This week, I also managed to complete a unit of Metamorph Hybrids for my Genestealer Cult army. Even though these models take a while to paint with all the details, they are a joy to paint as I think they really come to life when completed.
With these models, I have been trying to get them done to a decent tabletop standard. I have not picked out every single detail on the model, but I think they still look good. For example, I have left some of the hoses and buttons the same colour as the armour. I don't think this detracts too much from them, as they could get a bit too busy with all the details picked out (at least, that's my excuse!).
Here are some work in progress photos.
And here are the finished models.
They look great dude, really nice scheme and contrasts in the colours :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Carl, I was really pleased with how they turned out.
DeleteHave you played any games with the Metamorphs yet? I'm looking at their stats and thinking of giving them a pass.
ReplyDeleteHaven't played any games with the Cult yet. Thought I'd build at least one unit in case they are good.
DeleteLooking good - are you painting /building with a final list in mind, or just going with the flow of what takes your fancy?
ReplyDeleteAlso, what do you use for the basing?
No list in mind at the moment. I've been flicking through the index to get some ideas when building each squad, so will probably just go for a bit of variety until I start playing games.
DeleteThe basic are just some dark grey flock at the moment. I do plan to add some other stuff, I just need to decide what to add. I was thinking of some light brown static grass, or someone suggested some snow effects. I might have to play around and see what works.
They look goooooooooooood man :) Currently selling mine because I just can't handle the amount of models on the battlefield without getting frustrated but I'm very much looking forward to your first batreps!
ReplyDeletePS: Mining/Rock (?) Drills are AWESOME!
Cheers Chris. That's a shame you are getting rid of them. I've actually been watching a few battle reports online and it is getting me more excited for getting them on the table.
DeleteI think all three of the mining weapons rules look great, but the drills do look fantastic.
I painted a batch of 10 of these guys last year. It really does take it out of you! (why do they have to have so many arms!). They're looking good though.
ReplyDeleteCheers Blazmo. So many arms.
