So yeesh, it has been a godly time since i sat down and actually documented what i have been up to.
The reason is pretty much Two-fold.
New family situation, new Job. And, to be completely honest, a new sort of absurd obession with 30K. That recently resulted in me treated myself to about 500 bucks worth of Forge world. Damn, dem sicarians don't come cheap. But still, as my spirit animal advised
The thing about playing miniatures is that there is always an unspoken assumption that, no matter what system you game, you wish there was a higher quality of merchandise, even if it does cost a bit more. I suppose that equates to 40K being the cheaper mans choice, which is such a ludicrous statement that frost is forming in Dis as i write this.
Still, carrying on, when my package arrives i assume i will be so taken with it that i'll immediately buy an airbrush to give it the lavish attention it deserves.
As i left off, i was having some issues deciding on a point efficient HQ unit, playing against my buddies Tau, and against another mates Orks, i found that a cheap-o Succubus with the armour of misery and an archite Glaive in a group of incubi does alright. Just over a hundred points for AP2 and a 4+ 6++ (with the succubus getting a 4++ in CC) with the added benefit of a FnP roll on the turn that you (usually)get into combat.
But paying for a new modell was something of an aversion of mine, so i decided to simply kitbash one.
the end result was pretty satisfactory to me.
The body,arms and legs are all from spares you get from the venom kit. I rarely modell the "angry wyches hanging on the side of your ghetto-gunship" so i had a lot of little pieces to use. The Head is the much Coveted "daft punk" helmet you get for your reavers. The only difficulty is getting ENOUGH heads, as you usually want as much head as you can get from the reaver box......sorry, i couldn't resist.
The "archite glaive" is just a spare demiklaive that you get two from the Hellions sprue. I put it together with a custom Skull base that i give my Char's when i remember to and we're off to the races.
I'm thinking of doing some small "engravings" with a babybrush to show that it is the "armour of misery" but we will see when i get around to that.
Still, waste not want not. And that's a few bucks i can spend on some other inane part of the hobby :D
