Foxtrot: Light Grenade Launcher

Old sculpt

I confess- I got fed up with this model and tried to finish it as hastily as possible.  

Compared to the new version it looks quite dated.

Tankhunter- AP HMG

Stop!  Snarks!

Another Tankhunter finished.  Armed with an armour piercing HMG he should (hopefully) put down any TAGs and Heavy Infantry that stray into range.

Being an older sculpt he is also a bit cartoony but at a distance he looks fine... that's good enough for me!

It's time to cut the apron strings and try something new.

After spending some time painting some Shasvastii figures it was time to try out the Combined Army properly.

As I steadily painted more figures and rebased my Charontid (for N3) I did some further reading up on the Combined Army forums about its performance on the table top.  The chatter was not encouraging.  Low order pool.  Expensive elite units.  The consensus was that CA is a difficult faction to play.

Did someone just say difficult faction?  So I've moved from Morats to this?!

You're joking right?

Traktor Mul: Uragan and Katyusha

WALL-E gets an upgrade.

The club challenge was to paint models for the month of October.

I had been putting off painting these models for ages.  My excuse was that I was waiting for an airbrush to be able to highlight the domes of the remotes....

... Well the airbrush finally arrived and I could no longer make excuses.

I present the Traktor Muls!

Tankhunter- ADHL

Glueing down Snarks in The Zone.

An old sculpt- a bit cartoony- but still ok.

Getting away from USAriadna is a nice break.  A little bit of procrastination before hitting the big ticket models.

The Shrouded- Sniper.

I can Dere-lict my own balls!

Old sculpt.

Not a fan.

Not much more to say.

USAriadna: Maverick

Maverick... not Goose.

Well, I finished another model today.  

I'm going to count it as two- because it was so tricky to paint.

112 Doctor

That leg looks bad, let me help you with it.

Don't like the miniature, don't like the pose.

I'm not sure what it is about this guy that bothers me.  He would make a great 'survivor' miniature but as a member of an army... not so much.

Dozer- Combat Engineer

With Traktor Mul control device

Another figure completed.

This dainty figure is pretty good for an old sculpt.  I painted him in 'multicam' style to go with the USAriadna sectorial that is slowly building in size.

As a cheap specialist he will also allow me to bring some Urugan remotes and blast some armoured beasties to bits!

Roger Van Zant- Limited Edition

It won't hurt... much.

This guy is rather infamous to anyone who has played against Ariadna and had a nasty surprise walk on from an unprotected board edge.

One of my fellow club members was nice enough to put in a big order of Van Zant's for the lot of us during GENCON 2015 and I put in my order too.  I'm glad I did (despite the price tag) as he has turned out to be quite a nice model!
