SUNHOLD: The First Triumvirate – Report

Marko Paunović, 6th July 2022

Sunhold:The First Triumvirate is an AoS28 event game that was held on July 2 2022 in UMS "Agram", Zagreb, Croatia.

The event that was scheduled for summer 2020, after two years of postponements due to the pandemic, finally took place as a part of our traditional Agram Arena Summer.

James (UK): „Sunhold was a fantastic experience, and definitely worth the wait. Painting a warband and seeing everyone else’s models and terrain was a sight to behold, and made me proud to be part of the “AoS28” community. Thank you to the organisers for a great set of games in a superb venue. Hope to see you all again soon!“

As with all our events the day started with setting up the venue. Putting up the banners, connecting the laptop to the overhead projector, setting up the photo area and most importantly setting up the terrain for the game before the players arrive.

The story of The First Triumvirate takes place in a territory freshly liberated from occupation by Chaos. The huge and mighty Stormhost is gone to fight somewhere else, and people are working on resettling the area: rebuilding, repopulating, starting new kingdoms on ruins of old. A small contingent of Stormcast Eternals remains to coordinate and lead these efforts. Although armies of Chaos are gone, these lands are not fully safe yet. Wild beasts, the undead and small groups of servants of Chaos are still roaming about. Each city-state and country are painstakingly reclaimed for mankind, and the execution of this effort is organized as a series of reclamation projects. Sunhold is a sprawling ruined city surrounded by plains,forests and marshes. The events of our game took place within Sunhold.

Each player took command of a small warband, representing groups that entered the city to fulfil their individual goals. They may be a part of the reclamation project and want to exterminate enemies of humanity to make the city once more habitable, or they may be a party of adventurers or bandits who wish to loot the ruins and fill their own pockets. The warbands may make alliances and collaborate, or betray and eliminate each other on their path through the ruins.

Goran: "The event overall was very nice, people really did a great job on their warbands. I endeavoured to get into the character of my warband's leader and his accompanying jester, which looked to have a positive effect on everyone's enjoyment of the game. The terrain and narrative, as well as the rules seemed a great fit for such a roleplaying/dungeon crawling experience. Overall, Ivan and Ana did an outstandingly good job preparing the story, characters, rules and terrain, and it would have been a shame not to enjoy the fruits of such an effort."

Witold (Pol): "From the modelling side of things, I was surprised how much fun it is to use Perry, North Star, and Wargames Atlantic miniatures to make a converted adventuring party, and not using anything by Games Workshop for a change. Great proportions, low level of detail that lets me focus on what is really important... They look very human (or very spider, in case of a few models of mine), grounded and subtle. I may want to make a whole army of these, now."

UMS Agram has a tradition of awarding the best painted models/armies at our events, a chance we could not miss at this visually stunning event. In the end the award went to Vladimir Matić-Kuriljov from Serbia for his hand sculpted dwarf warband

Vladimir: "It is always an honor to be invited to a game organized by Ana Polanšćak. Her dedication drives me to do not just my best, but to push beyond what I thought were my limits, and so it was this time around. Even though I started gaming with miniatures I sculpted myself, it took me years and years to gather the confidence to do so again."

Before the gallery of the miniatures used, UMS Agram would like to thank Ana and Ivan Polanšćak for organizing and running the event. Also we would like to thank our guests from France, UK, Poland and Serbia (Seraphim Soupizet, James Stone, Witold Krawczyk and Vladimir) as well as Cody Taylor and Matt Ross from USA and Simon Schießl from Germany who were kind enough to make and send their models especially for the event. A big shoutout to Nicolas Evans of UK who made the Sunhold logo pins for the event!

    So far I have finished making the base, painting the base, painting the interior of the vehicle and painting the figures. Now it's time to add the vegetation

    Click for enlarged picture

    The pines/trees were already fixed to the base before painting, so the first vegetation I added was tall shrubs that filled the volume of the base.

    Click for enlarged picture

    Then I added lower vegetation like tall grass and lower bushes.

    Click for enlarged picture

    Finally, I added some short grass, making sure when I was making the parking lot and path that there was no vegetation in the places where the wheels pass.

    Click for enlarged picture

    The paint on the base has just dried up, so next time I'll add the vegetation.

    When the diorama is turned to the back, the volume of the forest is visible.

    Before placing the vehicles and miniatures on the base, the diorama looks like this.

    Borovi/drveće je već bilo fiksirano na bazu prije bojanja pa je prva sljedeća vegetacija bila visoko žbunje kojim sam popunio volumen baze.

    Potom sam dodao niže raslinje poput visoke trave i nižeg grmlja.

    Na kraju sam dodao i nisku travu pri čemu sam pazio kad sam radio ugibalište i puteljak da vegetacije ne bude na mjestima gdje prolaze kotači.

    After that, I started with the basic colors, concentrating a little more on the truck driver..

    As I announced last time, it's time to get down to the vehicles. The first thing I did was disassemble the models and take out the interiors of all three vehicles.

    Click for enlarged picture

    As you can see in the picture, the interior of the vehicle is poorly or not at all painted, so a lot of attention and time was spent there. I painted the upholstery in shades of gray, or brown on the Tristač. I brought out the details on the dashboard and around the gearbox.

    Click for enlarged picture

    There was something missing from the start on the Fićo, but I couldn't figure out what it was until Kruno pointed out to me that the flashing lights were missing. I fixed that with a small 3mm clear LED that I painted in Tamiya Clear Blue with a silver edge.

