Orks vs Chaos Cultists - Novac after Dark (VERY pic heavy)

MORDHEIMER's EDIT: This thread has been declared Officially AWESOME!

I have updated this first post to contain the whole battle report. Have phun:

AWESOME!!!!! Battle report... COMIC BOOK STYLE!!!

Komfritten. I think you are a freaking GENIUS!! Also, I need to let you know that I have the forum reducing any pics larger that a certain size to auto-reduce to fit the format. This is why your report looks smaller. DO NOT adjust your TV! If you put the direct link, people can open the image in full glory...

Where is page 2?!?!?!? I'm dying to know what happened! This is AWESOME!

Heh, I'm working on it =) but it's like on tv - you always have to wait for next week to see the next episode

What are the measurements in pixels / mb, maybe I can optimize it for that?

Awesome report be warned I am stealing that format for my next report I'll be doing.....


can't wait to see what happens..... same Komfritten channel same Komfritten Time....


LGW

Pictures get re-sized to 800 x 600... but your format is fine! I added the direct link on 1st post.


Your terrain looks AMAZING! WOW! I can't still get over it! The models are painted VERY well too! I mean... it does NOT look like a game, but like a fancy graphic model. INCREDIBLE!

Looks good. I am looking forward to seeing more of the battle report.

Your terrain is creating a nice look across al of the pieces. Very much a gritty urban feel. Keep up the good work!

What a cool and novel way to do a battle report! As Mord said, with your painting and scenery it looks like a graphic novel, really awesome. Can't wait to see more.

Ace battle report - great style - looking forward to chapter two.

How did you create the report?

With photoshop and lots of "patiance" or patience for that matter

I'm adjusting the format, and trying to get some coherency in the ork lingo (I'm not a linguist), but it's the goal to try to up the reports as we go - havn't tried it before but its great fun to make

See full size HERE!

Wow, just wow, I can't get over how amazing everything you do looks!

"My hip! Grah!" epic :p

that is so cool

I can't wait for each episode to come out this must be the best battle report i have EVER seen.....

the special effects make it more alive, vibrant and farking awesome.....



keep it up and BTW HURRY up with episode 3

LGW

I could use some feedback on what's missing? Do you need the dice rolls or is it cool as it is?

Anything else to make it a better report? More meta-info or something?

I think its fine as it is dude. adding in anything more may make it look clunky and over done... the "special effects" give you a rough idea if the dice roll was good or bad...

so when do we get the next episode?

LGW

I think it is great the way it is. It shows the interesting narrative of the battle. No need for the tedium of dice rolls and things (in my opinion!).

@ LGW: Working on it now, but its 22:43 here and the little one will crave my attention in 5-6 hours... but I can probably catch a nap when she does

ahhh little ones..... I am trying to deal with two vomiting, sick, kids and a wife who is unwell now that is a challenge.
how old? mine are 3 and 5 trying to recruit them into gaming kids. [daughter wants a animal Blood bowl team, son wants dwarfs, and when we play Space Hulk they both want the Genestealers so they can hunt my guys down.]

well all I can say is bring on episode 3 [when you get a chance]

LGW

8 months, and whenever I try to introduce her to my Orks, she tries to eat them! Scares the bejeesus out of them... But I'll probably have to way 'till she's 3, as it says on the package...

Komfritten... you are SOOOO SCREWED!!!!! You have NO idea what you have unleashed! We will DEMAND... hell I put a bounty on your head!!!... MOAR!!!!

I will be ashamed of writing Battle Reports now! This is AMAZING! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

I think is perfect! The special effects told me who missed (the Flamer missing was AWESOME!!!) and the little SAVE or WOUND was great! No need for dice... you made the game a real story! I can wait to show my kids the Comic!

maybe would should have a competition for best battle report and the winner gets it turned into a comic....

[all depends if Komfritten would be able to add his expertise to the event.]

call it the Komfritten Challenge....

THERE IS SO MUCH WIN IN THIS THREAD!!!



PRIUS! WE'RE ON! We need to do battle reports like this!

My pc (with my pictures broke down) so I had a panic attack, but a good friend of mine could actually restore most of all my pictures (had 3k of my little girl... panic!). But I found the ones to finish the rest of the report. I hopefully will have it done by midweek - next week.

Stay tuned

THIS IS AWESOME!
