Lovely Octet and if you want to stay on the theme of Eight, you may paint them in Octarin Great kitbashes and cool to know you have the rules already sorted out.

Another wicked looking batch of minis. Awesome stuff.

Where these guys are going, Color Out of Space would probably be more appropriate. Now how does one paint ulm again

Thank you both.

Just been catching up on the last few pages. DG looking good as ever, love the failed librarians. Really enjoying the techno-barbarians, lovely builds and a really evocative paint job.

Cheers, monkeytroll.

I'm aiming to get at least one of the newer technobarbarian teams painted during February for a casual painting competition, though the effort is getting thwarted by a desire to paint more Epic as well now that I've gotten to demo it a bit more for some prospective players in my area

*tiny robot noises*

As for that "more Epic", make some tiny engine noises as three adorable battlefield busses roll out. A quick afternoon job with a trio of Triarii for the Mechanicum.

Always loved that art deco tank design, I wish they had a bit more of that look in the 40k Mechanicus vehicles.

Yeah, the 30k aesthetic of AM is indeed lovely. The currently produced 40k line is a bit more on the 1950's killer robot movie side of things and less on Jules Verne, which is a bit of a bummer.

Crusading on. While the Iron Warriors got a bit of a double-spanking in row from the XIV, they did however discover the famed wisdom of the Panzer of the Lake. Twice they drove their Predator to the shore only to have it blown up by Ancient Hertz' guns, but after all this it did learn to reroll 1's in the future

Lookit that hot Terminator on Terminator action. Great pics!

Cheers. The CSM codex can't arrive soon enough, the difference between the forces is really telling. Though it looks like the IW outnumber the Echoes badly, Eberhard's veteran squad absolutely tore any takers apart by the end.

AM vehicles look great!

Lovely game shots, maybe replace the machine spirit of the tank? Is the warranty still going?

Thanks!

We did try to switch it off and on again

Been a tough spring thus far, with personal and international crises on the rise, but I did finally manage to squeeze some painting in.

The Dancing Circuit of the Church of the Ravenous Spark, M29, dancing on the glowing ashes of Old Earth. Before their eventual demise before the Thunder Legions, their arcane mastery over reality-bending quantum field technologies was feared far and wide amongst the warlords of the era.

Like those skirts and the concept in general. The helmets are really cool too! Nice!

Those are LEGIT. Love the burning blades and eyes. The markings (star constellations?) on the cloaks are superb.

Hope life levels off for you.

Thanks Vejut and youwashock. I wanted the models to have some common esoteric signifiers on them to show that they come from a shared community, being a religious group after all. The scarred skin would have gotten too messy if I tried to go for tattoos, so the robes would have to do. I also like that the constellation symbols sort of resemble what you'd see on a circuit board (at least if one squints ), bringing their galvanistic worldview together.

All of this!

Cheers Boringstuff, always nice to hear

Genuinely terrifying! Nailed that techno-barbarian look. Basing is super on-point too.

Now that's a scary warband And I can't add anything the others having said before, so I will be content with "Amazing work"!

Thanks Don. The basing is pretty much just cheating here, a glob of pigments splattered over some sand

Appreciated, Viterbi. Old Earth wasn't exactly the kind of place that would create the friendliest individuals

Amazing crew, really fearsome kitbash - and that's before the grim af paint and really wonderful robe freehand, plastered over with weathering

Cheers Boss!

Admittedly, there's no freehand but only some 100+ little Titanicus decals arranged on those robes... Legio Astorum's constellation markings felt suitably circuit board-y

That is smart. I feel like properly applied decals anywhere but marine shoulder pads will always amaze me. Sorcery, I tell you.

Lovely table - I really like your recent Dancing Circuit and the lore blurb. Looks cool dude

Decal softener, the second "liquid talent" after brown washes

Wow they look so cool. I love the swirling motion of the last guy.

The electro priest conversions using the Unmade is a really, really great idea! Love them.

Thanks, Olthannon. I'm dreading the day that chain gets snagged onto something and snaps off

Cheers, ph34r. The kits fit together pretty painlessly, though it still takes a good amount of chopping to add some bare legs in the mix.