    This completes the painting of the vehicles’ interior.

    Kao što sam najavio prošli put, vrijeme je da se bacim na vozila. Prvo što sam napravio jest da sam rastavio modele i izvadio unutrašnjost sva tri vozila

    Click for enlarged picture

    Kako je vidljivo na slici, unutrašnjost vozila je slabo ili nikako obojana stoga je tu otišlo mnogo pažnje i vremena. Tapecirunge sam obojao u sive nijanse, odnosno u smeđe na tristaču. Izvukao sam detalje na komandnim pločama te oko mjenjača.

    Na fićeku mi je otpočetka nešto falilo, ali nisam mogao skužiti što dok mi Kruno nije skrenuo pažnju da fali rotirka. Nju sam sredio pomoću jedne male 3mm prozirne LED koju sam obojao u Tamiya Clear Blue sa srebrnim rubom.

    Last time I explained how I created the terrain, and this time I'll be painting the terrain. The terrain itself consists of several parts: an asphalt road, a turnoff and path, and the terrain in the forest.

    Click for enlarged picture

    Since I wanted all the surfaces to have similar tones, I decided to paint without a base color, applying the main color immediately. The paint I applied was very thin so it stayed wet for a long time, which allowed me to mix the base colors and get a uniform tone.

    Click for enlarged picture

    After applying the basic tones, I started shading. I also used the same principle, using quite diluted tones to create unevenness in certain parts of the surface.

    Click for enlarged picture

    Then I added a layer that I could most simply call wash. A very diluted darker shade of color.

    Click for enlarged picture

    I applied the final shades using another technique, the simplest one – dry brush.

    Click for enlarged picture

    While these paints were drying, I was simultaneously disassembling and painting the interior of the car and truck, as well as the figures, which will be the subject of future articles.

    Prošli put sam objasnio kako sam izradio teren, a ovaj put ću se baviti bojanjem terena. Sami teren se sastoji od nekoliko dijelova: asfaltna cesta, ugibalište i puteljak te teren u šumi.

    Click for enlarged picture

    S obzirom da sam htio da sve površine imaju slične tonove, odlučio sam se bojati bez temeljne boje, nanoseći odmah glavni ton. Boju koju sam nanosio bila je jako razvodnjena tako da je dugo bila mokra i to mi je omogućavalo miješanje osnovnih tonova i dobivanje ujednačene tonove.

    Click for enlarged picture

    Nakon nanošenja osnovnih tonova, krenuo sam sa nijansiranjem. Također sam radio istim principom, dosta razvodnjene tonove kako bih dobio neujednačenost pojedinih dijelova površine.

    Click for enlarged picture

    Potom sam dodao sloj koji bih najjednostavnije mogao nazvati wash. Jako razvodnjenu tamniju nijansu boje.

    Click for enlarged picture

    Završne nijanse sam nanio drugom tehnikom, najjednostavnijom – dry brush.

    Click for enlarged picture

    Dok su se ove boje sušile, paralelno sam rastavio i bojao unutrašnjost automobila i kamiona te figura što će biti tema sljedećih članaka.

    In this series of articles, we will follow my work on a new diorama, another in the 1986 series. This time I have again decided to use a former country. Another version of the SFRY 1986.

    Click for enlarged picture

    As always, everything starts with an idea. This time, the idea came from a model of an Agrokomerc truck that Bojan brought me from Serbia (where it was published as part of a magazine). The design itself changed a bit over time (the first few months of planning). Initially, it was supposed to be just a truck at a roadside stop. Then the idea came to include the Police. And then I got two police vehicles. Fić and Tristač. Basically, this is the first drawing that started it all.

    Click for enlarged picture

    The base for the diorama came from Moson, from Buco. A fantastic combination of MDF and Styrodur that allows you to remove the diorama itself, but also to lower the terrain below the base level. I removed the Styrodur base, modeled it a little to get different terrain height levels. I modeled the road from a cork board, and assembled the rest of the terrain from DAS clay and wooden bark.

    Click for enlarged picture

    Once everything was dry I added texture. Two or three sizes of sand and that was it.

    Click for enlarged picture

    And when that layer was dry, I used a drill to fix the trees to the back of the base. Since all the trees had tall trunks, I decided to leave them as is and not move them during the painting process.

    Click for enlarged picture

    That's it for this week. We already have a nice outline of the diorama, and next time we'll continue with painting the base.

    Kao i uvijek, sve počinje idejom. Ovoga puta, ideja se izrodila iz makete Agrokomercovog kamiona kojeg mi je Bojan dofurao iz Srbije (gdje je izašao u sklopu nekog časopisa). Sami dizajn se malo mijenjao tijekom vremena (prvih par mjeseci planiranja). Otpočetka, trebao je to biti samo kamion na nekom ugibalištu pored ceste. Onda se rodila ideja da stavim i Miliciju. A onda sam nabavio i dva milicijska vozila. Fiću i Tristača. Uglavnom, ovo je prvi crtež od kojeg je sve krenulo.

    Click for enlarged picture

    Baza za dioramu je došla s Mosona, od Buce. Fantastičan spoj MDFa i stirodura koji omogućava vađenje same diorame, ali i upuštanje terena ispod razine baze. Izvadio sam stirodurnu podlogu, malo je izmodelirao da dobijem razne razine visine terena. Cestu sam izmodelirao iz ploče pluta, a ostatak terena složio od DAS glinamola i drvenih kora.
