  • Elaborate! Elucidate! Evaluate!
First figures, two Atlanteans in armoured diving suits:





And the Four A Miniatures "Creature":



The Atlanteans are made from the new Games Workshop Dark Eldar Cabalite Warriors box. Plastic, and quite easy to modify. Not as versatile as I first thought, but still a good basis, and some design elements are very "aquatic". I just added some rivets and "gills/fins" from plasticard at some points, and painted it in various levels of brass with VMC Verdigris Glaze weathering.

Indeed. You've really made them look aquatic.

Those Atlanteans look great. That idea may be being poached somewhat. Might see what can be done with the wyches combined with the standard warriors. I'm sure I can pick a sprue or two up from friends.
So many projects..... so little time.......

Ooh, just looked at the Helions. Imagine them riding Manta Rays, with some weapon swaps etc...

Another use for the nice, albeit pricey GW chaos demons that look like skates!
