  • Boarding Action is here and we're so excited to be releasing this game for you bosses today!! Lawrence leads the Obsidian Dragons to battle, breaching the hull of a Void Craft to purge the zombies within, but Beard and the Death Guard will stand in his way with Grandfather's blessings!
    We hope you like this new show! Boarding Action offers a unique way to play with much shorter games, all new missions and a balanced rule set...and even better is that you only need 500 points to play. Use your favourite units or use this as an opportunity to build up a new faction!
    *ATTENTION - This Report was filmed before the Mustering Rules, Balance Dataslate and Munitorum Field Manual PDFs were released*

    Just a PSA for those that got this far to comment and missed it in the video description
    This was filmed weeks ago, ie before AoC and other Dataslate changes, as well as the faction specific Mustering Rules. We're good, but not "see several weeks into the future to account for rules yet to be released" good 😅

    • @ColonelSandersLite
      @ColonelSandersLite Pƙed rokem +8

      Since you didn't get a reply - It's a pretty simple scheme. The steps would look like this.
      Painted the whole piece in burnt umber.
      Drybrush silver to pick out the edges.
      Apply any letter/number decals/stencils.
      Base coat the details. Lights in white.
      Black wash.
      Use an airbrush to selectively apply a basic raw sienna fade above some horizontal crossmembers on the lower halves of the walls and doors.
      Airbrush the lights with transparent inks in red/blue/yellow/green. You want overspray here to make a glow effect.
      That's pretty much it. Maybe pick out some details on the walls with brushwork if you want.
      Hope that helps.
