dice4thedicegod Posted June 8, 2021 Author Share Posted June 8, 2021 I’d tried to make a doomstalker out of a reanimator a while back… decided I didn’t like it and needed another spider. So, there’s a fair bit of hacking around on this one, and don’t think it looks quite as good as the other. Big question is… do the two high arched ‘legs’ at the back look ok or should they come off?

Miek Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 It looks good, but it think it would look better without the arched legs. dice4thedicegod 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Ikka Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 I think the arched legs would look good without the ball-type foot, maybe replacing that with the particle blasters would look decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Firewalker Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Move the high arched "legs" onto the head, so they may serve as fangs/mandibles? Justify the bulbous tips by stating they're contact disintegrators, useful in Close Combat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Get Thokt Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Perhaps a little late to chime in, but I'm thinking the chaplain head (skull and hood) may be a good idea for a Skelator head MithrilForge and dice4thedicegod 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dice4thedicegod Posted July 28, 2021 Author Share Posted July 28, 2021 Just getting back in to the necrons a bit… got a 1000 point tournament on the horizon and going to take either necrons or dark angels, so getting my options ready. On which note, I realized what was missing from my lord model… Skelators hood! Quick miliput hoody and slap of paint and I think he’s starting to look decent (need to smarten his face up a bit): Bjorn Firewalker, NTaW, Prot and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NTaW Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 My 5 year old son has found out about He-Man because of the reboot, I showed him your work and he loved it! Really cool theme for your army. Best of luck in the tournament! I'm sure we'd all appreciate pics of your army in action if you can manage it.

dice4thedicegod Posted August 5, 2021 Author Share Posted August 5, 2021 Brainstorming for the upcoming 1k tournament. As before, it’s a “bring 2 different lists from the same codex. Show each opponent your lists pre-game, then each secretly choose which of the lists to play. Can’t use either list more than 3 times (5 games total)” One of my lists is going to be mortal wound dealing, for Custodes/deathwing/harlequins matchups. I’m pretty happy with that one… I’m still figuring out the other ‘conventionally killy’ list. Favorite so far is (all are mephrit)(lord Skelator is always warlord with -1 damage trait)(all are 5 cp): ———— Lord with res orb and voltaic staff Royal warden with conduit of stars 20 reaper warriors 20 reaper warriors 5 gauss immortals 4 scarabs 4 scarabs Lokhust destroyer Lokhust destroyer ————— Then there are a couple of other options… A monolith… Lord with res orb and voltaic staff 20 reaper warriors 4 scarabs 3 scarabs Annihilation barge Lokhust destroyer Monolith (gauss) (in aux hvy support) ————— Finally, destroyer cult mixed in: Lord with res orb and voltaic staff Skorpekh lord (merciless tyrant!) 20 reaper warriors 5 gauss immortals 6 skorpekhs 4 scarabs 3 scarabs Lokhust destroyer Lokhust heavy destroyer ————— I feel like the monolith is tempting… but probably awful. Which leaves skorpekh versus second warrior blob… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Monolith is tempting but for a competitive setting is a terrible idea. It’ll either absorb all their antitank fire and die on turn one or two, or get ignored and do terrible terrible damage, but not enough to compensate for the lack of board presence you’re going to have at 1k points. I understand the temptation. But resist. My last game had a monolith, which did some good work and only died to a bad interpretation of the rules by my opponent, but didn’t do enough to make up for the fact that I had three things to hold objectives, and was counting on killing power to remove the enemy’s scoring units. I lost that game. dice4thedicegod 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mordas Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 I love the idea of monoliths and I really do want to get the new model, I have only run the old model once in 9th and Drazar charged it and finished it off, raiders were doing some damage beforehand. It really needs an invulnerable save for something so big and expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wulf Vengis Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 (edited) These are great. Very unique and inspired. I love seeing our collective childhoods pop back up Like this. It makes me smile. You should grab one of these and pluck that staff topper: EDIT: @Mithril: Space Wolves have the 80's He-Man head in their "space wolves pack" box already. I have like six of the this head. I'd happily send one along free of charge for awesome project use, maybe as a Flayer with blue skin and red-orange hair (Faker). EDIT 2: Found it.

Bjorn Firewalker Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Ok… going to finally start the silent king but first things first: a He-Man to go on his base! The bloodstains are a great touch! As an alternate to using He-Man as a base decoration, how about drilling a hole through his torso, so you can pose Skeletor impaling a most hated enemy upon the Havoc Staff, and lifting He-Man off the ground in a demonstration of strength?

dice4thedicegod Posted August 15, 2021 Author Share Posted August 15, 2021 Hmm, I quite like that idea. I may have to set up multiple magnetized versions! Here’s my current set up - I was thinking of having him recoiling futilely before the Skelatoran Kings obeisance generators. He’s on a magnet, so easy to remove - whether for painting, playing or impaling! Dread 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bjorn Firewalker Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 As He-Man is awkwardly leaning back, link a thunderbolt between him and Skeletor's arm, so Skeletor will be Emperor Palpatine (Darth Sidious), using Force lightning to PWN He-Man's Luke Skywalker in a recreation of the climax of Return of the Jedi?
