From ArthurS: Lair of the Great Beast! ( 45 points)

 Hoi,

 

Arthur has taken the lead in our journey through the Chambers of Challenge into what will be our last stretch towards the Snowlord's Altar and as such we enter the Lair of the Great Beast.

Rather then take the obvious way of painting...well...erm...a monster, the Lad wanted to paint...more Space Marines. Okay, I said, fair enough they can be right monsters in their own way and you are cute with the curls and puppy eyes, but the Snowlord is not going to fall for that so you will need to include a true monster. He dove into his unpainted figure box and after some rummaging that made me flinch with every sound of plastic and white metal clashing together in an awfull cacaphony of soon-to-be-broken pieces, he came up with an impressingly appropriate figure.








These figures represent members of Arthur's Veteran Space Marine squad armed with all kinds of exotic and deadly wargear. Each one has a name and a story behind him which I cannot regale here sadly but they have entered the Lair and are confromnting some Alien Sci-Fi nasty monster creature. I have no idea what brand or type of beast this is we were given it by a good hobby friend (thanks JW!) and Arthur now found a use for it. 




That's 5 figures in 28mm scale so 25 points together with the 20 points bonus makes 45 points for the Lads tally.

And now we humbly ask from the Snowlord to be given a task to be deemed worthy of his graces.


Cheers Arthur and Sander

  4. Great Space marines! I'm sure they'll quickly over come the Xenos! And I like the blue power armour. One small downside of only panting historical minis is the few opportunities to stray far from real life colours. Unless one wants to go cross eyed painting landsknects!

    1. Yes one of the reasons that I paint sci fi and fantasy miniatures is the way you can let your imagination run rampant and enjoy some exotic colours for sure!
