A unit a week 2 – More ghouls!
Yes, more ghouls for the ghoulkin!
The rules of my weekly challenge state I can split large units into several weeks, as long as each entry meets the minimum unit size. Wanting to pace myself, in order to allow any other available time be spent on building and sculpting, I'm doing another 10 ghouls for week 2.
A unit a week? Ghouls!
In an attempt to find new motivation, I've signed myself up for a couple of year-long projects. One is the Gathering of Might at Ammo Bunker, which is loosely paint an army in a year. The other is October Club's 52-week challenge, to paint a model or unit every week (but not necessarily for the same army/game)!
For week 1, which I believe is January 1st -8th, I have chosen to do a unit of ghouls. The unit must meet the minimum unit size, allowing me to split a 40-strong unit across several weeks if needed.
Myrmidon Velites and Skitarii
Also on the desk at the moment are my Myrmidon Velites. I was very tempted to go full-on Greco warriors with these models, but that would be too far beyond the flavour of the rest of my Skitarii. While the force for March will be a 'loyal' army, I still want it to integrate with my Dark Mechanicum collection.
So, like the new blend of Skitarii, I'm toying with Renegade heads again. This time, I'm using more bits and a bit of sculpting.
New Skitarii experiments
With a major overhaul (read: complete re-write) of the Mechanicus codex, it's a little difficult to decide (or know) what my army will comprise come March.
Apart from Skitarii. Everyone has Skitarii!
Rather than re-work my older Skitarii, I fancied trying some new builds. I don't want to alienate new from old, but I do want something different.
The Mechanicum return to the skies
The new-style Mechanicum is well into conception, although I have no new pictures to show you just yet. In fact, I still haven't taken any pictures of my Iron hands from last month. I will get on top of that soon.
Unless there are some major problems with the codex I aim to field a force of Airborne Mechanicum. The army will include 2 Iron Wyvern Gyrocopters, 1-2 Storm Ravens, Robots and whatever jump infantry are required to fill the gaps.
