'nids part 192 - Termagants - baker's dozen - TO DONE!

Obviously I got these done, I probably need to start using these as my defacto big brood, they're much nicer than the 30 I first did, then again I can be pretty rough and ready with those. I actually just upended the foam tray they were in at ToS as the quickest way to remove them, then put 6 back in and I was good to go.

Still, I'm pretty impressed with these and it's nice ot have something completed.

It's also nice to mix in the Hormagaunts for a bit of variety.

Here are some comparissons between the three generations of adrenal gaunts, oldest on the left to newest on the right.

There's a marked difference between oldest and 2nd gen, but less noticeable between 2nd and 3rd.

All the gaunts.

"They're flocking this way"

You can at least see the variety the HOrmagaunt bodies bring in this shot.

The Genestealer donor head.

Bounding leap.

Some phone shots too, for comparison.

So, there we go another big green tick. It may have been off list but they're doneand it's nice to add a bit of quantity [ten is still significant to me] to what I can only say is quality, although the Imperial Knight could be considered volume...

 

Throne of Skulls March 2016 - Painting competition pics

The painting competitionat Throne of Skuls was particularly tough this time as cabinet size have been reduced meaning the best army nominations are only the top three. Otty, Liam and I all got honorable mentions [I only got Liam's name in the slideshow] but didn;t make the cut. In the various other categories I particularly liked the colour pallete in these Tau, the variety in the bases, weatherin gand colours.

Liam's Tau Riptide unit, easily overshadowed my Carnifex trio.

These Juggers [counts as bikes] were pretty awesome too.

Deathleaper's Assasin brood.

Black Templars on those proprietary Griffons, I liked these.

Imperial fists, they were flawless.

This was ultimately the overall winner and rightly so.

Alexis Pollux also won the best individual model.

And there was a Warhound too.

I'd seen this chaos army on Facebook leading up to the tournament. It wwas pretty imperssive too.

Kytan was awesome.

And the Bloodthirster was no slouch either.

Jamie Farquhar was the third nominee with his Iron Warriors.

I've got the head of one of his Marines to go on a base, I couldn;t see the genestealer hea dI gave him for a trophy for his base.

Liam's name in lights!

All the weekends carnage points.

The unexpected winner, our mate Scott.

He's absolutely no idea what he's won.

Pretty Epic trophy huh?

As I said, this guy played Scott in the last game, he gave Scott the best player award meaning he went from being first to second and allowing Scott to win!

Scott with the Trophy.

Me with the trophy.
