I have also decided that I will go with a desert theme with them, and that I will be basing all the units including vehicles…. we’ll have to see how that goes!!!
My Ork Airfield Defence Force will also be in a desert theme so that I can inter-mix units.
I am currently reading and enjoying John Birmingham’s Weapons of Choice, the first part of the Axis of Time Trilogy.
It is not high brow science fiction and anyone who has seen the film the Final Countdown will be having deja vue.
There are a few references to Harry Turtledove’s World War series which aren’t really needed and of course there are a lot of similarities between the two books.
Having said that it is a fun read and I will be looking forward to the next two books.
You can get the book in the UK from Amazon
I have undercoated my Epic Squiggoth all in black, which is unlike my 40K scale model in which the creature was undercoated white and the howdah in black.
Another view.
Though I have had the model for some time, I wanted to surprise my opponent so I have not put any details out about it.
It is a superb casting and well sculptured and in my opinion a much nicer model than the bigger version (can’t spell Gargantuan).
Today I had a chance to use it in a game and yes my opponent was surprised.
You can find out how I painted it here. Here is a picture of work in progress.
There is still some work to do on it, but it is virtually finished.
Really like this Epic Imperial Manticore model.
An explorer in the ruins of a pyramid…
