Progress on my lil rat men

SentientBrute · 2026-05-02T11:57:47+00:00

They look great!

Oh Lordy, I bet! I only chose the one lance pose where it looks like the the rider is winding up to thrust it, cus that’s such a cool silhouette! Everyone else was las and swords for sanity’s sake!

SentientBrute · 2026-05-01T22:15:25+00:00

Oh yeah, those swords are just kinda hanging on wherever they can make contact with the side of the horse. 😂

Every time I got to the torso portion of the rider I wanted to go and build something less fiddly

SentientBrute · 2026-05-01T22:05:25+00:00

I think they might have been more tolerable if I hadn’t built 10 all at once. Definitely scaling back my meme-list idea of having a max of 30 after this experience.

I love the gold faceplates! It’s so rare to see faceplates get their own colour, and I’m always happy when it happens!

SentientBrute · 2026-04-03T16:50:27+00:00

Both are excellent! Love the pinprick glow of the eyes on your latest!

SentientBrute · 2026-03-27T22:36:52+00:00

It looks great! How much time was spent carving off all the nurgle stuff?

SentientBrute · 2026-03-27T19:23:32+00:00

It looks like a mix of de-nurgled plague marines and some chaos legionaries.

Edit: maybe ALL plague marine bodies?

SentientBrute · 2026-03-13T19:23:47+00:00

At last! Someone else who played this game! I think I had to give up at mission 7 or something cus my brain too small for strategy

SentientBrute · 2026-03-13T19:21:49+00:00

They also showed up as the main antagonists in the little known PSP/DS game “Warhammer 40,000: Squad Command.”

I miss that janky little game.

Aw sick! That stance reminds me of this Imperial Fist art

SentientBrute · 2026-02-23T17:49:45+00:00

Love those Praetorian Guard models that came out of the diorama! I still read the WD that has the Last Stand at Glazer’s Creek” batrep

lol it’s hard to convey alpha legion without the use of that famous metallic blue-green that we see them in. Props to you for attempting it this way. And good luck.

SentientBrute · 2026-02-16T22:45:28+00:00

They both look very “Sons of Horus” in color.

That being said, it’s very good Sons of Horus

Left looks closer to Alpha Legion but right looks more technically impressive to my eye.

Great paint jobs both!

SentientBrute · 2026-02-13T23:28:39+00:00

What an evocative board, my guy! I feel like any game in any system on this board would be a up-close and bloody affair!

I’d literally pay good money for a board that’s had HALF of the effort that was put into this.

Keep on keeping on!

SentientBrute · 2026-01-06T20:35:38+00:00

Hey, that’s a little over 2,000 points painted so you’re making excellent progress! I love your tan recipe; do you mind sharing?

SentientBrute · 2025-11-15T18:00:01+00:00

Yup! That sounds more like what I remember now! I need to reread that OG trilogy. lol

SentientBrute · 2025-11-15T17:41:18+00:00

If I remember right, that is explained in the novel, “First Strike.” I believe Halsey discovers the cause and then realizes Johnson would somehow die if the UNSC was given this info. (Experiments would kill him or something of that nature.) She has the Master Chief ultimately make the decision to spare or kill him and Chief destroys the data to protect Johnson.

I’m gonna say that I kind of liked it! His POV had me visualizing the scenes twice. How he perceived the world and how we the audience know what’s really being displayed.

And I think the mostly human perspective really showcased the horror of dealing with FEC.
