It's 6mm Warhammer 40,000, NOT Epic 40k!
March draws to a close and as promised I have prepared a little battle report.
Before we get to that though, let's look at the fresh paint. I took March as my Leader month, so please be up standing as the Dominatrix enters the fray. This creature, the Norn Queens planetside representative is a threat so significant that she lacks rules in 40k, relegated to Epic, so she is mostly here to cast a long shadow, but she has not come alone! A pack of Tyranid warriors are at her side and they certainly will be joining battle! The Warriors, clocking in at 55 points each, add another 275 points to the roster, by 2e reckoning.
The Dominatrix is a wonderfully strange miniature with no modern equivelent to compare it to, the throne or sarcophagus on the beasts back contains a Tyranid brain beast and gives the monster the look of a funeral barge.

And Finally a glamour shot of the encounter! Tune in next month for genestealers, Biovores and more!
Fantastic to see these guys in battle! I also like the idea of scaling down 40k as an alternative to Epic rules.
ReplyDeleteThose battle shots are really evocative. Really brings the project to life!
ReplyDeleteShe's a thing of beauty; obviously too much beauty to describe in mere *rules* !
ReplyDeleteIs it not possible to translate her basic stats by comparison with other models, I wonder? Is there something of similar "killability" that you could borrow Toughness and Wounds from, and so on? Points might be tricky but when has a Warhammer points system ever worked! ;) Just a thought.
Lovely to see a battle report. I have literally a thousand painted miniatures that have never seen a battlefield, so good on you. (I also have a thousand or more that have, I did used to play a lot!)
