New group shot, to prove I've not been idle. Gives a good idea of how far I have to go. Of course it's only now I realize that one of the Archer stands is backwards in the picture...

Those look great, the subtle highlights on the shields are very effective in the group pic.

It's the E40k box photo all over again

Finished the first unit of Huns. Then back to the Romans (who have had the last unit of Legionaries painted since the last update).




I'm pretty satisfied.

New in progress army shots - only 2 Auxilia and an Archer unit left. Hurrah! I won't bore you with the new unit shots.



Interesting how much of a difference there is in the white horses between the two units - the brighter ones are what I wanted, to be clear. At least I got it right the second time. :wink:

I love it! This is truly an epic mob. what game do you use with these mini's? Also would you be willing to do a bat rep?

Blind-

Warmaster Ancients.

I would do a batrep - if my buddies would get off their duffs and get painting.

Very nice work on the Huns and the army is looking good.

This is a kick-ass thing.

Well, I was all excited to show off my assembled behemoth:



Then I knocked it over and it broke into a million pieces:














Just kidding. I'm at it again, the whole thing's magnetized.



Some notes: I used the same 5/32" diameter by 1/32" thick magnets I used on my Minervans (and made sure I got the right polarities to interchange parts if I want - Triple Exterminator UPV, mmmm). Some of these components are heavy. Each of the primary weapons has a stack of two magnets instead of just one, because they were falling off otherwise from a combination of weight and the unbalanced load prying them apart. The body has a stack of three at the waist (though in the future I'd do two in the waist and two in the legs), allowing the whole thing to be picked up by the body:



The downside? I'm down 36 magnets. And I'm still concerned about my plans for Laser Blaster proxies - I'm wondering how many magnets I'll need to make sure I can hang a single barrel slug cannon from a double barrel slug cannon from the arm joint to make a triple barrel.

that behemoth sure is something. Can't wait to see it painted.

where do you get your magnets?

It's a good looking piece, i to can't wait for some paint to be slapped on it. That head though i feel like it's lacking something, I am not a fan of it. The other head is rather nice though.

Blind-

I use Amazing Magnets.



Yeah, I was expecting the other head myself - the one I got is the Zho head, and it's a Marcovian kit. *shrug* I think I can make it look good with some nice blending in the vision slit.

Not sure on how I'll paint it yet, though I'm considering a neutral Grey with details in Blue, Red or Yellow. And black-green sensors and vision blocks. I particularly like the Grey and Yellow idea, though I may well give different behemoths different trim. It's mostly down to how I want to detail them now - where to put the color.
