This way you can actually see the eyes!

Man, I still love the way those MKIII backpacks look with the extra wrist plates. Gotta remember that for my traitors

No wrist plate here! That's just what the Traitor Champion backpack looks like.

And I return to Alpha Legion with... Terrain?!

Yes, believe it or not, this Skyshield Landing Pad is part of my army! I've not checked 3.0 yet, but in 2.0 this monstrosity is a 75 point fortification that's a solid competitor in the "worst points for money" contest, and is pretty bad just in general, being very fragile and only really providing improved deep strike on top of it.

It is, however, very cute. And shockingly big! So much so it didn't really fit on my paint station and I had to do much of the painting in my lap. The paintjob is sort of rough, but surprisingly enjoyable, and I think more terrain may be in my future.

Trivia: this abomination has something like 56 lanterns. Yep, I painted the ones on the underside too. FML. But now we're back to form!

And clearly too big to put in your fridge for pictures!

BY FAR too big!

Don't worry, fridgeposting will be back...

Time for an especially appropriate post. Dakka dakka on Dakkadakka!

love your AL

This one was a bit tragic. Dropped it when it was almost done. Last minute battle damage!

Here's a new unit, actual OG resin Tartaros restored to glory!

These guys are super interesting. Their scale is essentially identical to the plastics. I love the more expressive posing on these, though the plastics coming with a sergeant so fancy he can double as a centurion is a nice perk.

The most interesting change though is the hip. It makes the resin ones feel a lot bigger than the plastics even though it's just because their hips are so wide.

What made the OG Forge World designer decide that these suits are worn by Pixar mums I can only guess at, but hey, I am not judging. The Emperor's plans are truly beyond us.

And here's the next already!

Though not intended to be the same character, I was heavily inspired by Archontas Origo for this one. I find it interesting that it is the AL of all people who have been depicted using the Relic Contemptor (though during 30k it's not become a relic yet, I suppose) but since I had the model, I am not complaining!

Contemptors are always a joy. And so, so fast to paint, since they aren't very large.

Today: Exodus, the Assassin!

Because I am clumsier than a Charonite trying to tie his own shoes, I managed to drop Exodus and smash his antenna to absolute smithereens, so that is why I had to emergency repair it with a Nuncio-Vox antenna instead. His rifle barrel I also couldn't get perfectly straight again... but he lives!
