Another month has passed and I continue down the hobby trail with a smattering of different armies. Let’s take a look…
Ufthak Blackhawk
This special character from Games Workshop is a pretty cool Warboss. He has a legend data slate so you can’t use him in most tournaments using his real rules, I am sure most opponents will be fine using him as a standard Warboss. I have switched to the slap-chop style for most of my minis.
Beastboss on Squigasaur
In my last game, I had a group of Squighog Boys with Mozzog and wanted another option to use the standard Beastboss. Also, I could use him with a second squad of Squighogs if I want to lean hard into the Beast Snagga build.
Necron Overlord
I started following the artist Napking on Cults who has some cool Necron proxies. I printed one of these guys out to fill gives me another Overload. I painted him the standard style. I am not impressed with the speed paint metals so some good old metallic silver for the win and some Vallejo Artic blue for the secondary color. I might go back and add some white to the lightning to give it more of an energy feeling. The weapon is done with a Holo Taco green nail polish.
Flayed Ones
Keeping with the Necron theme we have more models by Napking we have some flayed ones. I am not a huge fan of the flayed one by Games Workshop and these alternates were so cool that I picked them up. I need to go back and give the rocks a green tint like my other Necrons but other than that I am happy with these guys. I eventually need a full set of twenty of these but three is good for a start. I am not completely happy with the head Napking used so I tried some warrior heads. It still is not 100% but I will keep working on it.
Ophydian Destroyers
It wasn’t all Napking models that got some love this month. I painted up some Ophydian Destroyers begging for paint for years. These guys look like old wraiths but with axes instead of claws. They fight for a slot on the field against Skorpek Destroyers and Wraiths. They just are not as good as either of the other options so while I think they are neat they might sit on the display shelf for some time.
Sagitaur
To clear the palate, I took some time out to paint my fourth Sagitaur so I could bring two squads of mobile warriors if I wanted. This version has wheels giving me two with wheels and two with tracks. I also added a red panel for easy identification. Looking at the photos, I now need to touch up on the glass supports. Easy fix.
Tuskboss on Gore-Grunta
Lastly, I just finished this big honking model, the Tuskboss on Gore-Grunta. While I am not a fan of the whole boar riding part of the Ironjaws, I really have not found something that fills the size and menace. If it was easy to put them on some Dracoliths or other dragon-like monsters I would switch them out. For now, here is my Tuskboss.
Well, that is all. It's not a huge haul but some nice any progress is good progress. Any paint helps slay the grey and that is the goal. Have a good one and we’ll circle back here in a month.
