GW isn't stupid and knows that everyone owns 50 squillion stealers already. The new releases will be evil and insidious.Monkeychukahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13943869291884524172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125294933155144215.post-70544958344694790992015-11-23T22:23:17.773+00:002015-11-23T22:23:17.773+00:00And it's much more efficient this way too.

You can do all the same colour in one sweep and it's consistent too so your bases match across the entire batch. 40kaddicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12763647828123242837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125294933155144215.post-23831250673926212172015-11-23T22:22:03.448+00:002015-11-23T22:22:03.448+00:00That was me until I just switched it around for va...That was me until I just switched it around for variety and I've never looked back since. It also means I can do the bases and park them, it's a nice 'save point', base coats and washes is another, it helps to break up the tedium this sort of batching can bring. 40kaddicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12763647828123242837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125294933155144215.post-89806807647450516592015-11-23T22:19:46.261+00:002015-11-23T22:19:46.261+00:00Nah, they've just been in the to do box for a ...Nah, they've just been in the to do box for a while. A friend gifted me some of the original models and the others were part of other nid eBay wins so I ended up with 30 and thought it'd be cool to have enough to field both Leviathan formations. <br /><br />That said there were rumours around the Harlequin release there'd be a Genestealer cult release so these, alongside the cultists may well be of value. Also it means I won't be tempted by the rumoured new Genestealer box that may come out in the new year ;) 40kaddicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12763647828123242837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125294933155144215.post-13048928513914893902015-11-23T11:06:56.757+00:002015-11-23T11:06:56.757+00:00Is Genestealer rush coming back?
