Here goes the third batch of my genestealers from the 2014 Space Hulk box. I almost gave up painting those three dude, having a forced stop in the hobby. Thankfully, i past over it and slowly try to retake an habbit to paint. One brushstoke at a time.

Someone once asked why i had painted them with such a colorful scheme instead of the usual white-ish and purple one in the box.

Well. First of all, i don't really like the classic colour scheme, the one from the Leviathan Hive. And by lore, space hulks are very very old space shipwrecks that xenos try to infest to go somewhere else, off the radar and without effort, letting warp-breach and drift do their thing. So for tyranids of a recent invasion, i feel it odd.

Second, i do really like the colour scheme of the Behemoth fleet, the very first tyranid invasion with red skin and dark-blue chitin. It also makes more sense for them to infest a space-hulk rather than Leviathan offspring, since they where here more or less 250 years before. A lot more time and opportunity to sneak into a wreck.

Finally, i did a kind of pinkish purple skin rather than a red one for aesthetic reasons. Blood angels are full red already so it would have been a bit redundant. And i don't really like to paint red much.

Why did i start painting those damn marines...

Tables for games 12-14 of Trench Crusade weekend. Extra games because we have seven players and needed to add a bye each round. This is the home stretch. I don't think we are getting three more rounds in tonight, but damn we got close.

Table C is set up for "Fields of Glory" which has very sparse terrain and a list of random environmental happenings throughout the game.

Table B is set up for "Dragon Hunt" where a demonic tank is rampaging among some peasants. The players have to fight the dragon or they both lose, but need to be dealing with each other as well.

Table A is set up for "Don't Breathe" with an attacker fighting through a line of nasty gas mines to siege a line of trenches.

The Combattler V, Super Robot Star, SLDF wayward Son.

A pioneer of ranged melee attacks armed only with a few small energy weapons and missiles otherwise, its super electromagnetic yoyo can strike at unexpectedly long distances. Attempts to make a mech-sized garrote failed, unfortunately, due to the high variability of mech head size, placement, and lack of necks.

A front right quarter shot of a super-deformed Combattler V miniature, from Super Robot Wars. It is pictured with the two swords that make the Twin Lance melee weapon, and based on a battletech hex base with extremely stubby green grass on brown earth, and my battletech sides, black front, green front sides, yellow rear sides, and red rear. Combattler V is painted in its canonical color scheme, with feet mixed red, white, and blue with blue cockpit windows, blue lower legs and arms, white thighs and upper arms, blue lower torso, red upper torso and head, yellow half-mask beneath its nose, blue earpieces sticking out from the sides, and yellow V with blue "eyebrows" on the forehead between two yellow antennae. The swords are done in full non-metallic metal style, with blue hilts, gold lower section, and black/white gradient non-metallic metal for the blades themselves. The color scheme really makes it clear that this robot was made to appeal to children, wiuth a bit of black and white, and a lot of bold primary colors, with all three present.
A front left quarter of the same mech, showing the rear side NMM work on the left hand sword, and the darker shading on the non-lightward side. The back of the head can barely be seen, with yellow vents on the back of the head. The pose doesn't look as good from this angle, as the head is turned to face the front right side, the right arm outstretched with sword held sideways, and the left arm held out forward with sword held mostly upright.
Rear left quarter shot, showing the full rear of the head, with its large white panel on the upper rear, where the V would be on the front, with yellow venting behind it. The back side can be seen as well, with the tank treads racked in the back, and two yellow boosters above them, all in a recess on each side of the rear torso armor.
Rear right quarter shot, showing the right foot buried in pushed-up dirt and grass, the dark side shading really shown off on the underside of the right arm.
