A nice thing about the Defiler is that it's big and scary. Aside of that making it a big target, it also intimidates opponents. This effect should not be ignored. An opponent shall direct a lot of fire towards this model to try and take it out.
The hazard stripes were made with Tamiya masking tape and the trophy spikes on top were painted in the livery of two of my opponents (red Tau and Necrons).
The lascannons on the side of the Defiler are actually from an old Contemptor dreadnought, I decided to give that dreadnought a conversion beamer and the Contemptor weapons fit perfectly on the sides of Mr. Defiler.
Other stuff on my painting table at the moment are 15 cultists and a 10 man havoc squad with plasma guns. Expect some pics of those, soon.
Defilers also wreck face vs ork dreads in CC, because they swing first...grrr
ReplyDeleteLooking great, Really like your WIP pic's and your Lascannon conversion.....always liked the Defiler cant wait to see it finished.
ReplyDeleteI'm been strangely drawn to 40k chaos with my Horus Heresy Iron Warriors kind of like a dual purpose army 30k and 40k, Could be a good plan that and a way to paint different minis for me.
