casualty without breaking coherency, or worse, just plain lose a model due to careless movement. Better to stick to five if you're taking them at all.</div><p></p>Dick McGeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14521293874696659063noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7874930136498470982.post-21424150087540479402022-11-06T15:33:00.003-08:002023-07-03T15:13:33.238-07:00Frostgrave: A Few More Wizards<p> Finished up the last of my female wizards from Frostgrave, although I still have a vast supply of leftover bits that will no doubt make an appearance on other models in the future.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

It's nice to have a good set of figs for these flavorful old models. </p><p>If I liked 9th Edition enough to play it I'd do up some homebrew rules for using them in the modern day, but I'd rather play old school 40K from the Rogue Trader and 2nd Edition days.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEioW9ZnKf4lSUGaeEsdMXFGbquhZLGmIsZ531tnHztcY8lTwuUUIK2CeH4t7Fha3b7YPOyhHinxO35PAd5fBGnqneVq_phP1fS4ZdNh2wO-cqzI1ZusQnnnR7QE8pn7jz2tmqoJ5ICQt_tiW9-TBmXSWmZ0-IeqlnBCjGQUD22hq_NgQl9SAQf_9Q/s2692/Penal3.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1401" data-original-width="2692" height="209" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEioW9ZnKf4lSUGaeEsdMXFGbquhZLGmIsZ531tnHztcY8lTwuUUIK2CeH4t7Fha3b7YPOyhHinxO35PAd5fBGnqneVq_phP1fS4ZdNh2wO-cqzI1ZusQnnnR7QE8pn7jz2tmqoJ5ICQt_tiW9-TBmXSWmZ0-IeqlnBCjGQUD22hq_NgQl9SAQf_9Q/w400-h209/Penal3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkgBISroM0CgT0YepBBvCUeQaq9E3DNNTa-a9ZeSSUvaE8oyFAf8VwaSFXGroj1X7EfkTHESlVCCbDnfNFTzXSyl0n0Rxuu-Yh9Ju0RlVkTBEY8bGntA4l_cb0vpITf0KJw5f_jFzKSM00H2EoFSXX45bFdH0UaVNWi0BcCfMYTKTpDGppDONHolEy/s2238/Penal4.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1413" data-original-width="2238" height="253" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkgBISroM0CgT0YepBBvCUeQaq9E3DNNTa-a9ZeSSUvaE8oyFAf8VwaSFXGroj1X7EfkTHESlVCCbDnfNFTzXSyl0n0Rxuu-Yh9Ju0RlVkTBEY8bGntA4l_cb0vpITf0KJw5f_jFzKSM00H2EoFSXX45bFdH0UaVNWi0BcCfMYTKTpDGppDONHolEy/w400-h253/Penal4.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I did up fifty of the models for this project, which amounts to most of the contents of one of each of the male and female Cannon Fodder kits.

The only letdown (and it's a big one, unfortunately) is that, unlike the male kit, there is no keying at all on the female frame. This makes it a lengthy process of trial and error to assemble, since the paired arms aren't anywhere near each other on the frames. It took me five times as long to assemble 20 figs from the unkeyed kit as it did to do 30 of the make models. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBTSOCYIpMgttYBqVg2vPlBHpzf7VI35K_wNf2fVbNwxgxznd7BF5X_IWi-Bs0RVykfvjS4_u89Mk65nkX4ZqOy_WfeGJSfbTfpwdRNrVN3dbya-toR9wIYYGJZBf1LInze72-8cKYlVi_ezzDuRvsQF73Nj54WwbZqcKNZC6tqDx4K0fIPElPxfAk/s2969/Penal1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1580" data-original-width="2969" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBTSOCYIpMgttYBqVg2vPlBHpzf7VI35K_wNf2fVbNwxgxznd7BF5X_IWi-Bs0RVykfvjS4_u89Mk65nkX4ZqOy_WfeGJSfbTfpwdRNrVN3dbya-toR9wIYYGJZBf1LInze72-8cKYlVi_ezzDuRvsQF73Nj54WwbZqcKNZC6tqDx4K0fIPElPxfAk/w400-h213/Penal1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">To put it mildly, I wasn't pleased when I discovered this, and I was even less pleased when I contacted WA to ask if they had assembly instructions for the unkeyed female kit (which uses only a single frame) and got no response. At time of this posting they haven't put a guide up online, despite having images of the frame on their store that could be easily photoshopped to add a key to it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Because of this, I'll gladly recommend the male kit, but advise no one buy the female kit without being aware of the issue. You can manage to pair the arms up with a lot of test fitting and trial and error, but even having finished a bunch of them I'm still not sure I've got all the arms matched up properly.

text-align: center;">Gallery showing off a few painted plastic figures from WizKids' plastic D&D range. The plastic is fairly soft, firmer than Reaper's original Bones material but less so than the later Bones USA formulation. You couldn't pay me to paint human-sized figs with spindly, super-flexible weapons, but on chunkier monsters like these it's acceptable. Neither expensive nor cheap for what they are, although the amount all newer soft plastics have gone up in the last few years is appalling. Not as bad as the increase in costs for metals, but it's gotten to the point where hard plastic figs are frequently cheaper and much more pleasant to work with.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>Group shot with a Frostgrave soldier for size comparison.

Many scenarios already have features that encourage (or even require) models to interact with them, but the idea of "generic" ones that can be included in the standard scenario listed on page 38 of the core book is quite a bit trickier to execute.
