Well. I did it. I got all ten of these bad boys painted. And have already needed to pin four of the ten maces, so I guess I have the next six to look forward to soon. I do like how they turned out though. Color coded them with their teleport homers so I don’t have to keep track of which is which.

The lettering was fun though!

Now I’m just stuck waiting for the weather to let me varnish everything. I have about 27 models sitting in my “to be varnished” tray. 😂

The main armies I play against feature a lot of deep strike forces, so uh. Here’s my solution. Had a lot of fun with these. Last two pictures have an intercessor for comparison, since I painted these guys much darker than my usual DA green.

Brothers, can I get some feedback on this before I go through and paint all ten of these little monsters? I was planning on doing some shields red (as in the last picture), some shields green, but here’s my first completed unit. I was a little clumsy on a few points (like the vertical band on the helmet) but I think I can correct that.

I think I like it, but some feedback would be appreciated.

I needed something that would pop against my dark brown bases, but I also wanted something that would stand out in my sea of green and bone. I think I like this shade of red!

So he’s just been sitting here, almost built for nearly a year, floating around my hobby room. I finally buckled down and magnetized his heads and got most of him painted. Just need to finish basing and paint up the Watchers.

I’m a bit torn on how to paint the watchers though. I think burgundy is kind of standard, but I’m thinking maybe a dark rich brown? They might look too much like Jawas then though, plus, my DA basing is mostly stirland mud. I don’t want them to blend too much.

Meh. I don’t know. This is part of why I waited so long to paint him. Indecisive!
