Shadow War Armageddon- what Kill Team are you planning?

[AWu]

I am yet to paint one.. but Your comments sounds a little disheartening...

To be honest i considered them to be basket case, but started to build first one inspired by great BA on the cover art.
Ive just replaced scout heads with Skitarii ones. Finish is quite strange for any Space marine purist but heads ar most defined  and much better detailed part of the models now

I started painting one yesterday...and used the Scions heads, way better than the ones supplied with the kit.

[The Voivod]

Yeah, they're not perfect models, but they paint up fine.
And a decent paintjob goes a long way on many models.

Mine are going to be Blood angels, as they will be joining my larger army..... which I might strip and repaint at some point.

That scout is very good, as The Google Voivod says a decent paint job goes a long way.

(Edit: corrected auto correct  - will it last?)

Good replacing the heads as they are the bits I don't like on the plastics much improved thumbs up from me

Assuming you mean me, I can assure you I make consideraby less than "The Google."

A request for someone that has the new GW hive terrain.  I'm too cheap to by the GW kits so I'm going to do something on my own (3D Printed).  Can someone tell me the height from the table up to the "deck" on the GW stuff?  Thanks

I definitely like those Tempestous heads on the Scouts, especially the helmet ones.  I just found the rest of my Space Wolf heads for the scouts so I'm going to pop the heads off the ones that don't have them and put them on. 

Meanwhile here are some more cultists for the ever growing Genestealer cults.

[AWu]

Those guys faces looks properly evill 

[Dentatus]

Yeah, those cultists look great. (in the cruelest, most malignant sense of the word)

And the head swap on those scouts is such a simple but huge improvement.

I hate autocorrect (it knows I hate it, I type "I hate" and it suggests "autocorrect") ^__^.

I think the cultists are some of the best figs GW has done for 40K in a while.  I mean the plastic 30K space marines are great too but not so different from the other versions and the resin ones so tough call on those but these guys are new and fresh and evil looking.  They remind me of the Dark Eldar stuff in that they do look suitably evil without going way overboard.  Hardly a skull in the whole army.

I broke down and bought a box of cultists myself a couple weeks ago.  Haven't built them yet, but I've looked over the sprues and I completely agree.  Clearly they're bulkier and the design has evolved a bit from the vintage, but I completely agree about their quality.  Great figs and really seem true to vibe of the original source material.

They came up with a whole narrative to go along with the mining figures, which is really cool and if you don't like it you can always get the cult upgrade sprue and make empire flagellants, imperial guards men or whatever into your cultists.

It was a very well thought out and done release.  

Here are some pics of the Patriarch, not useful in SW:A normally, but I'm thinking we may do a game where he is the objective, like he is concentrating on sending mental snap chats to the hive mind of all the fun things to eat on the planet and the objective of the Imperial side is to disrupt him and then get the hell off of the table.  Like just hitting him once with a single shot will be enough to break the connection (Tyranid hive mind stuff working a lot like 1992 dial-up internet connections I suppose.)







I also wanted to do some of the neophytes like they started with darker skin.  I started with a US Olive Drab from Vallejo and then highlighted it with chocolate brown and then mixed some violet into that to give it a further highlight.

[Ultravanillasmurf]

They look very good.

I really do not need another set of figures, no really I do not.....

Maybe.
