Today, I have a few models that needed finishing off, namely some Neophyte Hybrids, Acolyte Hybrids and Familiars.
I had painted up the Neophyte and Acolyte Hybrids a while back, getting up to the first highlight stage with the models before stopping. While painting up the new characters, it was a perfect time to finish off these models.
The Neophytes are just armed with Autoguns and can be used to expand my squads I already have.
The Acolytes are armed with Rock Drills and Rock Cutters. This gives my Acolyte units more combat punch and should help them to take on tough targets.
I also have a few Familiars ready to accompany my Patriarch and Magus into battle. Annoyingly, I have three of the same model. There is another version of the Familiar, but I managed to lose the head for it. I'll need to see if I can find a decent replacement in my bits box to give me a bit of variety.
Is it wrong to think Familiars are cute? They just look so impish and full of malicious glee. I wish I had three. What about some sort of ghoul or dark elf head for the missing one? No, wait! What about a spore mine as a head?! Or two of those Genestealer testicles glued together as a sort of snake head?
ReplyDeleteSometimes I really do worry about you Monkeychuka! However, I then see the beautiful work that comes out of your disturbed mind and I let it go.
DeleteThey are pretty adorable. I just kind of wish that there were more poses for them.
DeleteThere is another version, but as I said, he is a bit incomplete. I'll just need to make do with these guys. They do die easily though, so won't be on the table too long.
DeleteBlimey, you're knocking these out!
ReplyDeleteGreat work Mike.
Yeah, I was in the zone this last weekend and got a bunch of units painted up. Annoyingly, I ran out of one of my paints, so the Jackals got a bit of a delay until I could go and pick up some more.
