Kornak Gazarot

Superior Warrior Officer... you had better believe it!
I finally finished Kornak.

In my adventures with the Morats in N2- Kornak was absolutely invaluable.  The Strategos Level 1 proved very useful and although I was pretty cautious with him- his Mk12 and NWI make him a tough nut to crack.

"Worlds Will Burn": Ko-Dali

Queen of the Zerg
This has to be my most favourite model of the Combined Army so far.  (Excluding the Morats of course).

The colour scheme worked out well and the model is fantastic.

She will definitely serve as the template for the new CA models being released this month.

The Exrah That Never Was: Vector HMG

Seen battle once... now retired.

Now with Exrah being retired- this little fellow will be a piece of history.

Daturazi 2.0: Sulla

No more pony tails... mind blown.
I finally finished the last Daturazi today.

Despite his silly pose- holding his rifle one handed- he is a good sculpt with plenty of detailing.

Charontid HMG: Harbringer

I am the vanguard of your destruction.
The Charontid is a heavy infantry model that comes with the very useful MSV Level 3.  This makes him ideal for hunting camoflauge markers and ODD troops that have been the bane of my existence since I picked up the Morat Sectorial.

Like the Skiavoros- he is cursed with glowing muscles- making him laborious to paint.  However, once completed- he doesn't look too bad.

Skiavoros: Sovereign

Plasma rifle.
I've started experimenting with the Combined Army and the Skiavoros was the first miniature I painted.  The challenge in the painting is in keeping a unified palette on such varied models.

This model I'll use as my Lieutenant.  With a plasma rifle and Ghost Mnemonica- he is an expendable Lieutenant who can take the fight to the enemy.

Daturazi 2.0: Virtus

Training that functional fitness- since yesterday.
My latest finished model- Virtus.

"Virtus" means "manly character" and was one of the most important traits a Roman man could have.  And considering that Virtus has as much free testosterone as a thousand weight lifters in the local gym, the name is quite apt.

A faction that sees itself as imperium sine fine- an empire without end- they must prize the masculine ethos highly.

Daturazi 2.0: Ischomachus


I pottered away on this guy over the course of a week- thinking he'd be a little bit easier since he isn't carrying a fire arm.  In fact, it just allowed me to distract myself even more with pointless internet browsing.  Next time I paint- I'll have to command that time and force myself to paint solidly instead of foolishly responding to click bait.

Ischomachus is an individual mentioned in Xenophon's ancient text "The Economist".  And whilst being a man of wisdom, he's also been on that bulk time too!

Daturazi 2.0: Aristophanes

Snap City?  I'm from Muscleville!!!
I've had this box of Daturazi sitting on my desk for months now and not been motivated to paint at all.  But after hearing about the new improved shotgun rules I decided to get some shotgun toting models ready for N3.

MOAB 2014: Is This Real Life? Serious Tournament Play In ITS2014

300 points ITS Spec Ops 12XP
This will be primarily a picture dump with a bit of editorialising as things come to mind.

And to keep you out of your suspense... I came dead last!
