Loving the Destroyers. Excellent use of parts exceptionally well executed!

"But me no buts! Our comrades get hurt. Our friends die. Falkenburg is a knight who swore an oath to serve the church and to defend the weak. He'd be the first to tell you to stop puling and start planning. Because what we are doing-at risk to ourselves-is what we have sworn to do. The West relies on us. It is a risk we take with pride. It is an oath we honour. Even when some soft southern burgher mutters about us, we know the reason he sleeps soft and comfortable, why his wife is able to complain about the price of cabbages as her most serious problem and why his children dare to throw dung and yell "Knot" when we pass. It's because we are what we are. For all our faults we stand for law and light.

When I build the next batch of troops, I'll take a few pix and update the tutorial for them. I must admit that I have simplified the process since I did the original tutorial so an update is in order . When I do the next Death Scooters, I'll take pix of those as well...but they will be a slightly different design (one will be for the destroyer lord and one will be a heavy version).

I will highlight further when I get more finished to the current standard...but it won't be in the near future...far too much other stuff to do .

I plan to do some Mini-Cron Ogres for use as Tomb Spiders...but I can't say when they will be done...soon hopefully .

Now that's what I call one great looking theme army! You can still identify every unit based on the codex, yet they look really unique.

The paintjob is a bit dull for my taste, but it works and that's what counts.

Looking forward to more of these.

The paintjob will improve once I have built a few more and got them to the same standard...I don't want to be put off building them so the less time between paint/build, the better.

I'm thinking that the army will have:
22 troops (12 finished)
1 Lord on foot (finished)
3 Destroyers (finished)
1 Lord Destroyer
1 Heavy Destroyer
3 Tomb Spiders

Once I have them all painted to the standard already displayed, I will go back and edge highlight and add some markings. I was thinking a basic symbol and numbers...probably in either white or black (a bit like military aircraft). I thought a triangle or star as the symbol.

Now...can I get away with having squad leaders? Same equipment but with a different head and maybe some rank markings? What do you reckon? It would keep up the military looking theme I have built up.

This is obviously modeling for advantage and I will have no part in playing against a WAAC fellow such as yourself.

But in all honesty, these are awesome and I've never seen anything like them before. The counts-as-wraiths on the hoverboards are my favorite; can't wait to see some paint on them!

WAAC ? I wouldn't have thought so.

If it ever bothered someone to a point that they needed to complain, I'd just blue-tac an extra base to the bottom of each one to get a bit of extra height...but woe betide anyone who had a kneeling spacemarine or Tau...

I don't game so it would never be an issue

Instead of 'true-scale' marines, I've build Squat Necrons...where's the harm in that?

It was a joke! Just putting some obvious hyperbole down is all. I doubt anyone would actually accuse you of modeling for advantage, especially since you've done such a good job converting and painting them.

I knew it was a joke so no worries there .

It isn't the first time the subject has come up though. It is never a problem for me but at least one chap has followed my 'How-to' and has been told in no uncertain terms that he was gaming to advantage and that his gaming group wouldn't play against him.

I wish in real warfare we could chose our enemies with such precision !
