I painted these up with the intention of using them for gaming initially, but being as they're finecast...they're extremely delicate models. Far too fragile to use for gaming, the slightest touch or drop will break arms off. So I decided to make a scenic base for them. Maybe I'll use them for gaming, but I'm afraid stuff will break. I've already broken several arms off during the painting of them.

For these I used a variety of paints, including Badger's line of paints, of which I got a free set heh. I also tried to expand my bounds as a painter and not just straight up dip the entire model in Devlan mud, something I've done on virtually every GW model I've painted. I really like how their skin and tunics turned out.

I really love the sculpts, some of the best GW has made, but that damn finecast! These really remind me of the Cenobites from the Hellraiser series of movies. The female figure is from coolminiornot.com, she's a Counts-As Haemonculus.

The base is a cheap pine base from hobby lobby, stained with Minwax and the groundwork is all done with insulation foam and floor tile adhesive, with real rocks. Used Army Painter premade flocking and some plastic plants from hobby lobby. Base is painted with Apple Barrel Walmart paints and AK washes.

Hope you enjoy, C&C most welcome!

Very nicely done, love the bluish skin tone

What is the name of that CMON figure? She's a pretty dope addition to a unit of wracks! (A unit that, just to mention, is already pretty dope! Great paint work!)

Thanks, I want to say she's called the Domina of Torment, but I'm not quite sure. She was one of those limited runs CMON does.

Very ghostly. I love the purple plants on the bases. Great palette.

Lovly choice of colours

Nice Wracks, Cave Dweller, they look great.

Excellent painting, and killer base! You've gone the extra step!

Just awesome. I love display bases such as this one. Great!

Thanks guys!

The barren base really suits the rather held-back nature of the Wracks. Is the blue skin-tone a hint at the story in the DE codex where the Haemonculus steals thousands of Tau to turn into Wracks and Grotesques? If so, I love you and you're awesome

Lovely models!

The counts as Haemonculus is from Avatars of War, though she doesn't appear to be on their site any longer. CMON may be the only place to get it at the moment.

Great looking squad! I really love the way the purple plants on the bases compliment the icy skin tones.

I love the colors you chose. The display base is great as well.

No, it's more of a nod to the Cenobites from the Hellraiser movies, and it also fits in with my desert Dark Eldar w/ Eldar allies, all using this paint scheme and basing. I wanted them to be dead looking, like they've replaced their blood with embalming fluid or some other alien chems and it's made their skin corpse-like.

I'm not angry...
Just disappointed.

Wow, that is one nice display base! Love the wracks too. Makes me wanna do a similar diorama.
