Steamroller Tournament Results

I was running two lists, both made up on the fly.  I had little experience with my Aby T4, and the one time I played pLylyth... well... you'll see.  It wasn't pretty.  I also didn't have my camera, so I'll be picking a random photo that best represents the general feel of each game.  Enjoy.

My lists:

Absylonia
- Shredder
- Stinger
- Harrier
- Carnivean
- Angelius
- Seraph
Forsaken x3
pLylyth
- Shredder x4
- Carnivean
- Seraph
Striders + UA
Strider Deathstalker
Forsaken
Shepherd

Rawr. Or so I'd hoped. Boy, was I wrong.

Attention: Free stuff!

Who doesn't like free stuff?  I know I do.

Ret Heavy Warjacks

... do not pose well.

Actually, they do:

Col_Festus' Discordia

Col_Festus' Phoenix

ThorkaTor's Hydra

Since they're all mostly ball and socket joints, they're actually very poseable.  I assembled the stock legs and pinned them to a base (without glue).  I then had some fun with sticky-tak.  I give you...

The "Dukes"
Put 'em up... Put up yer dukes!

The "Punch You in the Face"
Which looks a lot like my Chimera



The "Armblades are Cool"


I actually really like the Dukes pose, but it only works for the Hydra, and I need this chassis to be a Hydra/core.  Those are the three (somewhat) original poses I could think of.

Combined with the couple above, which do you like best?

Think you have an awesome pose I should try?
