The Sophotect Challenge - 3

My schedule is pretty packed.  Between working for free and scrambling to make some cash in the evenings, I don't have too much time to myself.  Sure, I just started my holidays, but relatives are on their way.  That means lots of entertaining (which has its own up-sides) and no painting.



Still, I'm spending the first morning of my vacation putting a few colours on Sophie.  I have decided that I want her to look strange, bizarre, inhuman.  As much as I like the studio scheme of almost plastic-looking skin, but I'm not really up to that standard of painting...and besides, it's not really alien enough for my ISS Sophotect.  I want to go with something more obvious.

Sorry, you wanted me to turn into what?
Enter Mystique, that lovably back-stabbing X-Men character.  She's blue, she's got weird eyes, and she's wickedly attractive despite (because of?) it.  I'm not going to turn my Sophotect into Mystique, of course, but the blue skin is an interesting place to start.  I've settled on red eyes, because most of my "technological" bits are done in red (power cableing, eyes, etc.), but I have no idea what colour to paint her hair yet.  Weird is good, but more red is probably bad.  Sorry, Mystique.

Oh, and I'm working on borrowing a camera so I can actually take some photos of Sophie.  Stay tuned.

    I've always thought Mystique was overrated. :(

    Blue skin could work, since it's the complementary colour of yellow.

    I definitely wouldn't go for red hair. Maybe... green?

Happy New Year - and Updates!

Happy new year, everyone! I've just gotten back from my short vacation, and now I'm starting to work on a gentle revamp of various units for Pendant World. Inspired by the conversation I had with playtesters last time, I'm looking to streamline some units and provide a lot more in the way of reactive options. Stay tuned!

Battle Report - Boudicca, Scourge of Rome VS Manfred Rochdale

Image
Source:  https://grazdgfx.tumblr.com/post/171535938767 Yesterday, one of my playtesters and I met up to play the Black Telephone scenario (core 23). He has been waiting for the Once Forgotten to hit the table, as he's a huge fan of undead factions in other games. I decided to take up the Fair Ones this time, figuring that they would be more than curious to see what messages came through the phones from the other side - whatever the other side is. This time, we tested out adjusted point totals and played a 150 point game. By the end of it, we agreed that 200 point games might be a bit more interesting (more models, more options), but this game was a fun scrap over a few ringing phones.

The Devotee of Tezcatlipoca, the Smoking Mirror

Image
The Devotee of Tezcatlipoca is another Ravenous Beyond cult model, but unlike the Disciple of Malphas, she is more than able to sneak around on her own and cause damage behind enemy lines. This article will go through what the Devotee is capable of doing now, along with a quick look at a previous version, and how she might benefit your faction in a game of Pendant World .
