Rank and File: Month 2
Let's kick the month off with some gribbly action from some squigs...
This guy 👆 is an Epic scale beast or demon of nurgle, but fits in well :)
Some herding action from some herders, to keep the squigs in line!
This guy sports a metal right arm from Gorkamorka (I think). I liked the arm up pose so much I gave it to quite a few characters. Including this guy 👇
A bit of a shame that the shape of a handle of a gun can still be made out, but ho hum... The face on the backplate was mainly an accidental splurge of ink/wash which dried in the approximate shape and I just accentuated it. A happy little accident!
Here they are with their herd of gribblies
Some Nobs join the fray - and about time too, the bois are running amok!
In serious though, I had painted these Nobs in the first month, as part of the warlords retinue.
But, I'm not feeling great when sat at the painting table... I think I spend a lot more time just looking at the models in the paint queue! As a result I'm leaning on these boys to give me a little more time to paint up more rank and file. R&F is usually something I quite enjoy, especially if they're monopose. Ho hum!
Some heavy support with the plasma
This grizzled veteran is majestic AF., and my personal fave.
This guys a proper vet, with the scars to prove it.
Mega armour, a crushing fist and a big gun. What more could a nob ask for? Massive ankles? Check!
Here's a shot of all the nobs mixed in with the guys I painted before the start of the Army Challenge. The photo is too good not to include!
Although there's a bit of discrepancy between them - I used a lot more white in the yellow highlight - I think they fit in well enough. I did add some flames to the shoulder pads of the previously painted nobs to match the new blood :)
I hoped to have a few more heavy weapon boys this month, but it was not to be...I hated painting this guy. He's taken at least three or four times as long as he should have, and as such he's a little rough and ready, but ready he is! Fire in the hold! Brace! Etc etc.
Painboy. This guys an absolute savage. A pair of scissors. Scissors! Eesh...
Anyhow, I'm sure he and the runtherds have colluded with the mek for a big projekt. Hopefully whatever it is will be along soon.
Anyhow, that's it for this month. I hope I can plug out some moar boys for next month - especially more 'eavy weaponry (most of those are sitting half painted on the table. I just need to push on through!).
Fingers crossed, also something squig related!
Cheers!
