That she has to lead the Hunt pack by taking the place of the Alpha, becoming the Alpha by killing their Alpha and eating it's heart and guts in front of the pack, then making part of her armor and weapons using the parts from the old Alpha, shows how brutal the Morats can be.

The purple hair with highlights is looking good so far.


And the backstory on the figure is interesting, since I'm not overly familiar with Infinity's in-depth fluff. I've just read some on the basics.

The Corvus Belli site has their store, and the images link to some back story

Kornak is from group that was almost made extinct, and he came from the lower ranks and much adversity to be the most potent warrior-commander of the Morats. To make them into the 40k setting I call the Ga' Morla, I have to come up with some different fluff, although the hardest will be the Oznat and the Hungries.

And kudos for the speedy work

The Morats are so ruthless as to make the Hungries their hunting/scout units, so they are part of the mean spiritedness if the space simians. And as they stand taller than SM captain from Black Reach, they may well be the equivalent of the ape-like Halo guys of the covenant. The Brutes I think they are referred to.

Great start bud, looking "bright" and cheerful. Think if i ever manage to get into these, I will have to give them tails, they are monkeys after all!

Well, actually they are closer to chimpanzees/Gorillas than actual monkeys, but seems the Infinity Community calls them "Murder Monkeys", LOL!

For my 40k background for the "Pearl Strand Sector", the Ga' Morla are a fearsome mix of Tau(Tech), Space Marines(Strength/toughness, tactical ability), and Orks(ferocity and cunning) Balanced by the fact that they have not appeared in groups big enough to be a full army, Kill Teams so far, and if I collect enough, small combat patrols,,,,,Hmm, 17 minis so far including their pets, so capable of a skirmish, no vehicles or support yet. (Raicho would be equivalent to a Dready so to speak).

Speaking of, both these guys and the Rodok team need drones for the Hackers to work with, and command. I have not forgotten the Antipode plan, just this got my attention so, well, have to see , maybe a couple of boxes of drones and the antipodes for a major order when I can..

Pose is dynamic while he sits still, makes him look like he is using terrain to leap and close with the foes!

Looking better and better every time you post. Lookin' sweet.

Yep really coming along here, nice additions.

Thanks guys! I am trying to figure a scheme for the pets.

I have a scheme, something different! (For the Hungries that is!)

I am going to paint them in a stone with weathered stone pattern with some areas painted in either lichen like greens, or and browns, a real "blended to environment" color scheme, not a usually bright color.

Sounds like a good choice. Perfect for a predatory species.

With their handler, they will get to be "Beasts" 40k wise, so they get that fast speed to match the posing. Her firing smoke grenades to obscure them will make it tough to just knock them down so easily, they will be nasty in close combat!

They really are nice models aren't they. At least the guns look realistically futuristic. GW lasgun just does not cut it against things like this. They are definitely a great addition to the horde.

Plenty of detail to play with, and the guns are more "space gun" looking than the Lasguns of GW, These guys will be another xeno-scum enemy to fight.

Well done all round, Shas'.
I like the warpaint.

TY, and their fluff will show them a scary bunch indeed.

Armored boots landed on the soil of Vargalios-VII Outpost world. The blue-steel clad troopers moved efficiently and swiftly. "Commander, we have secured the outpost, there are no living sentients."

"Retrieve any data storage and pict -footage, the Inspector General wants to know what happened and who did this, the system here is in a sensitive area between the Union and several other power blocks. this will not make things smooth between all of the blocks."

Soon, the information was aboard the Inspector General office Battleruiser, and Inspector General Romanov was reviewing it. Finally, after many months of reports of such attacks he had some idea what he was dealing with. Within the week his ship had come to the meeting being held so that some reasonable accord could be met, the dignitaries had assembled and some of the Inspector General personnel were seated. Thumping down to the meeting in his gilded Powered Armor, his face stern, he entered the massive doors silently swinging open to let him in. His Soldierly escort ceased outside and waited.

All waited with baited breath. "Gentle folks of this assembly, as we all are aware, we have all been accusing each other of outposts ravaged, colonies destroyed, and ships left adrift and all with no one left behind to explain anything." he said letting that stand. the crowd murmured.

When they simmered down he spoke. "Yes, all suspicious, all ready to fight, but now we have proof that none of us is responsible!" the crowd erupted, accusations of cover up and lies shouted back and forth between the assembled sub groups. A gavel pounded, and shushed the crowd

"The first wave in images will be disturbing, it took us some study to ensure that the creatures are not Tyranids, and they are being handled by someone wearing what appears to be their own body parts, at first she may seem Human, but her footwear and actual skin tone says otherwise,", he said, letting it sink in, and then produced the images

"Exhibit A, their first wave of a large scale hit, unlike most of the past attacks this was a fairly large sized outpost and observation station"
[/img]
[/img]
[/img]

"As can be seen they attack fast with smoke launched by the female carrying the unusual wear and weapon, the design is unknown in our spheres, so they are Xenos." Romanov said. He had their attention now.

"As can be seen here, the attack were at this section of the outpost, the garrison fought a team in powered armor. the Amexadian garrison was unable to stop them closing in and engage in close combat, where the xenos were exhibiting great strength and power in their fighting."
[/img]
[/img]
[/img]

"The next images will show a single heavy armored xenos take out a full ten man squad alone, again a combination of firepower we have not seen before with armor technology superior to the garrisons'"
[/img]
[/img]
[/img]
[/img]

"As you can all see, a massive brute, and apparently in the same class of armor and size of a Terminator Marine."

"Here we see what appears the main and final wave, Officer and specialist classes mixed in with regular troops, and all more than a match for the poor garrison troops."
[/img]
[/img]
[/img]
[/img]

"These creatures show traits of a Simian, a Primate, powerful, savage, yet intelligent and with some form of culture for war.
[/img]
[/img]
[/img]
[/img]
[/img]
[/img]
[/img]

"The aggressiveness of Orks, with the power and tactical cunning of Marines, and technology bordering between Space Marines with their power and Tau level Technology, that combination alone is a potent threat." he searched the room. "But based on a warrior and hunting culture, they are not just collecting test subjects to study, but they are taking them as trophies and food."

The room erupted.

"We are looking at a new xenos threat, and they are getting bolder as they hit larger targets, security must be set to a full alert level, and that we must hunt them down and discover if they are a small raiding force, or are they are large empire making their move? Our agents are investigating as we discuss this

Good show (fluff and action shots).

Unsure, what may be an arrow can also be a laser weapon, kind of like Chewbaccas'

Here are some updated images of Eddak for folks to view. I need to light touch his exposed body so the brown does not blur with the dark red armor.

I was curious. The Human infantry a couple of posts above. What line do they come from? They look like they would make for some nice Imperial Guard grunts.

Thank you, I just feel my work adequate for tabletop gaming, not award winning stuff. Just to look good when they get to play.

Oh yes, I have a ton of them to catch up and paint on, they were the UAMC troopers from the line of Defiance Games, that company that collapsed due to mismanagement, the guy who started it, well while a nice guy to message seems to not get that all his ideas can be implemented as he thought, and things went sour, they also had Chinese Empire space infantry for a while, (resin), with resin issues. The UAMC are plastics. I bought basically a whole company of the soldiers and do use them as part of the IG force I have. They are troops from the Republic of Amexadia, a member state of the K.U.U.R. it is all in my fluff.
