Gangle was ina crash before the circus and that's why she's injured right?
​
Am I a smooth brain or is it really unclear how she went from recovering to in C+A's presumably abandoned office to put on the headset?
Posted my Argal Tal last year but I only had a really bright and poorly suited green base for the photo, so now I've taken new ones with less garish colours.
​
Always love this model, Argel is my boi and I loved his and Cyrenes arc.

I've been playing a tonne of admech 2 lately.
​
However I can't see a use for the archeotech fragments, I'm on 8 and can't see a use for them nor any way to interact with them.

I wanted a whole squad of 10 lightning claws for my force and reasoned the best way was the warp talon kit.
​
I love the combination of these with the alternative MK4 heads with the runes.

Onager done
Absolutely adore this model, think I did a good job of it
Also no airbrush, it was all brush, which makes me super proud 🧡

Tech priest manipulus for my Ryza force!
I wasn't sold on this model at first, but I did actually rather enjoy painting her, so by the end I've decided I actually quite like her.
It was fun painting all the weird little esoteric details, and I'm particularly happy with the dead skin on the arm.
Pteraxi done!
Mostly painted at night while the baby slept 🤣🧡
Love the Ryza colour scheme on these guys. Took quite a lot of thought to get it how I wanted but it's all good now, and I love the contrast of light and dark.

It was strange seeing a skitarii alone and damaged.
Funebrix 8 was an industrial world of dark metal spires, ruddy orange sand and scarce flora and fauna save for the shabby imported air scrubber plants and the insects required to keep them alive.. It had been shattered by orbital and air strikes before the multitudes of the Imperiums land forces began their invasion.
The battlefield was littered with countless corpses, the enemy, battalion after battalion of turncoat PDF forces emboldened by legions of mutated monsters, the astra militarum and the mechanicus forces. The fine particles of the orange sand was thick and dense with coagulating blood.
This sector of the battlefield was
dominated by a hill, so large it could almost be called a mountain, bristling with entrenchments, dug outs and hard points. From the vantage of the hill a force atop it could see incoming foes from miles away. The Astra Militarum forces had been repulsed repeatedly as the enemy had caused horrific casualties. After the 3rd attack was repulsed despite an additional armoured regiment being brought in to assist, the Mechanicus forces were called in to assist, as they were the best equipped and trained troops in this sector, despite the jealousy of the Militarum command.
The Astra Militarum had been repulsed as the only point of access to the higher reaches of the mountain was a thin road that was lined with pillboxes and the dug-in enemy. There was no natural cover from the enemies guns above them, and the only cover now was to hide in massive craters caused by heavy ordnance or the still burning shells of disabled tanks. The only survivors of the first 3 attacks got away by the cover of darkness as night fell, when they returned their eyes were empty shells devoid of any personality or sense they might have had before.
The skitarii cohorts had no such concerns, marching straight up the hill in calm formations returning fire as they marched. Even when faced with gruesome wounds from anything from small arms, anti tank and artillery shrieking all around them they marched towards their objective, strategically storming trench after trench. Even as they were ripped to ribbons by this myriad of arms from all corners of overlapping fire they returned fire and pressed on. Right up until they were on the outer lip of the first ridgeline's main trench, firing at point blank, standing bloodied, battered but vicious.
And so it went on, trench by trench, bunker by bunker. Until the sector was mostly quiet, a few desultory artillery shells roared into their sector but the efforts were unguided and I concentrated as the artillery spotters that had fought to defend the hill were either dead, or wounded and currently dying unimaginable slow deaths at the hands of the Skitarii forces irradiated weaponry.
At the base of the hill squad of Astra Militarum soldiers sat atop a burned out chimera, they were hastily sent into the sector in case the Skitarii failed and the line behind them needed holding. The soldiers had seen the skitarii’s unstoppable advance. They had watched as a full battalion of 2000 Skitarii plus supporting elements were ground down to a bloody scrap of their starting number. Less than 50 ravaged and broken figures finally made it to the top of the hill, none of them were without wounds to either their flesh or their augmetics, most had suffered damage to both, oil and blood mingling to make the sand of the planet thick and sticky where it landed.
A lone Skitarii wandered back down the hill, limping on a shattered leg stumbling like a drunk alone towards friendly lines, an arm still made primarily of flesh was cradling its own dismembered bionic arm. Both its arms were damaged but curiously despite the fact the flesh arm was bleeding from multiple jagged shrapnel wounds it still clung onto the deactivated severed limb like someone might cradle a baby during a house fire.
The Skitarii's face was covered by a mask fully hiding its face and hiding its emotion, but from its body language it still looked saddened. The Skitarii’s face plate was also peppered with shrapnel damage, one eye lens was blown clean though, leaving a large gaping hole that had cut down to flesh below, the gash in the mask framed the horrific flesh wound. Clearly what was beneath that lens was not yet replaced with bionics.
The Skitarii’s head dropped, and it was limping on ravaged motors and torn metal that constituted its lower legs. More than anything it was the sound that shook the nearby troopers. Usually binaric blurts were short sharp affairs, a brief wall of noise like an insect flying too close to your ear. But the sounds made by the Skirarii sounded like a hornet trapped in an echoey room, drawn out and almost plaintive.
The skitarii stopped wandering after a while and sat there alone, cradling its shattered arm. Skitarii were almost always found in the company of other combat units or their Mago’s, their squads seeming like their families, yet this one sat alone by itself in the sand..
It sat entirely motionless awaiting a tech priests' ministrations, however the adepts of mars had taken heavy casualties in the assault and were now spread far too thin to mount an effective triage and recovery of damaged units.
So the skitarii sat there for 14 standard Terran hours, motionless, and occasionally blurting out a pained binaric squawk. It was getting more and more coated in the orange dust with every hour that passed, until it almost became part of the scenery. Eventually a tech priest stumbled upon it while scouring the battlefield, it ran an auspex to triage the unit, then froze completely as it ran calculations. Once its calculations were complete the tech priest jerked to life, leaned down and lifted the skitarii in both arms almost cradling the damaged unit and took them to the repairs depot.
Finished my serberys raiders around the end of April, and totally forgot to post them, as we had our first child on the 1st of May and posting on social media somewhat fell down my to do list 🤣
But here we have my first squad of Raiders. I love these models, love the sulphur hounds as well but I adore Skitarii with the ranger hoods, they're so dang cute 🥺

Y'all ever just go f***ing mental with conversions just for the heck of it??? This WAS a necromancer this morning, and then my bitz box happened at him 😂
Here is a tech.... Thing.
Probably gonna use him as an enginseer or tech archaeologist.
Really love this model, it looks so fun 😊
Preyton for my beastmen
Beautiful model and really fun to work on. It was really nice to cut loose and go crazy with colours.
Also I am so happy with the blood effects.
It's UHU glue, covered in about 10 layers of gloss varnish and blood for the blood god (alternating).
It's a really fun effect and I think it looks awesome!
