Merlin 549 Report post Posted May 29, 2017 I've decided I'd start painting, Finish painting or repaint my Teutonic Order models. First up is my attempt to make Metzger look cooler in the water than the current waterlined model Spartan has made. Next is a Titan Troop Transport painted up to be a dedicated Teutonic Order Troop Transport Ship. Next up will be a "Command" Metzger model im working on, then the Hochmeister Dreadbot (yes I still despise its place in the game and never likely to use it, but I like the model in any case) then I will be moving onto the Schildtrager Robots and Fausts at some point. 7 Slick, Presidente, Botticelli and 4 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Merlin 549 Report post Posted May 30, 2017 Here is a concept I'm going to draw up in Sketchup and 3d print. The design is essentially a mini Eider with the Teutonic Order bridge section from the Kickstarter banner. Thinking I'll call it the Soldat Class Light Cruiser. Can anyone guess what model it is supposed to be a count as for? I'll give you a hint. Every faction has access to it. 2 Elessar and Farcages reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Merlin 549 Report post Posted May 30, 2017 Ok, here is the ship so far. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Merlin 549 Report post Posted May 31, 2017 Little update on the cruiser. It is nearly ready for 3d printing now. Just a few details left to add in. 1 Farcages reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Farcages 159 Report post Posted June 2, 2017 Looks cool! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Merlin 549 Report post Posted June 2, 2017 Thanks. Did a bit more work on it to add a bit more detail to it. However I got ahead of myself and sent it into Shapeways to get printed before getting any details like rivets to it. But after seeing it in their rendering system made me forget about such nitty gritty. So within a couple of weeks I should have them to paint. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Merlin 549 Report post Posted June 4, 2017 Ok, the Cruiser made it through the Checks at Shapeways, so within the week I should have 4 of them to start painting and using. In the mean time I've been working on this little guy This is my Count-as Oil Rig. Essentially, it is supposed to be an Off-Shore Coastal Defense Robot Fortification. Still some work left to go on it. But what do you guys think? 1 Farcages reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Merlin 549 Report post Posted June 4, 2017 And since the image site is coming up as unsafe, I'll post a second comment to show the back. The forum seriously need to increase the image space allowance. 0.22mb is just not enough space for images. 1 Farcages reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the horned rat 8 Report post Posted June 5, 2017 Like the idea, except for the horns. Looks more like something for a spanish type fleet then. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Merlin 549 Report post Posted June 5, 2017 The Horns are based on this picture. I could possibly do a bit more editing to it, as I see your point. But there is only so much I can do before it'll be unprintable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the horned rat 8 Report post Posted June 5, 2017 Curve the horns aan bit more or make them a bit shorter so they don't become larger then the parts next to it. To what company do your bring your designs to be printed 3d? 1 Merlin reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Merlin 549 Report post Posted June 12, 2017 Ok, so the models arrived today. What do you guys think? They are a tad bigger than a light cruiser should be, but all in all I think they turned out great. 3 Whyarecarrots, the horned rat and Farcages reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slick 332 Report post Posted June 14, 2017 Excellent work on these! Loving the paint scheme too! 1 Merlin reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Merlin 549 Report post Posted June 15, 2017 Thanks. Really wanted to show these guys off on the forum, so I quickly painted them up the day I got them. Can't say i really had a paint scheme in mind, but i knew the primary colour had to be black to fit in with the Metzger I previously painted. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Merlin 549 Report post Posted August 13, 2017 Ok guys, been a while since I updated this. Not done an awful lot of work on my Teutronics as I've been patiently waiting for my North Star orders. But in the mean time I've been working on this little nugget for my normal Prussian Fleet Say hello to my Dragoner (Dragoon) Class Light Cruiser (Another Hermes Merchantman Count-as model, but this time a Torpedo version) What do you guys think? EDIT: Just got this finished too. Haven't a name for it yet, so I'd take suggestions if anybody has it. It'll be my Count As Apollo model 3 Umbra, fracas and Farcages reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Merlin 549 Report post Posted August 14, 2017 Here are some of the other models I finished painting up. Been meaning to upload these for a while, but never got around to it. Hochmeister Dreadbot: Ice Maiden: And a picture of all of the robots together with the Ice Maiden. Not a great picture with them on top of a red box lid, but it is what it is: The Metzger with the Banner is the "Command" Metzger I mentioned in the first post. EDIT: Here is the completed Apollo Count-as model. Both this, and the Cruiser model are away at the printers now, so Should get them within the week. 3 Elessar, Lord Nobody and Farcages reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
