From DrQ: The Guardroom (50 points?)

Moving to the Guardroom, here are a unit of Kharadron Overlord endrinriggers. These chonky bois function in a unique capacity of flying cavalry that can repair the sky vessel of the Kharadron. That is to say, their role is to guard the gunships.


These guys are fun to paint. They are base coated in Vallejo gunmetal and then glazed of Citadel Gryphon-hound contrast and the old Guilliman Blue to get the colours before spot highlights of Vallejo silver. Instead of flight stands, they sit on various bits from CMON Wrath of Kings War Stompers that I picked up on a ridiculous sale earlier this year. 

As for points: the endrinriggers sit at 75mm tall so I'm scoring them as 28mm cavalry for 10 points each or 30 points total, plus 20 for the area. So, a total of 50 points.

Also another 30 points for the GW side duel! WooHoo!

Now onto the Armoury Gallery of Ancestors!

  1. These guys look like something that DrQ would use to guard his Bond Villain secret lair. The6 also look great.

  2. Very cool! I love the metallic effect combined with the spooky green glow. What technique do you use for the green?

    1. Thanks! I paint the glowing balls white as a base. I then paint them VMC yellow green and then the edge and overflow with a 50/50 mix of VGC escorpena green and matte medium. Sometimes I need to clean up the middle with more yellow green so they pop.
