This is it! No more infantry for the Lost and the Damned (all gods)! I present two units of Plague Zombies. Or at least two units at average unit size. I guess they fluctuate between games…
As a result of criticism on TacComs, here is the slightly reworked Plague Tower (drilled out the gun barrels).
And a quick Slaneesh objective:
A plague pool for the minions of Nurgle. Greenstuff, some old models and a bit of coloured resin.
The mighty big brother of the Contagion Engines. Took a bit longer because of the banner (which is less “monocolour” in reality).
On the last drop of Devlan Mud I finished the Contagion Engines. Old models but quite lovely. The wood is a blend of colours similar to the Nurgle Altar. Doesn’t come through on the photos though.
These are kitbashed from old Epic Ork battle wagon chassis and some GHQ truck parts that I found in my bitz box. I am going to add some Beastmen into the open truck beds at some point. There are enough transports for two covens (6 Mutants + 6 Big Mutants).
Well, at least marching onto the painting table (at the end of a long line). Basing, stripping and green stuff work completed for the Squats. Now there is just that minor detail of painting them.
Top row from left: The heavy war engines (Cyclops, Colossus, Leviathan, 2 Land Trains with carts) and a Brotherhood with Termite Tunnelers
Middle row from left: Berzerker with two Mole tunellers, a squadron of Robots and a Brotherhood with Spartan Rhinos.
Bottom row from left: Twelve Thunderers and the Living Ancestor.
Top row from left: 18 Mole Mortars, 3 Goliath (1 inbound from Ebay) and 2 Thunderfire AA guns (4 more inbound from Ebay).
Middle row from left: 18 Thudd Guns, 6 Rapiers, three squadrons of 6 Bikers and 6 Exo Armour Bikers.
Bottom row from left: 6 Iron Eagle flyers, 2 Overlord Airships, 12 Trikes, and the “bike masters” (2 with masters on bikes, 1 on trike).
This is pretty much everything available in the various Squat lists and comes to a grand total around 10,000 points. I just received the remaining parts for 6 Hearthguard bases and 6 Exo-Armour bases. Those will join the ranks shortly.
The protectors of Mars, worshippers of the Machine God: Adeptus Mechanicus is ready for painting.
The infantry models are a mix of TacComs custom sculpts and DRM Industrial Infantry. The guns and Gorgons are Otterware. My goal for the AdMech army was to avoid painting another Imperial Guard force. I am therefore using different models for all the artillery options and have focused on unique AdMech units. All artillery is basically static (pulled by the little Otterware tracks for visual effect). This contrasts them nicely with the self-propelled Imperial Guard artillery.
The core are four Skitarii formations with some Thudd Gun support and some Praetorians in Gorgons. Two of the Skitarii formations can be mounted in Chimeras (not pictured). The little pile on the bottom left are DRM Scout Buggies that I will use as Sentinels.
The more interesting tray has all the toys. On the top we have various Knights (still looking for the missing Knight types). Above are six Macharius heavy tanks and two Ordinati Majoris on the right (third one in transit from Ebay). On the middle left are the legs for two Warhound Titants, one Warlord Titan and a Reaver Titan. Bottom left are 6 Basilisk (Otterware), 6 Bombards (Otterware), 3 Manticore platforms (Forge World) and 3 Hydra Platforms (Forge World). The little tankette tracks are just for visual effect (I imaging them pulling the fixed artillery).
Using the War Griffons list this totals to about 11,000 points (with the Titans).
My Epic Eldar army is ready for painting except some undercoating. I am still undecided on paint scheme. My instinct is to go with the purple and bone scheme that I used for my 40k Eldar (and BFG fleet). I can’t find a good way to highlight purple at an Epic scale though. For BFG I just drybrush and the 40k models were large enough for manual highlighting. I would rather not do that on a 6mm scale. We will see if inspiration strikes me.
The core of the army are the Guardians with five formations including 8 support weapons. All models are new style Games Workshop. I scraped together 7 Wraithguard bases, 6 Vibro Cannon support platforms and 12 Ranger bases. On the top right are the Wraithgate and a painted objective (a statue though it looks a bit flat from this angle).
The Aspect Warriors are next. This basically a full 8 base unit for each Aspect in existance (Howling Banshee, Striking Scorpion, Dark Reaper, Warp Spider, Dire Avenger, Fire Dragons, Shining Spears, Swooping Hawks). Each formation has two Exarchs and there is a separate Autarch as well. On the right side are (from the top) 12 Warwalker, 3 Wraithlords and three squadrons of 6 Jetbikes each.
Finally the toys. Top left are the Engines of Vaul with two Scorpions, two Cobras, two Storm Serpents and a lonely Void Spinner. Then two Revenant Titans (a Phantom and Warlock Titan aren’t pictured). On the right top are the flyers: 2 Vampires, 3 Phoenix and 3 Nightwings. A few Vypers and the Avatar are in the middle.
Bottom row are Falcons, Wave Serpents and the specialist tanks on the right (Doom Weaver, Fire Prisms and Firestorms).
All in this comes to about 10,500 points and should have all units at reasonable quantities for a 3k-5k game.
Master Tzeentch has provided. A nice platform of power to guide the way for the minions of the Changer.
The model is a kit bash of old 40k parts and some new architecture bitz.
