The D6 Initiative

The D6 Initiative Namaste! Welcome to the public page of the D6 Initiative. We are a group of friends that enjoy playi And welcome to the D6 Initiative. What exactly does that mean?

Here at the D6I we strive for a "friends first, gamers second" mentality. That means that when playing games amongst ourselves, we recognize that most important of all, we are all friends, and that is more important than trying to win a game at all costs. After all, it is just a game. To that end, we have adopted some principles, house rules, and code of conduct that promotes a friendly gaming env

ironment. As friends, we put the needs of members of the group ahead of the needs of the game. For example, Games Workshop changes the rules ever so often in order to sell more armies. This usually means a person's army gets "nerfed" and they have to buy new models in order to play the game or they have to "retire" their army until a new rules set comes out that allows them to play their army once again. The D6I realizes this: it is akin to Neo swallowing the red pill and awakening into reality. So we come up with house rules to allow members to continue to play their army without having to fork out money they really don't have to buy new models, such as allowing them to use older army books or tweeking the main rules slighty. We are more interested in friendly games than filling the coffers of a giant corporation. The D6I is more than just a club; it is a network of people and friends who share the same gaming principles no matter what club they belong to, what game system they play, or what location they play in. In this way, we hope to establish a large-scale network of members so that when members visit different locations to play a game, there is someone there who is on the same page and shares the same principles so that they are guaranteed a fun, friendly and casual game. We are interested in promoting a healthy and productive gaming community, and since many clubs meet regularly at local gaming and hobby stores, we encourage players and members to support their local gaming store(s). We also encourage different groups to be autonomous in order to come up with their own House Rules that fit the needs of their particular members, in accordance with the Spirit of the Game and the Universal House Rules. What works for one group might not work for another, so we don't want one group to feel like they have to adopt house rules from a different group if those rules don't mesh well with the needs of their particular group. We should all share some common ground but also be independent enough to have our own individual group "identities." If you are interested in becoming a full member of the D6I Club, we generally want to get to know you by playing a few games with you first. Club Members play at Hobby Town in Mt. Juliet on Saturdays starting at 11:00 am, the Game Keep in Hermitage on Thursday nights starting at 6 pm, and Comix City Too in Madison on Sundays starting at noon. If you are interested in membership and would like to schedule a "get to know you" game, then send us a message here so that we can make arrangements. Anyone is welcome to come and play with us without needing to become a member. We are also a non-restrictive club, meaning we don't limit what types of models or armies you bring with you (for example, Lords of War, Unbound armies, etc.). We feel if you paid for it, you should be able to play it in a game.

As the army of deadwalkers under the control of Victor von Helsnicht shamble throughout the land, birds of prey are attracted to the smell of dead flesh. As they feast on the scavenged flesh, they in turn become infected with the necrotic power that has animated the dead, joining the ranks of the dead they preyed upon.

Victor Helsnicht is the emissary of the mysterious Phantom Queen known as The Morrigan. From the haunted woods of Acheron he emerged at the head of a mighty army of the dead, accompanied by carrion birds and Ravens, one of the symbols of The Morrigan.

The Carrion models will count as Fell Bats in my Deadwalker army. Painted with Contrast Paints using the "slap chop" method. Primary colors used were Guilliman Flesh, Skeleton Horde, and Basilicanum Grey.

Finished up my last 40 Deadwalker zombies. That puts me at over 200 zombies for this army. Painted these with the "slap chop" method using Contrast paints. The skin was painted with Guilliman Flesh and followed by Plaguebearer Flesh. Couldn't decide which model would be painted as "Samara" from The Ring so I painted two.

Gorslav the Gravekeeper. Painted mostly with Contrast Paints and slap chop. I wanted him to have a dirty, digging in the ground kind of look so I added some mud/dirt weathering to the bottom of his robes. His skin was painted with Guilliman Flesh followed by Plaguebearer Flesh.

Finally got around to taking pictures of my Co**se Carts. All painted with Contrast Paints using the "slap chop" method except for the metal bits.

Some new and some refurbished Co**se Carts. The Co**se Carts that came with the zombies I bought a couple of years ago were not in great shape and were either missing bits or had broken parts. After a long delay due to the Royal Mail getting hacked, I finally got my bits from the Bitzbox to repair them. After rebasing them and adding a few extra zombie bits from other kits, they are now ready to get the "slap chop" treatment.
