Superglue and Sand

Huzzah!  I assembled some models!  Look!


There's Tyrant Xerxis, Aptimus Marketh, a minimum unit of Beast Handlers and a Master Tormentor.   Xerxis was a pain.  several of his parts are very close and don't give much wiggle room for getting pins in, etc.  The model is awesome though.  

Painting:
The two Cyclops Savages are done and count for a total of 10pts for March.  Yay!  My 10pts for April will be the rest of the battlebox: pMorghoul and the Titan Gladiator.

I'll be sticking with the standard scheme - but I'm not 100% sure about how I'll do the Gladiator's skin.  I'm thinking a nice grey with lots of brown washes for the scars and wrinkles.  Suggestions?

Converting:
The Blackhide Wrastler will be on the dissection table.  I've been instructed to follow this tutorial, but since this is the Genteel Collective of Gator Folk, we won't be stopping there.  This guy is also getting a top hat and french cuffs (at the very least).

Lastly, the Snotling Pump Wagons are under way.  I've tested a theory on manufacturing wheels, and I'll have a post about it once I've followed a wheel through to completion.  

Wonderful things are coming.  Stay Tuned!

Twins!

So, except for a few minor details (which you never realize you missed until you take pictures), these two are done except for basing.  Tell me what you think!

Master Plan Part Deux

Xerxis is only half the equation.  The 50 pt tournament is a 2-list, Divide and Conquer type event.  So I need a second list.  I'm a pretty bad player already, so adding more warlocks is not a good idea.  Plus, I like Skorne's beasts, so pMorghoul is a good choice.  Since I have a slow grow type list progression for Xerxis, I won't do one for Morghoul.  Instead, I have a basic 50 pt list.

Master Tormentor Morghoul (*7pts)
* Cyclops Brute (5pts)
* Cyclops Savage (5pts)
* Cyclops Savage (5pts)
* Bronzeback Titan (10pts)
* Titan Gladiator (8pts)
Cataphract Cetrati (Leader and 5 Grunts) (11pts)
* Tyrant Vorkesh (3pts)
Paingiver Beast Handlers (Leader and 5 Grunts) (3pts)
Venators Reivers (Leader and 5 Grunts) (5pts)
* Venators Reiver Officer & Standard (2pts)

Here's a run down of the list...
