I have a few units that I was saving until I got around to magnetising; yet the very fact that I hadn't bothered to put them in a list yet and that I clearly didn't have a strong opinion on what weapon they should have demonstrated it didn't really matter. So I just glued them.

In this case I went with the Autocannon and custom colours so I could have a go at ever using the Imperial Fists superdoctrine. It can try to blow up Ork Koptas or whatever while the apothecary goes for the geneseed.

Also kind of has "sherrif got drunk and took out the Invictor again" energy so maybe for the Gauntlet? It's either that or Yndrasta.

Have had these sitting around for a week or two. Only finally got some (ok) pics.

I've been calling him the "Frogmagorian Guard". The colors are a big experiment. Not sure I I like them, but they are alien looking. Hard to get all that armor symmetrical (it isn't) or the edges sharp (they aren't) and getting the arms matched and attached was a PITA. Really should have learn me some 3d sculpting. But I'm pretty happy with it. Something different.

And watch out! Mostly nekkid Diggaz to follow.

And of course more of the usual. Started this one hoping to get it done in time for the "Need for Speed" Gauntlet Challenge. Need more speed....

I think that green really works! Fun model too.

I went up to Yodobashi yesterday and bought some squig hoppers, and had a fun little evening assembling them. Lots of AoS people on Twitter are very deeply in love with anything to do with a plastic squig, and I'm really starting to see why. Just ridiculous amounts of character on these things.

I also got my preshading down on the Idoneth warband for Underworlds, and started in on the bases a little bit.
Feel free to call me Dave!

@Konrad - Don't be too hard on yourself, that Frogmagorian is awesome.

Yes, the Frogman is Great - very Dr Who-ish.

Frog marine looks great imo.

It's been awhile since I painted my hellhounds to a "tabletop" standard of three colors. Time to finish the job.
I started off by adding the sawtooth patterns to match with my other tanks. Then on to shading.

It bothers me slightly that the base white color is different between the tanks. They're both Bonewhite from vallejo, but the tank on the left was airbrushed and I did the hellhound with the spraycan version.

You just need to not tell people, or claim the Hellhound is newer to the front 😅

Working my way through the Dominion box. Also reminding myself making heavy use of metallics isn't that smart if you're not spraying them.

The big guys! I don't know if they do much after handing out some mortal wounds on arrival, but I respect their Gravis like energy.
