where did my post go? I wasn't rude, was I? :s

Sometimes the board eats a post. It's odd.

I picked up a moridian launcher at Salute & will be making it into an objective soon. It was made by a new sculptor, and you can see the style change in it, but its a nice enough piece. One thing I did find funny was that it comes with each wheel as a seperate piece. I can understand the sculptor making the master like that, so that they can get uniformality, but I was surprised the master castings weren't used to make the wheels part of the cab and trailer sections.

Very handy for a destroyed objective version though

Good to see the unit finally get a model - sure I wont be saying that when I have to face it on the table though


With regards the painting - I had the advantage of taking my time on the studio models and indeed having my own photography setup when I was working for DRM. Knowing how one works well with the other is a real plus.

We all know Onyx's painting is superb, so I guess its just a clash of styles with his painting & the photography being used by Doug. I do agree though that the missile's paintjob is a tad cartoony. Shame though, as they are nice figures & do look better in the flesh.

My intention isn't to be rude, I'm agree that the onyx work is superb! next time will be better !

Seperate wheels is probably a good thing as at least these ones have some detail. However, the model overall is a bit amaturish compared to a lot of the stuff that has come before it.

I'm not much of a fan of the Souldagger....there's some very crisp detail but the design is too messy and confusing to my eye. The Traltor and Velum are really nice designs though.....I can see a few of those being added to the spaceship collection!

What's the diameter and depth on the circular resin bases? And which of the three versions is the relatively plain middle one? I was intending on doing my own, but I'm an incredibly lazy modeller. Anything that cuts my workload down, is a good thing.

I'm assuming the peg holes happen to be coincidentally similar to other 6mm games bases/figures?

BTW for us Yanks ... Microworld is getting the Mordian to add to it DRM inventory, soon. I'll be getting 1 or 2 + some of Despot29's Lizzy-Riders ...

The base pegs are the standard 6mm size, as far as I am aware. I am not sure off-hand on the dimensions, but if you drop Doug an email he should be able to answer these questions.

I've finally painted up a moridian for myself (see other thread) and since it caused such discussion here, I'll be adding a review of it to my site soon - watch this space .
