A new army?

A Xenos army in my collection? The sheer heresy of it! Luckily, it's not mine, so the commissar doesn't need to worry himself. This is actually my son's army and is the total from the two 9th edition starter sets. 

The complete force

At the moment the force is only a patrol sized force as there are only enough warriors for two squads.

The HQ's, Royal Warden and Overlord

Warriors with Gauss Reapers

Warriors with Gauss Flayers

Two squads of Scarabs.

Skorpekh Destroyers and Canoptek Plasmacyte

A close up of the Plasmacyte, as I'm quite proud of this one. I think the rubble underneath looks and contrasts nicely with the model itself. 

A couple more pictures of the HQ's, showing their extra bling. These guys got some gold treatment to make them stand out a bit more from the bill of the models.

The force is only very basically painted, with a black prime, with a heavy dry brush of Leadbelcher, followed by a lighter dry brush of Runefang Steel. The blue is a Revell gloss blue. The blue isn't actually as noticeable on the actual models, it's a lot darker in colour, which is a shame as it looks really good on the pictures, more how I would have liked it. There will have to be a couple more purchases to really get it up to a good 1000 point list. There needs an additional troops choice, most likely Immortals, some proper fast, hopefully Tomb Blades and a good heavy, probably some Destroyers or maybe a heavy destroyer. Either way,this lot should give him a decent list that can challenge any of my 1000 point lists and any that the guys down the club can bring too.
