Pretty happy with how this challenge went despite not doing all the bits I’d planned. After 6 months, I can’t complain about having close to 2000pts done :)
I did have one those big winged beasties planned, and a squad of hybrids on jet bikes too. Alas, time got the better of me and I had to make do with some easier bits.
The basic idea of this challenge was to get two armies painted up around a core of Genestealers.
Fat patriarch with his toady, magus, three squads of hybrids, and 30 Genestealers. All it needs is a couple of limousines ;)
Much more energetic and dynamic brood lord, 10 termagants, 3 tyranids, 2 biovores, 5 spores, and those same 30 Genestealers again :)
8mstill have a few bits to get done to fully round the army out, but as it stands I have enough to be playing with.
Time to get planning for next year’s challenge now. Perhaps some terminators to square off against them?
The greys and blacks, with almost no colours really works well. Congrats on another OWAC!
ReplyDeleteI also think the colors work really well! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant work on these.
ReplyDeleteThat Patriarch rules, I haven't seen many fully painted as part of a force, so cool. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant use of the limited colour palette, really cool results :)
ReplyDeleteMy, they are dark and brooding aren't they
ReplyDeleteOne things I always admire with your hobby projects Mus, as I know you are a very busy man, is the economy and efficiency of both the paint jobs, and the maximised options for gaming applications for the finished forces - and yet they are always spot on in terms of look and feel. Excellent hobbying, and a great OWAC :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a distinct looking force, and one of my favourite painting styles from this year. I just love the grimdarkness of it all. Great job - especially on those carapaces 👊
