Love the Hammernators... just ooze resilience and power... although I'd be trying to snipe them in the head if I came up against them. All that thick armour and sheilds and leave the noggins exposed hehe.

Tigurius is coming along really nicely as well, he has had some encounters with Tyranids in the past... wonder if it's time for another fight with a certain hive fleet

Gargantuan Great Squiggoth





Not where I should be

Well the hammers came out great bud, lovely work. Knew you would get that blue in check, really nice gritty bunch.

I don't mind bare heads myself, I figure they are either so amazing they can hold their breath for years, or there is some force field thingy built in. After all when do we actually see them fighting in space, it is always on a flat piece of field/city/battlefield that these are actually on at this moment in time, and they are that thick headed probably deflect most any projectile thrown at them.

Tiggy is off to a good start too.

@AoV - Thanks mate

@Mad - Heres hoping, a 2+/3++ model is very tanky, but very high points cost. Look forward to our next round of games.

@Cam - I suspect there is a force field, at least it helps with a squishy noggin.

Update: Had a 1500p base vs Mad this afternoon, Necrons got a leg stretch which was nice after being in their case for 4-5 months, eked out a 12 to 6 win with some very lucky rolling from me vs some very unlucky rolling for him (case in point ran C'tan shard of death, rolled a 5 on the shooting attack which is the Str D one shot weapon) rolled a 6 to hit, then a 6 on the D chart then a 5 on the wounds, = dead Swarmlord) Looking forward to the next round. Model wise metals started, cloak basically done

@EDC - Cheers, I was really struggling to figure out how to make it different and unique.

@Januine - Thanks, I would have liked the scripture on the shoulderpad and tabbard to be a little finer, in hindsight I used the wrong brush size.

@Solar - Thank you!

@Nev - Thanks

@d00m - Cheers.

@Wolvey - You're to kind

Update: Got a bit done on the GK centurions, not all the colours mind you

Dum dum dum! More centurions! I love their models so I cannot fault you. If I ever do my carcharodons I will have centurion because I love the models.

Looking good so far.

@Wolvey - I think the normal models are pretty cool, doing them as I have here is a nightmare to store (so many pointy sticky outy bits)

@Mad - Thanks man!

Update: more base colours applied.

I didn't know that the Gk had personal centurions. Where did you get these, parts or all?

@Gits - Hahha, thats a paradox isn't it, I need to let you know, but I'm not going to post to let you know, so how do I let you know with out posting (Brain melts)

@Justaerin - Welllllll..... technically they don't, but in the same breath a spider tank isn't really a thing either All the spares are from my bits box, i've had to extend to 3 now as the first filled up to quickly

Update: more base work on the cents, then washed
