Ahoi Hoi!
My Second Contribution for the German Games Day 2004... it won Bronze in the Diorama Category... *jippie*...
Again first of all I had to made up some fashy, interesting idea... ...
It had to be a Battle Scene, because this would tell a story perfectly... The scene should show some kind of action of which you might have asked yourself once what it would look like...
I found my inspiration on the cover of the Army Book Tau... I chose to use one of the new (and in my view absolutely brilliant... ...) Tau Battlesuits as the first protagonist... and some plasma... ...
Now, the main part of this Diorama is the shooting effect... According to general believe or knowledge plasma is a superultrahot and blue substance... I experimented for a very long time with various blue stuff... and finally I found a transparent, meltable stick made of plastic... ...
After that I continued my search for a fitting enemy... Tau Battlesuits usually strike from above, using their jumppacks while unleashing the hell out of their various deadly weapons over their enemies... ... So the enemy had to creep on earth... It was not very difficult to find something creeping, slimey, small... something nurglish... ... I chose Nurglings...
I used a standard lighter and other hot sources to melt the plastic to a shape I was pleased with... the Plasma missile was created... ...
After installing the whole suit and missile on its estimated position I started to arrange the nurglings... and here there was a surprise: An *exactly* upwarts staring Nurgling ... Simply PERFECT for a quite funny and interesting scene... the last few seconds of the poor little fella... ...
All in all the Category had been absolutely tough and I am very happy about the bronze... ...
I hope you like my diorama... please leave a comment if you like... ...
Cheers,
"Matt Cexwish"
