2nd Edition Army Challenge IV: May

 

Hi folks,

It has been a surprisingly fruitful month on the hobby front. With wifey away on a bunch of work trips I have been whiling away the late hours painting. On the table this month were a battery of Rapier Laser Destroyers, their Servitor crew and an Engineer for my Adeptus Mechanicus. The Rapiers are pretty brutal in 2nd Ed.; not many things can match them for taking out vehicles. The trick is keeping them alive for long enough to do anything, they are utter glass cannons.

I have painted them using the scheme of my Grey Knights, firmly placing them in that portion of the list. the crew, however, is painted in my Mechanicus scheme, which kind of ties the two halves of the army together in my eyes. The servitor models are from Station Forge and are whimsical as heck; very 2nd Edition in vibe. I particularly like the guy with the mop and the one polishing the servo skull.

With the last couple of hours of painting time I knocked together this engineer to keep my Grey Knights Dreadnought upright and shooting.

Having honoured my original pledge for the challenge, I am left with a month to paint bonus models. I am hoping to pull out all the stops and finish really strong with some vehicles and something special.

See you across the table,

Marc
