I think this picks out some of the best elements of the first version & lets me bring back a fast assault unit, which I was clearly needing in the last game. Unfortunately I didn't have anywhere near the points I needed to bring back the robots. I was also able to beef up my tech marine with a full harness, which will help boost the impact of the marine shock-troops.

Loved the bat rep, and the list concept seems like a lot of fun

It's been interesting the one time out. We'll see how tomorrow night goes. I'll be sure to take pics again... hopefully better ones so I don't have to do as much writing!

So... the inquisitor and assassin can certainly be nice additions, but they're expensive which costs me my own admech units that I really like. The marines and psychers give me something I don't have otherwise... extreme mobility and access to the psychic phase. I think that's a good deal for the points.

Good luck. Looking forward to see the pics.

Yeah I think I prefer your latest list - looking forward to hearing how it plays!

Here's the touch up on the first of the astropaths. I'm naming her Esmeralda. Still needs a bit of touch up on the eye and a few facial highlights... but she's basically done.

She's like, 5 times life size on my screen but does the hair need anything? Then again, the stark difference between the white and black might work best on the table.

What's she doing hanging out with all those robots!

Public Service Announcement

Hello friends!

This missive is to let you know that for the time being, my 5 P&M blogs (Mantis Warriors, Bad Moon Orks, AdMech, Halloween themed Chaos and 30k EC) will have all their updates appearing on a single blog (my “Rebuilding the Mantis Warriors” blog… which will get a new name). Why? With my interests so scattered across multiple armies and terrain & the fact that I’m just not painting at the hundreds of figures a year rate that I used to… I’m not making enough quality posts to keep 5 different blogs going. I’ve got a few die-hard friends and supporters that still post… but not enough to build or maintain the community that has always been the strongpoint of my threads in the past.

If my circumstances change and I start painting enough to warrant re-opening one of the specialist threads, I’ll do so... they aren’t closed, just inactive. In the meantime, as of today (Feb 11th, 2017) I’ll be making all of my P&M posts (for all armies) on what has always been my “home” on DakkaDakka, my Mantis Warrior thread. I hope you’ll join me there for the latest updates!

Thanks!
