Necron Deathmarks from Warriors

So because I am a bit of a tight wad I decided to get some Necron warriors to convert into Deathmarks using the spare parts from the Immortals/Deathmark kit. I got hold of an Imperium magazine with some Necron warriors unfortunately the set I got only had 4 sets of legs - so can only have 4 Deathmarks (I hope to get another set of legs). Fortunately according to the Kill Team compendium a fire team of Deathmarks only needs 4 - so all good 

I needed a to smooth and fill out on the edges so that the chest pieces matched to the rear torsos. Then I used the rear rib guards and the spines from the warrior’s rear torsos to extend the front shoulder pauldrons and a filler on the Deathmarks back. 

The finished Deathmarks (apart from painting obviously) - the arms did struggle to get around the chest so some green stuff was needed to make it look so they didn’t have dislocated shoulders. Happy with these - but I would like another pair of legs.

Game night - BSG and Munchkin

The full collective met up last night at the Tiger-King’s for a go at Battlestar Galactica (for the first time in ages). The group enjoy BSG but it has been a while since we last played. 

The hidden Cylon mechanism provides plenty of banter as the blame game goes around - however for the first half of the game even the destiny deck was helping humanity escape - we were also helped by the fact in the first round of identities we were all humans - of course this meant when the second set were dealt 2 of us would be Cylons.

So I ended up as a Cylon so took the opportunity to reveal my identity so I could use the Basestar orders - while Sylon (who was the other Cylon) was trying to put Tiger-King in the brig. There had been a little error with the placement of refugees ships - but this was resolved and the Cylon fleet destroyed them - wiping the cursed humanity from the galaxy. Win for the Cylons.

Then we a a few rounds of Munchkin - which DK had been sending negative vibes about - but was generally considered to be an amusing game, so will get to the table again some time.

A jolly splendid evening of games, banter, some lovely food by Tiger-king’s wife and too many beige snacks….

Chaos Space Marines - Speed Paint

I have been spending a bit of time recently assembling things as I am not sure what I want to paint. However as I had finished the Chaos Cultists, I thought that I should finish the or start the Chaos Space Marines - I also thought that it would give me more practice with the speed paints. 

So I managed the 3 with the chainswords - went for a mainly red scheme, but I thought that a few other colours would make them less uniform looking- more Chaos-y.

In retrospect the speed paints were a bit fiddly with all the deals on these - I had dry brushed white over a black undercoat. The reactivation of the speed paints can help and hinder the painting process and means I have to get some spray varnish as when I varnished the chimera some paint was lifting. There are two more marines to paint.
